That would have been before my time. I think I started on the 32 in 2004. Haven't driven it in 3 years, as I've had health problems. I keep hoping...
The story given me, was the person selling it had a father who ran a wrecking yard. He put the registrations in photo albums, and had 100's of...
KenC I had a 54 Dodge Town Panel and the Title number was on the engine. I tried to change it to the body number on the cab, because I wanted to...
Good policy corncobcoupe It's too bad you can't lock a Title like you can a credit card. The paper in the safe deposit box is a false security....
I had my Oklahoma 32 Ford Title cancelled after 15 years, by someone in Texas who used the same VIN number: 18-129997 Which originated in New...
I don't notice any difference in cam oiling between 1500 and 2000, but I will defer to your hemi experience, as I've only built two.
For break-in, I use the Joe Gibbs break-in oil. I run the engine at a low RPM (like 1500) until the oil pressure goes below 10 (mine usually...
Not sure, but the first thing I do is take off all that junk and throw it in the dumpster behind Autozone :-)
You might consider ordering some adjustable pushrods from hot heads. They're expensive, but the only route I know. This is kind of a fun job on...
I think that's what is missing from a lot of truck projects, is the air compressor for a hood ornament. I'm thinking he was a big ole boy, what...
The bumpers are for parallel parking downtown - forward bang, reverse bang, center it, go into the five and dime...
I have a 32 that has been all over but I really don't like to drive on the freeways. Well, I like the speed, but they are in such bad condition...
I think he was expecting you to say "I'll give you $50 a not a cent more". Well, enough for a weeks worth of beer anyway :-)
Looks like you had an airbrush for the edges though. Can't tell, but is the light color in the lace, the car color, or is it whiter? I like the...
I'm wondering if citric acid would be a problem? I think that is what evapo-rust uses. I think O'Reilly's Auto sells it.
That looks great, that needs to be on a magazine cover! :-) I was just thinking, make sure the paint says UV resistant on it. I had a candy...
I call that an oil slinger. I think it just keeps more oil on the chain, and away from the seal.
They are old Kleber 145 SR15's, a VW buddy sold me those back in the late 90's. Blaster came with a hood, and you're right about a face mask!...
I was at Northern Tool and I was talking to the salesman about a sandblaster, and they were all high priced. He said, how about $20. Hell yea! So...
I have a set of those slicks. They weigh about 70 pounds each :-) Never could get them to balance though, so they are just for looks.

Have him send you a picture of the title and the VIN tag.
When I had a burglary the cop showed-up with a bulging packet of forms. "Busy week?" I asked? He just laughed "Busy shift." Anyway, eBay and a...
Congrats! ...and I know cobweb paint will come back some day (the Riviera), as it was the standard paint job on every Econoline I saw in the 70's :-)
I think if you get caught with Meth they should put you to sleep, and burn the body to make electricity. You can't fix a brain.

Well this thread is a year old... My reason for car insurance isn't for my car, it's for me killing or maiming someone in an accident, or for...
54 Savoy was my first car. Listening to the radio for an hour sucked the battery dry, and produced a lot of heat from the tubes :-) Drove it...
I never get emotional about steel. If I saw a pickup truck filled with watermelons, now there's something to get emotional about!
I always liked this year Dodge truck. I used the front-end idea on my 54 Panel. I call that center thing a "buck tooth" and getting rid of it...
