I've gone 155mph in the quarter with no holes in the visors... seems to hold up and not do any funny business.
Here's a pic of my new-to-me '55 150 Moredoor with 74,000 original miles. 6 cylinder 3 on the tree runs like a top. I changed the wheels and tires...
Hi Keith, thank you for the kudos! As for picking wheels… Chinese made American Racing wheels or anything new for that matter is just plain wrong....
I have nothing. I am putting an engine/trans/rear into my POS '55 Taxi for the third time so I can sell it... once sold, I can get back on the...
They welded the perch so close to the axle, the shackle can't ever articulate into the correct position... i.e. facing downward as it goes from...

I'm #13... joined in 1999... but I think some of our numbers aren't the real order as to when we joined. There was a rebench at some point, and...
I will also say... I have the service or the CHP run the numbers before I buy it... just to make sure it's not stolen.
You're talking about two different issues. Overpriced junk and cars without a title. I will agree that if it has a title, it's a bonus. But here...
Thank you Gary! Great minds think alike! If you’re done with that plywood… send it my way! Haha Sam

In June of 1978... I rode in a rumble seat from Modesto, CA to Holyrood, KS... about 1600 miles each way. Of course we had a Rumble Cozy cover...
Cool T! I'd like to see more pics of it! Drag racing pre-1934 hot rods is something I really love. No matter the shape, size, color or speed, I...
So why start with the engine? Well, I had gathered all of my parts, and then got a message from David saying "Brule is retiring in May. You need...

Hi Ron! What year did you graduate? My brother John drove a ‘66 GT Fastback his Senior year from February on… Oh, and he still has it!
I appreciate the kudos… but the blue one… I almost didn’t post a pic… but it connects the dots. Haha
The engine is relatively low compression at 11.5:1… so it will run on the street with 91 octane. Brule said it should be fine, just listen to it....
Of course! I love seeing the updates!
Patiently waiting while I build a frame jig... posts on that real soon! [ATTACH]
Glad there's interest in this project! Let's start at the beginning... the very beginning... This Model A coupe hot rod project is intertwined...
