Hi, Is there an “I’m looking for...” section? Looked around but didn’t see anything. Wanted to ask before I cluttered up the wrong forum with my...
Chew ice! No AC in my any of my cars, so whenever it’s over 85/90 I grab a cup of ice on my way out and refill it at gas stations. Holding the cup...
Wow that thing looks absolutely gorgeous! Would love to see a few more pics when you get time to post em. Sent from my iPhone using The...
Especially Road Rocket - it shows that in the end cars don’t keep the girl, personality does. I was really surprised. His themes were so specific...
A custom dash is a great idea for this year as nobody repops them. I looked into having it made and remember it costing the better part of 800...
Love the wire wheels on the first car - I’m guessing they are real wheels. But the straight laced second car are probably hubcaps. Anyone know for...
I’m close-in SE Portland by the Brooklyn rail yard, There’s a couple other hot rodders that live near me, but it’s become a hard place to be a...
Thanks for the replies guys. Really appreciate the help. The window screen method makes sense, I’ll probably go this route because it’s too tight...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] This piece is part of the housing that holds the heater core to the firewall on my Galaxie. It came out with the core when I...
I’ve heard that all else being the same, a 4 door will be about 75 pounds heavier than a 2 door. I think this was in the case of a 55 Chevy. The...
I started a list of things I want to see there: DETROIT Henry Ford/ Greenfield Village Museum Fairlane Highland Park plant - run down main office...
I had a tick under acceleration that got louder over time. It turned into more of a “chuh chuh chuh” sound. Turned out to be the crumbling donut...
What? I thought I was agreeing with you... didn’t mean to piss you off man. I don’t get it
The irony is that you’re telling me this online. :) But I get what you’re saying and it’s a good reminder. First place I started was my parts...
Exactly what I want is a time machine to the 60’s and an empty suitcase to fill, but instead of that I’ll see how close I can mimic it. Or I’ll...
Nothing against Mexicans, problem is more with the gringos running the show. Every company has different priorities and communication styles....
Yup and straight up is situation normal
I hear ya but I’m gonna hold out and learn the hard way. Plus no drilled and tapped holes in my case.
Yeah good point. I do a lot of night driving. And in Portland Ore a lot of day driving is like night driving...
That’s a clean lookin setup. 2 5/8? And why the two water temp gauges? Do you have a sender in each end/side of the intake? Or one in the head?
Wow I’m surprised at how affordable they are... Problem is I don’t know enough to know what questions to ask, no warranty, etc. I’m not against...
Yup I agree. Plus they no longer offer ANY mechanical gauges. Also I’m not sure I trust a maker of precision instruments who spells like this......
Autogage = imported No disrespect to your build, dash looks great, just gonna hold out a bit longer to see what I can find...
I don’t blame you - SW still makes good looking gauges, but I’m going to hold out a bit longer and see what I can find. It’s a significant chunk...
Are they still in business?
Thanks I’ll check em out
I’m looking for opinions on auxiliary auto gauges. Need pressure/volts/temp and maybe a vacuum. Here’s my list of wanted attributes: Good quality...
You’re one of the guys whose posts I especially take notice of. I’ve learned a lot from you over the years, along with Atwater Mike, the retired...
Just to reconfirm all of the above: PETE PAULSEN STILL SUCKS! I’m having the same experience described above: charged immediately but then waiting...
I’ve been dailying a Galaxie 500 since my truck died last fall. I didn’t think I could do my job without a truck but I can fit a 17’ little giant...
