There are very few things other people do that I DO understand.
Like 302 GMC said, good punkin (or ring and pinion) for a '50 Olds. I found out by mistake. Thought it was 4.33. A lot of the 5 lug Chevy pickups...
My bet is that you will never completely get rid of them. I had a '63 Galaxie with a lot of writing painted on it. Took it to the body shop to...
Looks kinda flaky to me.
No, but I have a friend that does. [ATTACH]

When I was in high school in L.A. in the late '50's it was cool to have a name on the rear quarters. They were usually cringy by today's...
Found a '41 Chevy in a junkyard named Peggy Sue.
This reminds me of when I was in high school. A friend had a DeSoto hemi in something and wanted the valve covers chromed. Of course, we had very...

There was an article in one of the automotive rags on this back in the '60's on how to do this. A friend of mine did one and it sort of worked....
Looks like it attracted a lot of geezers,
Unfortunately 1953 was one of least desirable years for Oldsmobiles of the '50's.
Hey, just throw a glass '32 body on it and drive it.
Many decades ago I was service manager for a dealer. I had a mechanic replace the clutch in a '66 GTO. He road tested it and had similar problems....
And all the windows are rolled down.
Looks like he vanished about 9 years ago.
About having thoughts....At age 84, sometimes I sits and thinks, and sometimes I just sits.

That rear kick-up looks sketchy at best.
Separate names with a comma.
