Nice looking work, Jeff! I recently tried to post pictures and found my pictures are too big now that I'm using my cell phone camera. I'll have...
Nice to see the car getting restored back to as close to practical the way it was in Graffiti. In 1977 I talked to Sam Crawford who owned the...
My son, Marcus can punch 3" louvers. It's not something he likes to do normally because layout and the time it takes to do it takes so long it's...

Hey Jeff, give Driveline Service in Santa Rosa a call...I'll bet Greg can fix you up. They're THE place for any driveshaft needs.

It's more than likely a Professional Products brand manifold which is pretty much a Chinese rip off of the Edelbrock design. I have one of these...
If the clutch disc was installed as you have it pictured here, it looks to me like you had the disc installed backwards. That is, the more flush...
I agree...leave it the way it is. No tu-tone and absolutely no clear coat. It's an either leave it alone just cleaned up thing or do a bang-up...

Damn, Kevin...you've done a great job on that 55!
I don't know if they'll make the cars & coffee a regular thing or not. It was just a seat of the pants decision to do it this morning. I'll let...
