I had my local upholstery shop stich me up some diamond patern material. Then did it myself. Had them do the door panels and headliner.
Good question...I checked....it doesn't. Pretty sure it's graphite. I found out they DO use it in clutches. Either way, I'll find out when I...
With less than 300 miles on a fresh build, my clutch started slipping (early Olds w/T-85). It worked just fine the first 200-300 miles and then...
I had a white 63 box top XL 406 with that exact same interior. Alas, I have no pictures of it.

I like the interior colors...looks "retro".
My channeled 30.
You can....but just not everyone.
Where does D&S fall into this conversation. I had seen D&S before, but not with this "arrow" cast thru the logo.
I have a 65 327 with a T-5 out of a 87 S-10 behind it. I have the 5/8" spacer between the tranny and bellhousing. This is in a 51 "shoebox". When...
The swit Boy, you need to talk to my buddy....that's nearly exactly what he runs behind his Y-block. Unfortunately, he's not on here. But to...
Well you're right, I was just being sarcastic. I have a lot of early speed equipment and I recognized the names as being important manufacturers...
Golly, I guess I am stupid to buy early speed equipment to add to my other early garage art speed equipment. I'm going to need therapy.
Picked these up a local swap meet. They are obviously made for early SBC. They have names like "Engle", "Mc Gork" and "Sig Erson". I know these...
YIKES...
Always wondered...is the other one chromed...?
The short answer is no...wait for "Diamondbacks".
I pondered this same guestion a couple of months ago, so I engaged our friend..."Google". Evidently the correct terminology is....."souped up"
Thanks for feedback...will check it out.
Are there any Chevrolet bell housings that have the clutch arm other than 9 o'clock....like maybe 7 o'clock. Having trouble getting linkage to...
Congratulations, you've done a fabulous job on that top, especially adding all the stainless and the quarter window. Big improvement. Just my...
Looks like the "Rambler" mearly wanted a place to park inside the swap meet...
What "squablow" said. Probably why you don't see many 57-58 hubcaps around, cause if you don't get the "clips" with them, you can't mount them. I...
All 57 hardtops had the 3 piece rear window. There was no other style.
If for some reason your stock gauges do not work, you can remove them and replace the inards with those from a 63 or so pickup truck. All Ford...
Great pictures, thanks for posting. One comment tho....those black rims and small hub caps are not a good look for that gorgeous black GP.
Just a guestion here....but what is wrong with the way it sits now...?
The ones pictured are what I have in my Olds powered Model A. Original, got them off a 48 Merc I drug home that had an Olds motor in it.
I have nearly every auto magazine from 48 to the 80s when I started tapering off. If I was to cull the collection, what would be a good "cut off...
