Sure isn't. There have always been the good stores and the bad stores. And personally, I'll take the pizza faced kid who doesn't know it all (and...
With the right tools, ANYTHING can come off. ;)
I don't know if it will help with this, but when a friend swapped the engine in my 69 GMC van, he just removed the seats, drilled out the spot...
Four doors aren't for girls. They're for anyone who wants to be able to get people in and our of the back seat without climbing over each other....
I'd trade the T-bird for that (which I think is a 65 Galaxie, though I could be mistaken) but I don't know about the Lincoln - that's an awfully...
Well... keep in mind that asking about a two or four door in the same car type would be a completely different question.
Not only would I NOT trade the Lincoln, I wouldn't keep the T-Bird if it was given to me. I'd sell it and put the money into something less ugly...
I got news for you... even that doesn't work. My wife sold her 61 Galaxie (unfinished project car, needed some work but a solid driver) to a nice...
Mine should be making a come back this spring. It's a 69 GMC Handivan. Nothing too special, but it's a fun old beater with a 350 between the...
Before I was old enough to read, my parents used to read to me from a picture book about "a nice old truck" named "Rackety Boom". I still want a...
I've always wondered about venting an engine. I ran an old AMC i6 for a couple of years with the pcv hole plugged off. It came to me that way and...
Oh, thank God! What a relief. Now I don't have to worry about turning into a purple HHR. :D (Not that I drive it more than I absolutely have to,...
Cool. Thanks. :) Seems like I learn something new every day, on here.
Sooo... if I understand correctly, this is really only something to worry about if the wheelbase has been significantly altered? Or can other...
Keep strapping it on. You can't be too careful, even with a lift. A friend of mine (professional mechanic, professional grade lift) told me a...
The postal jeep frame looks pretty much exactly like the CJ frame shown here, except it's a few inches shorter (like the earlier CJs):...
A stubby, T-bucket inspired roadster. It won't really have the correct proportions for a T and not much behind the tub, (the jeep wheelbase is...
I'd probably want to go 2, if I were to bother at all. I'm thinking the issue may have to do with the sideways force that could be exerted on the...
Yeah. I can't find anything online about it either. So it's likely there aren't a lot of folks wanting to do it. I'll probably rethink the idea,...
Why? Because I have it available, and it's a solid, short-wheelbase frame that is easy to get parts for (because it's basically a cj without a...
I can't imagine anybody makes one for it. Though I suppose I could take some measurements and look for something that's similar to try and make it...
Illegal, huh? Is it a safety issue?
'73 Postal Jeep On the spring de-arching... I keep hearing about that, but can't quite wrap my head around it. If you flatten out the spring,...
Okay, maybe this is a dumb question, but bear with me. I'm new at all this. The chassis I'm looking at using for an upcoming project has a solid...
Damn, man. That's quite an accomplishment. Congratulations! Since the photos are going up, I suppose I might as well put my mug where my mouth is...
I guess my tastes have improved with age? :D
Yeah.... But no. Personally, I wouldn't own a car that I had to do that to get in and out of. I can respect someone who just wants a specific car...
Oh, yeah. Now we're talking. Looks roomy, real seats, and the first 30s rod I've seen that looks like it has ample room in the footwell to work...
I'd love an early 50s Buick someday, too. I've always liked those cars. Just something about them.
I have no idea. I was guessing based on the reccommendation to look for a 33-34 and, "Just open your wallet".
