I really like that 40....actually, I really like both of them!!
I work for the city of Portland, and I deal with auto theft on a daily basis. January and February of this year 1,830 cars were stolen. Ford...
I guess I should have looked at your slide show first. There's a lot of rust out! The odd thing is you also have a lot of desirable parts that...
Good score. Not a lot of 58's still around, fewer still with the 6 banger in it. If you decide to part it out, let me know. I could use a...
Actually I sold the Packard about four years ago when I moved. The guy who bought it lives in NE Portland, or at least he did at that time.
SquireDon, do you know what the suspension badge looked like? I had a 55 Packard. Had a jungle gym of torsion bars, electric motors, and...
Nothing like bringing an old post back from the dead!
Looking good. I am also glad you're keeping the Y block. I know it probably doesn't need to be said, but don't throw away anything! I was...
Your stock wheels aren't 15"?
Good save! Don't forget to check really good for mouse damage in the wiring. Nothing like a fire caused by a short to ruin your day. Many of the...
Hey neighbor! Never heard of it. What type of engine does it have?
Mine.
COOL! I gave up trying to find one of those years ago! If you didn't know, they originally came with knobby tires on them. A lot of the early...
I think they just use a regular 3.5x8 Vespa wheel.
Wearing a black HAMB shirt and flight jacket? Exhaust leak...on the car, not me? Yelled at some guy in a Jap car? That was me! I was there...
Yep, that was the look I was sporting!! Difference is, I bet that guy isn't wearing any pants!
I'm one of those short stumpy guys. My shop coat goes to just above my knees. Cop thot it was pretty funny, then we talked cars for a while....
Got the local cops called on me. We live near a park, and lots of people are always walking their kids there. Apparently my shop jacket covers my...
Whatever you do with it, have fun, and post pictures for those of us who don't get to play with cars as much as we used to.
EXACTLY!! Expensive as hell as I've found out, my NOS cruiser skirts didn't have any trim with them. They're 5' long, and finding any trim is...
Go sign up on the NW Hamber social group also.
Another reason to never buy a car without a real title.
Was it recovered in better condition?
Seeing your 58 makes me happy!! :D
Why don't you PM me your list of stuff you need also. I don't have any big body parts left, but I have lots of misc little things left over from...
I digging the fuzz truck....extra fuzzy kudos for the bumper!
I really really want to go, didn't go last year due to sick kids. Previous two years the Y-block stuff I found was very little and over priced....
That is a cool picture! You need to photoshop out some of the modern back grooud stuff.
My 58 is a mild custom. That what you're looking for?
I wish I could take the credit. It's a pic I snagged off here. The thread went to hell after this pic was posted...something about not wanting...
