Little details like that add up!
With this one wrapped up, let me express my thanks to everyone who chimed in on the early B cranks!
Model B crankshaft question for you guys: Late B's (the "Model C" as it's known) have cast-on crank counterweights. Before that, there were Model...
Thanks for the input fellas. I'll be trying to get a more detailed inventory of what we have soon, but I'm pretty busy between now and the middle...
We are deaccessioning some items from the (now-closed) Hemmings Motor News museum in Bennington to make room for our project vehicles/raise funds...
Nothing so exotic, thankfully. Older electronics are usually full of expired capacitors, which are basically a smaller version of the condenser...
I have a hard time not collecting things that interest me, so the closest I can offer is something I've collected but have yet to start properly...
I'm heading into the office later this afternoon. I'll try to get a better image of the running 292's date code. Thanks for the information so far.
Stamped number on the running engine appears to be M0512TSA. [ATTACH] Cast number on the running engine is 93406004 (plus Hecho en Mexico)....
It does. @squirrel I'll post up those pictures later on. I'm on deadline for some other things but I wanted to put a little update here while I...
[ATTACH] Thanks to everyone for all the input! A local reader made us an offer we couldn't refuse on this 292 and some ancillaries. If I'm...
That was true from when they built it in the '70s until about a two decades ago, when a management change relegated all museum vehicles to...
No worries, we agree! It currently has the original Huck brakes on the front, but we're in talks with Wilwood about updating to six-lug discs.
Well, now you guys have me thinking about 250s. They are certainly more widespread than 261s and 292s. I forgot to mention that our transmission...
Considered it, but as we want to drive this thing a lot, the Chevrolet engines seem to be the best bet for widespread parts availability. We just...
[ATTACH] The Hemmings Classic Car team is in the process of reviving the company's 1936 Chevrolet panel truck. Although it still rolls on 17-in...
This thing is too cool. I wonder what became of it.
Loving this. Well done. Thanks to Ryan for blogging about it, or I'd probably have missed it.
I've also got these pre-war photos. I don't recall where I found them. This one is labeled as the 1938 Mount Washington Climb to the Clouds in the...
Holy heck. I don't know how I missed this. It's my favorite ARCA car! I can't add anything to what's already been written, but I have had this...
That seems like a smart way to do it. When I bought my Corvair, I just drove it 830 miles home. I was lucky, or the universe protects the foolish.
What was the gearing on the '64, Mike? A lot of guys tend to want to run 3.27s for the top end, but maybe 3.89s would play nicer with a PG/Turbo...
By all reports the turbocharger/Powerglide combination is an abysmal one. My '62 is a PG car too, but my only hop up plans involve a 1965...
I saw a complete Judson kit once for sale online (maybe the same one?) and had similar thoughts. I don't know anyone who has run one on a Corvair,...
Hey, I know that guy!
[ATTACH] This thing...just wow. I want to know everything about it!
My neighbor had one of those owl-eye Dodges when I was a kid. I loved that thing.
I find this quite hilarious, in retrospect. [ATTACH]
