Quite honestly I would be surprised if both the speedway and cpp weren't made by the same place. Not having seen the kits side by side it's...
I'm happy with my speedway kit. Worked out well with no issues. They come drilled for 5x4.75 but if you call them I believe they can swap the...
+1 vote for Stuarts advice. Unless that rear end is scattered or the housing is damaged there's no reason to change it out. Guys raced and flogged...
We would love to help you out. But some more information is needed. 1963 what? As far as camaro spindles. Not likely. Tons of kits out there to do...
What kinda condition is the car in? A pile of parts takes considerably more shipping consideration and cost than if the shipper can simply drive...

[ATTACH] The chrome valve covers will be replaced eventually. I detest them and they need to hit the trash bin along with the gross T-handles. I...
Over the long memorial day weekend I got a visit from my dad. He was gracious enough to come down from Oregon to help he on the project. We pulled...
A few updates on the heirloom project. I've been lax on takin pictures so your just gonna have to settle for the old fashioned imagination for...
I had an OT 70's Buick that did the same thing. It had an idiot light, so I added a mechanical gauge in addition to the light. Just for good...
I have the same seats in my OT vw glass street buggy. Those are stock seat rails in a generic glass seat tub. You can still buy the seats and the...

Same for Carson City, Nevada. Reno is close too though.

Ha! Good thing you didn't talk any smack!
