[ATTACH] Mine's a Chevy, but you tell me- goofy?
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] PROGRESS! Outside with the newly rebuilt front suspension. The big block springs raised it enough to make it drivable....
Nice work on a great car. Makes me want to get busy on my '40 DeLuxe Coupe.
FINALLY, got my new front springs. Didn't think something so common ('70-'81 Camaro Big Block) would take so long to get here. Hoping it lifts...
Decided that 28 louvers @ $5 or so a hole, ain't happening on this stupid heater project for a vehicle that may never see the road, so I did them...
I don't understand your analogy, because she sounds like the perfect woman!

A complete waste of time, I'm sure, but since I'm waiting on parts for the current suspension rebuild on my '47 Buick, I'm turning this old...
Thanks for the pics. There's some really cool stuff there. I should make the trip someday. Glad you're doing better & still making music. My...
Nice find!
Every time I see Hagen headlights, I think of Marty Feldman: [ATTACH]
Looking good Bob. I know I don't need to say it, but boy those rear wheels are hideous.
This is a great build. First time I've seen it. Impressive!
@BJR Fresh gaskets. The old ones looked good too. There was no indication of a bad gasket, and the heads were magnafluxed. The valve seals...
Still running hot. Apparently, 500 Caddy motors are hard to cool. Rebuilt heads, new gaskets, etc., started up and after a couple minutes...
Here's a shot of what I did. Coat hangers bent to fit & clamps stolen from an old chair. Overlapped enough for the clamps to hold, and that's...
You cover the wires/springs with burlap, before adding the padding. It's been done this way for longer than I've been around.
I have replaced rusted seat wires with coat hangers bent by hand and cut to length. I used a couple "clamps" that I stole out of an old...
[MEDIA] And "Rocket 88" is considered the first rock n roll song. Not "Little GTO."
As stated, remove that front oil fill/breather. Put the proper outlet on that head so the upper hose/pipe is vertical, and not 90* from the head....
wow.
The taillights/rear section is a little strange. It seems to not fit the rest of the overall look of the car, but I dig it. I'm a fan of the...
Started to clean things up a bit to put my rebuilt heads back on, and found this: [ATTACH] Apparently, it's not the 62K mile creampuff it was...
Ho Ho Holy shit, that's cool!
One of my favorite body styles!
I've seen this thing listed for sale. I don't remember the asking price. My first thought was that it's not really my style, but to quote...
I'd rock those taillights. Funny how when you tell somebody your plans, they tell you how you're ruining the car, because they wouldn't have the...
'66 LeSabre 4 door sedan. Looks to be pretty complete minus engine. 2 speed trans is in the trunk. Hood is in the shop. Frame and floor have...
umm...no. [ATTACH]
