I just noticed I've been here for 20 years. Time flies!
Congratulations! Looks like a fun event and a great road trip. Nothing like traveling in an old car, especially an early Corvette. Next, I think...
I think he meant nose weight, not noise. I'm sure the hemi is at least a couple hundred pounds heavy than a SBC but I'm not road racing the car so...
You are correct. I think what I have now other than lack of overdrive, is best for what I want. All my other cars are OT 1960s/'70s muscle cars...
Ohhhh, an ultra rare hemi headed SBC complete with PVC injectors! :D I really like you flower pot holder though. :cool:
I didn't mention the front suspension because it is OT (Camaro clip). This is something I considered as well. I plan on changing the front springs...
I agree with your thinking on this. The engine is all stock and even has a 2 barrel carb on it. The hot rodder in me wants to modify it but I...
I had also thought about leaving the SBC and doing my road trips for a couple years and then doing the Hemi swap. I think your idea is better...
Now, there you go being all sensible and shit. :D This is probably the best way to go and was my original plan with the car. Wasn't really...
I have a bunch of cars and have been selling some off. I'd like to get down to maybe one hot rod and it will be this recently acquired '48 Chevy...
My '47 Chevy. Looking to add some color to it. Flames? Scallops? Two tone? [ATTACH]
She called Hagerty and they got her covered. Thanks for all the replies.
CA Title is now in her name.
Hope it's okay to ask here. A friend of mine pasted away a few weeks ago. He had a chopped top '51 Merc which he left to his daughter. She doesn't...
Thank you, @themoose What a difference a change and in wheels and stance makes! Can you do one more like the others but with the existing wheels?
You guys are amazing! [ATTACH] I'm not crazy about these shiny 5 spokes on my recently acquired Sedan Delivery. I have a pair of 15x10 aluminum...
My '63.5. Now ready for paint. just have to decide what color to go with then sent on new chassis. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I just searched Corvair transmission and found it. Thanks!
Anybody recognize this? Looks like it could be a transmission but has an input shaft but no output shaft. There is a cover plate on the back side...
Road trip threads are my favorite. Great trip and great photos! How "couped" up were you two in that Model A?
I'm working on my little camp trailer, prepping it to leave Friday morning. I'm 450 miles west of the salt so should be there by noon. Forecast...
I need some one to appraise a couple '32 Fords in Buffalo NY. I'm in NV so can't just pop over there. Anybody have a guy? Thanks.
Well, he deleted the ad so I guess he figured out I was on to him and his BS. I'm sure I'll never hear from him again. Here is the phone number...
I'm bummed but not surprised. Still a nice car except for the hideous wheels. Would look so much nicer with some steelies on it.
That's the car, dang it! I knew it was too good to be true. He was asking $32K for it. Good detective work, Squirrel. Thanks for saving me a...
If he sends me the house photo I'll ask for a photo of title and VIN tag on car. If that is good I'll either drive out with my truck and trailer...
I know, if it seems too good to be true it probably is. I'm looking at this '34 five window at a very good price. Seller says illness forces...
Man, that is a beauty! I'm a hot rod guy so I'd go with 327 but leave the exterior as is.
Lots for sale but I'm not seeing prices drop. When I can pick up a nice Deuce for $15K then I'll say their popularity is in decline.
Awe, quit your bitchin'! :D I don't mind real patina. I don't even mind fake patina if it is done nicely. What I absolutely hate though is...
