It’s been quite a while since I posted this, but I wanted to let everyone know what I purchased and that these tires are readily available from a...
I like your plan. Driving them is the best way to enjoy them, whether to the grocery store, auto parts store or to work. Even with all their...
Maybe a Corvair? Still reasonably priced and quite a few around.
I installed a gear vendors unit behind the TH400 in my 70 Grand Prix last summer. I’m pleased with the drop in rpm but as others have stated they...
That’s a pretty mean looking 389, are the intake and carbs from an engine of that era?
I fabricated this adapter from 5/32” thick 4130 sheet. Everything was going great. The bendix to flexplate clearance was good and all the bolt...
Several years ago at our airport we had a three blade propeller assembly show up that was off of a King Air. One of the blades had broken off...
Setbacks. The threaded holes for the 1960 Pontiac engine block bell housing are 7/16 x 14 tpi, whereas the 61(?) and later TH400 cases are 3/8” x...
That sounds like a neat ride. My grandfather loved Studebakers and I’ve always been a Pontiac fan, good combination! I looked for a used Wilcap...
A 1966 2+2 Catalina with the 421 and a 4 speed, dark blue or black, 8 lugs. If money were no option… a 1961 Ventura 421 Super Duty.
Follow up. I took the transmission adapter that bolted to the back of the earlier 59-60 engines and set it up on a milling machine this weekend....
My grandfather was a Studebaker fan, when he passed there were three of them sitting in front of his home. He’d drive one until it wasn’t...
Appreciate the info Terry. I’ve got a drawing for a machined crank flange adapter, just need to get it machined before installation.
[ATTACH] I’m looking for a picture, pdf, or drawing with the dimensions for the 1959-1960 Pontiac bellhousing bolt pattern. I have an adapter...
[ATTACH] Going up for auction today. If it were mine I’d put new tires on it, fix any mechanical issues, and ride it as is.
[ATTACH] Saw this yesterday, 1937 Simplex, all original except for the two switches behind the headlight.
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Bought this new in late 2005, attempted to eliminate it’s new bike look with an S&S air cleaner, spoked rear wheel, and some...
[ATTACH] Saw this one at a gas station the other day. Pretty cool Pan.
Army Harley’s and .45 Thompson sub machine guns, lots to like in this photo!
Your truck looks great with those on it! Let me know if you decide to ditch them in favor of something else :)
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Centerline Rev, my favorite, and thankfully I purchased a set before they changed them and quit making the originals. Now the...
That was my first question. I assumed they would be less with them being an LED. I’ve already added relays to my wiring to give the headlights...
If I could use any brand of synthetic I would use Amsoil, and in my Harley I do. In my daily drivers I’ve always used Castrol but I’m sure Mobil 1...
Back in the mid 80’s I was stationed at Ft Hood, TX and a close friend of mine had a Challenger RT that was identical to the brown car, same...
Looks like a great show, wish I was closer. Those Ardun heads and blower on that blue car would make for a peppy ride.
I saw a Plum Crazy 71 Cuda go for $5k about a dozen years ago and it was in worse shape than that one. Rusty, no engine or trans, no interior, no...
I’m very sorry to hear about the passing of your wife. I lost my Mom 13 years ago and saw what my Dad went through after 45 years of marriage. It...
Sometimes you gotta drive all the work vehicles to make the money to afford the fun vehicles.
[ATTACH] Through the windshield of my 1963 Grand Prix on it’s first voyage after 35-40 years of hibernation in a machine shed. Ignore the hot...
Henry Ford would be very proud of those accomplishments.
