Are there no other "long-term" owners out there?
Let's see some rods that you have owned continuously for over 50 years and tell us about that journey. Here is my 1934 Plymouth coupe that I...
Let me know if you need pictures, part numbers, etc. I used to own a hot rod parts store and TCI was one of the product lines I handled. You...
Thank you for the offer, but I am actually trying to sell the project (without much success), although I keep an eye out for needed parts. I had...
Thanks. I have a 2" chopped windshield with glass, but haven't acquired the stanchions yet. Are yours' stock height or chopped?
You are welcome to pick through what little brain material is left. Glad to help. My roadster project is a little further along now and has a...
VERY nice!
Keep in mind that you will have all of the normal '33/'34 roadster body alignment problems when you go to install the body on a frame for the...
I have a TCI frame with a Currie 9" rear using coil-overs and 4-bars, plus an anti-roll bar on my '33 roadster. Although I am using a Wescott...
I have the same problem with the swap meets in our area. Almost all of them are turning into flea markets, selling clothes, trinkets, toys, etc....
Does the proportioning valve have a check valve in it? Many of the "factory" style proportioning valves have a check valve that will slide to the...
When I go up to the Goodguys show at the Texas Motor Speedway from the Hill Country north of San Antonio, I always go up US-281 and then cut over...
Yes! Years ago (1975) I built my '34 Plymouth coupe - all original body, fenders & frame. All it took to make it a hot rod was to modify what...
My on-going project with a 348... [ATTACH]
What about sailboat masts?
Karl, Thanks for all of your support and help over the years. I was one of your dealers (Hill Country Performance) many years ago until I sold...
Looks like a deer whistle to me.
Man, that really hurts...and hits close to home.
There has got to be an interesting story there.
My wife doing what she does best at another rod run, this time with the most recent addition to the toy box. We have been married for 54 years...
I share the feeling that we should drive our toys whenever possible, but there are lots of times that we need to haul it somewhere to get work...
This has been an interesting read. Is a steel, rusty, crusty, tricked out "rat rod" worth more than a painted, full fendered fiberglass "hot...
I have 3 hot rods. One is an original steel car (body, fenders, frame) that I built in 1974. It's a Plymouth coupe. Chassis is modified, 350...
Sold!
I have never ridden in a rumble seat, and at 6' 3", I probably never will. With the battery taking up the floor space on one side, the rumble...
I'm curious. Who are you referring to?
Yes, I do! That was a long time ago in a different world!
I got my first hot rod 50 years ago in 1974, when I was much thinner and had different colored hair.[ATTACH] It lasted a year before I tore it...
