I actually kind of dig the grille without the teeth, maybe weld up the holes and have the grille re-chromed. That would give a nice clean/custom...
I've heard lots of good things about HAMBer BenD, who does auto transport. Look in the Hamb-o-dex. Welcome from So. Texas.
Maybe go with a bellflower style on that ride.
Man, that powder-blue on the wheels is killer. What will be the plan for paint?
Hell yeah, that thing is going to be killer! I need to find one of those and terrorize the neighborhood. I'm 5'4" and 125lbs, so I should be a...
^^^^Looks like the same car. The power of the HAMB is amazing!
I would put gas in it, roll down the windows, hang an elbow out the drivers side and just ride around town. Looks great as it sits, imho.
A friend of mine has a 1959 Starchief with the original seats and headliner. The headliner is covered with tiny little tone-on-tone stars and the...

Be sure to turn off any lit pilot lights in the garage! If your water heater is out there and you fire off that bug bomb it might go boom.
Was it really buried behind lots of stuff in a shed or barn? Did you take any pictures of it while it was buried? Looks like a pretty killer...
Just my opinion, but the body on that car is too bulky to look right with a chopped top. I would leave the top as it is and drop the car a bit....
Spacers would stiffen the spring and keep it from compressing, no? Not actually lower the vehicle. Never heard of lowering blocks for the front.
My first thought, when I saw the photo of the barn was that you had "bought the farm". Since that wasn't the case, and there was a killer '55 in...

Sealer or primer surfacer...thicker stuff
Put a V8-60 in it, buy a helmet, and hold on to your butt! :)

I see alot of iron around there and San Angelo along Hwy 87. Yeah, the folks are swell too. My wife grew up there and also taught at Texas Tech,...
Nobody else has seen this book?
I was up in Lubbock with the wife visiting my in-laws this past weekend and had some free time on Saturday afternoon to engage in my favorite past...

Make sure your radiator can handle long stretches in traffic during the hot months. Maybe get some kind of electric push/pull fan, put in a new...
Alright, let's just chalk this one up to a bad case of the jitters. Thanks guys...glad to know that some of you other folks have gotten PM's about...
That's it, I'm sleeping in the trunk of the car tonight with a gun so big that officer Tackleberry would be envious :)
