[img] 4" cut from the coils in front, 3" blocks in the rear, raised the front shock mounts 1" to get travel back. Gonna do the same to my '63...
If you look at the pic from when it got here first, you can see rust on the passenger rear quarter around the trim holes and at the corner of the...
Bought this '63 Mercury Comet S-22 20+ years ago, and drove it for a bit. Was going to customize it, but life got in the way and 16 years ago, I...
Well, you have to remember, this discussion shows up in the "General Discussions" portion of the HAMB, too. ;)

My '63 Comet (as I started on it, and as it will be. It's torn apart right now...) [img] [img]
Yup. 20 years old can get "historic" plates if it's stock, and "street rod" plates if it's modified. But there are mileage restrictions, as they...
Actualy, I'd agree with him. I've had fast cars and sports cars for decades, and the only ones I'd routinely get followed in and closely examined...
Yes, they have. And the point of radar and the like was to reduce the chances of human error in estimating exact speed and reducing the chances of...
I have a Hobart 250ci 110v plasma. http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200336604_200336604 Not a heavy duty unit, but it cuts pretty...
Sad to see them go (Mercury is the reason for my user name). the reason they existed in the first place really doesn't exist anymore. Back when...
That SecurityTool2010.org PM is hitting a lot of forums this month, with peopel geting PMs from "teamModerators' or Administrators" (and the user...
On mine I had a local auto parts store use their source for custom bolts. I gave them the U diameter and the bar stock diameter and they had a set...
I have a feeling those rear springs were not correct to start with none of my falcons sat that high in the rear stock, which is why I could go...
yeah, but those years are at the end of your life and would probably be crappy anyhow... lol!
Costs should be fairly easy for the shop to estimate, based on similar project costs (and known material costs), even if the actual timeframe is...
People used to live in caves, too and died early from diseases that modern tech can cure. I see you've evolved beyond cave dwelling, so why be...
I'm seeing a difference between hot rodding and traditional rodding. You're right. This board is about replicating old cars using old tech....
I always crack up when I hear people talk about the 100-200 mpg carburator... Like they forget other countries that have been designing cars...
Rustyford, if you can't keep up with the conversation, that's your problem. Please look at metalshape's posts on page two. And you can keep your...
This BOARD is pre '64. Cars built in the gasser style are part of this board. Gassers are part of hot rod history. And that's what we're talking...
VWs built before 1964 as gassers would belong here just as much as an Anglia or Fiat Topolino. And that's just here in the US. In general, we have...
Are you telling me that foreign cars were NOT used as hot rod and custom fodder before 1964? that I'm somehow rewriting history by saying they...
That last bit is really at the crux of it, isn't it? Opinion vs fact, vs knowledge. Pure opinion can't be argued with, unless it's BASED on a...
Very nice. My first car was a '62 Comet sedan, that I customized. Unfortunately, back in '78, that sort of car was not considered cool at all, and...
And we've already established as FACT that hot rods in the US were built from whatever people had on hand, and that a number of them were built...
http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/iron_man/ 94% positive rating on Rottentomatos, which is outrageously high for a superhero flick.
Cars don't have soul except for what the builder has put into it. And I respect any car well built by an enthusiast, be that a 36 Ford taildragger...
I really have to laugh at this thread. "those damn fool kids and their hopped up cars, and their evil music" A line that's been levelled at...
