My '41 in my avatar will NEVER be sold! It was bought new by my Grandpa, who gave it to my Mom, who has passed it on to me. I have already...

I really like the lines on your car! That is one of the best chop profiles I've seen!

Hey gang, I finally decided what direction I want to take my car towards. I know a lot of people will disagree, but I'm pulling out the original...
I'm sure my vote will be subjected to a lot of criticism too. But if the budget is as tight as mine I would go with a SBF. Everyone is says...
Cool what did you use to cap off the extra two ports?
I'm considering swapping out the original Flathead in my '41 Ford Coupe. It runs and starts great, but burns oil to the point that I either need...
