I got back over to the shop today, and here's where things are at now. It should be done and ready to go next week.
My lovely wife has given me a cool B-day present--she's giving me a new interior for my barn-find '60 Chevy Biscayne. We don't have the...
I'd love to make that, but we can't be there until Sunday morning...
Here's mine--a 283 SBC with just a little chrome on it..... [IMG]
If the wiper arms are not siezed, then you may have a switch issue or a wiper motor issue. You can pull the wiper motor assy. and jumper it...
I was pretty psyched when my car fired for the first time in 38 years.... Getting it licensed, insured, and on the road was a great feeling.
Too cool! My first car was a 4-door '64 Ambassador. Glad to see some Rambler love on here.....
This one's really a car and really found in a barn.... Unlike the OP, I've got pictures prove it!!! [IMG] [IMG] My barn find was sitting for...
Be careful with the gas tank!!! If it's had leaded fuel sitting in it for the past 40 years then there'll likely be a lot of sludge in the tank...
I've got you beat by 7 years--the one I'm working on was parked in '72. Since I licensed it as an antique and that makes me exempt from...
Yeah, we know some of the same people, I've been at Gerry's camp plenty of times. Last I knew, he was still on that farm down around the KY/TN...
Maybe so--I used to do a lot of trekking, demonstrations and reenactments in Indiana, Kentucky, and Tennessee, and a little bit in Michigan, Ohio,...
That's a pretty cool video. I've done a few stock removal knives (that's the process the guy in the video uses), and doing a passable job, much...
Hot rods and get-down rockabilly.... What's not to like about that? Yep, I'm diggin' it!
That cam should give you exactly what you want--streetable power and a good sound. My '60 Biscayne came with a 2-barrel 283. When I rebuilt...
Looks like a hell of a good time was had by all!!!!!
Maybe you could do an online subscription thing where the magazine is entirely electronically published rather than printed? I get a couple...
At least he didn't look you straight in the eye and say "I'm looking right at one right now...." :eek:
Sounds like either timing or valve lash, if you know the carb's set up OK.
We're the second owners of the '60 Biscayne we're fixing up. The first owner was a chicken farmer that lived up almost at the top of the...
Here's a 1960 Biscayne that was in a chicken house from 1972 until I purchased it at an estate auction in 2010. The 283 was locked up, the brakes...
Looks good! I like the look of the Sedan Delivery and wagon, too. They are just cool looking. I had to replace everything in the brake system...
Thanks for the compliments on the look of the engine! I saw a picture of one that looked sort of like that and I liked the look, so I switched it...
Sorry to say, the upholstery, with the exception of the door panels, is in rough shape. Many generations of rats, mice, spiders, and such have...
Here's the backstory on this car--the original owner bought it as a mid-year car in '59. In '72, the wife decided that it was time for an...
I've been on ChevyTalk for a while now, and found out about this forum, so here I am! I'm working on my first "restoration" project, and it's...
