Does anyone out there have any memories or pics of the drag strip in Cotati, CA back in the '60's? I remember going there a couple times as a kid....
It IS a short box and already has a running 350 Chevy and AT in it. The price is very good, that's what's tempting me. I can get it for what the...
I remember finding CenLa raceway by accident late one night in late '77 when I was in the AF in Alexandria. I saw the overgrown sign at the bottom...
Thanks guys, I have heard some horror stories about these things flexing like crazy too but I have also talked to few guys at shows with them and...
I have a chance to pick up a 61 SWB Ford Unibody PU but the top is full of rust and bondo. Thinking about cutting the top off of it and running it...

I've seen that orange Gremlin in Car Craft mag a couple of times running the year-end wheelie event at Byron. I wish I lived back there to watch...
I can remember helping my best bud in HS back in '76 get some street cred by putting in a 400 Poncho and T400 in his '71 Gremlin. It looked pretty...
I'm getting in on this from a little different situation since I was looking up 52 Desoto stuff and found this string. I have a 52 Desoto Firedome...
Anyone out there have any experience updating to a newer Olds motor/tranny combo in these era Olds? The original 394 motor seems kinda tired and...
Does anyone know if the Olds club is holding one in Vallejo in April/May or the ones sponsored by Vintage Chevy Club under I-80 in Sacto or the...
No way I can get there from NorCal for the Desoto, but if no one takes it I need the headlight rings for my '52 if you decide to part it or crush...
I have never driven the car, I have only heard it run. The previous owner said the car does drive but it changes poorly between 2nd and 3rd...
Thanks guys, I think..... Hey CW and d2, what the heck is that all about? Can't we all just get along and help our motorhead brethren out without...
I'm thinking about picking up a '61 Olds 98 mordoor HT with a 394 and a bad tranny. Does anyone know what years/other GM makes are...
Anyone have a list of NorCal swap meets coming up this spring? I went to Turlock and got a couple of flyers and I know there will be the Spring...
I totally agree that this year's show sucked! Last year's "Suede Room" made me feel like Jake Blues seeing the light!! I immediately sold my 80K...
Hey Gang, Did a little research at the local pic-n-pull last week and found a couple of different versions of van brackets that sit the pump up...
Hey Rodhotz, tell me more about the electric steering pumps. I'm an old fart and didn't know they made 'em......
41 C28, That bracket and pump looks like the unit I have. My rear bracket bolts on the block very low though. I will need to bring it up higher to...
I have a mid 70's 318 and 904 AT in my 52 Desoto Firedome and have hit a snag. I have put the engine as far back and as far up as possible in the...

Is everyone allergic to De-So-Lows or what?? I was hoping to hear some inspiring words from you guys. Winter's almost here and the wife says I'll...

Thanx guys. The car was a runner just before I bought it but the T350 tranny was out of it for front pump seal replacement. The only thing I did...
Just replaced my 6 banger frame mounts on my 58 Biscayne 4 door to get my 350/350 combo in the right place so the headers will fit. Of course, now...
