My suggestion to move the plug wires back one spot is meant to be a diagnostic tool, not a permanent solution. The permanent solution has been...
A couple of reasons...the paint was free from a friend, and I always loved the factory coral and shadow gray combination. I just wanted to toughen...
You're distributor is one tooth off, maybe more than one...If you have the timing advance cranked, and it's barely running, then it's still...
Valves to tight / hanging open ?? Usually, it WILL pop through the carb when timing is advanced to far...firing before intake valve closes. I...
It's Cragar S/S for me...I really don't like them on pretty much any other car though. [IMG]
My old '56...I kind of wish I had it back, although, I'd love to have a clean '59 chevy wagon in my garage too...maybe someday. [IMG]
Totally up to you, of course...But you've nailed the look and stance on the 40. I understand what you mean about being too rough and raw for...
I found this site years ago, there's an index page filled with make / model / year, so you can search through just about any car or truck you'd...
I got you to edit your thread title though, didn't I....Now, if you'd add Falcon and Comet to it, you might just get some answers. Well, maybe you...
Nope, it says, and I quote " Lets see em boys and girls" I popped in here to see "what" we were looking at...thought it might be puppies or...
My old 48...Some hot rod re-seller from Tx bought it off of eBay from me...Who knows where it is now. [IMG] [IMG]
I bought a set about 4 years ago...wasn't planning on it, but they were on the clearance table for $29.00. I got home and found one single jaw...
Nuthin' to see here in Kansas....move along...
That I couldn't tell you, other then it was original to that car...If I had to guess, it was the mid length transmission. I used an HEI, had to...

You nailed it with your first picture, 1955 Chevrolet Coral and shadow gray
I was going for OEM / Driver...by the time I got through the bodywork stage, I settled on dump truck. It happens...but then again, I didn't have...
I'd give the OP a break on this line of thinking...Most people would assume "body and paint". I mean, when I decided to "paint" my own car, I knew...
I apologize in advance....but... [IMG]
I think that California is the LAST place I'd try to pass that title off as real....didn't some big name car builders face jail time in the last...
Maybe not way back in history, but hopefully, one day my son can use this photo... [IMG]
Umm, I don't know, seems like quite a haul for a weekend...we'll see what we can work out.
True, but I have a hard time believing that a guy willing to strip his own car doesn't have one already...but, if not, they're available for less...
$200 will buy a LOT of these...they work really well... http://www.harborfreight.com/4-1-2-half-inch-nylon-abrasive-wheel-94017.html
Sorry about the sidepipes...they've disappeared...I think I sold them to a hippy with an old van.
I shall start a "gofundme" campaign...surely you'll help pay for the sparkly stuff.
