Bought some gauges last night. I needed the gas gauge the most, especially since I ran out of gas on the way to work recently. The other two I...
Thanks. I’m really happy with the look. I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel about it but I’m glad I did it.
[ATTACH] Hood painted along with original grill shell. I’m really happy with how it turned out.
I’m still working on the hood latches but here’s how the hood and original grill shell looks. If anyone has an original grill and radiator cap...

Eye Candy for you.[ATTACH]
I found this picture online. Looks like it was in Ohio before it reached the Northeast.[ATTACH]
It did come from California but GregCt bought it from another gentleman in Connecticut. That guy got it from Cali. He actually passed away and his...
My tach wasn’t showing the correct RPM and I was told I had a .500 reducer on it. I took it off and success. The cable was a pain to get on so I’m...
Check back a few posts and you can see a video. Mike from “This Old HotRod”. He’s in Mass.
My hood is all done. I just have to go pick it up. I’m picking it up a New England Dragway next Sunday. [ATTACH]
No worries. I appreciate you too. Lol. I’ve seen a few different ways but the pictures Joe Blow sent were great. I’m definitely going to use that...
Nice! That’s just what I was looking for. Thanks. This is a perfect example of why this forum is so great.
Dropped my hood off today to get the louvers. They’ll be done by next Sunday. I’m excited about seeing them and installing the hood. I’m still...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Here is a shot from the side. I’m wondering what the best way to hold the hood down on the sides. I have a couple of ideas but...

Thanks for the tip. I did find someone closer to me. I’ll be getting the hood done in a couple of weeks. I’m not sure about the trunk yet. I’ll...
I think so too. At some point I’ll be doing the same to mine. The stainless tank I have just doesn’t do it for me. Way to shiny and it stands out...
Used some scrap from work to make a license plate bracket. It’s much better than the tie wraps that I had going around my front axle. Sometimes...
That car is sweet. I saw that for sale. I tried to trade my truck for it but he didn’t bite. Congratulations on it. Great score.
Adjusted the brakes today and thought I’d post a picture of underneath for anyone that is interested in checking it [ATTACH]
I’d love to see some pictures of it.
I might put steel lines on at some point but for now just a quality rubber line is what I’m going to use.
[ATTACH] No offense taken. I am always looking for input to help me get the most out of my ride. I was considering changing the lines to hard...
Went to a cruise night on Friday and got stuck in some traffic. The temperature never went over 180 degrees. I took it up on the highway too and...
Back up and running again. Painted up the engine and radiator shroud too. It came out pretty good. Took it to work today ran at 160 degrees....
