Pretty heavy, those suckers go 16oz to the pound:eek: Once again, I just can't help myself;)
Precious isn't a term just for softys, that pic of your Dad proves it. While none of these cars would be within my means I've become more and...
It is quite pretty, something a lot of racers are not. I think car's older sister was hotter by far [ATTACH] [ATTACH] I tend to "follow the crowd"...
Put a Holley carb jet in the gas line. A big one, like in the 90s. It might even screw into the filter nipple for added peace of mind. Obviously...
Facts incoming; Clear lacquer requires several coats so sanding and buffing can be done. The solvent in any material is mainly to get the...
Just about anything can go over lacquer. Lacquer won't really go over anything except itself. In the early base/clear days the bases were lacquers...
This is all worthless chin music if we don't know the car, switch, dimmer, etc...
Well, the Cord phaeton you posted is as close to Cigarette Cream as you'll find. The other Cord is the yellow tone, and there's another even more...
I think it's a max loss. Maybe loss isn't even the right term. It takes X amount of power to turn that trans at max effort. And really, if ya...
I'll go on record to say that generally speaking the majority of car folks are the best we ever encounter. Nothing else matters, it's the cars...
I've never been more than a scrub nurse for a trans rebuild. There's a part in the clutch pack area that's really easy to put in the wrong way, as...
I don't think there's a tougher more reliable auto than the 400. Want more? 34 element sprag, bearings vs bushings, all of which may just be ¾-1...
Since I was a kid, taking the ad banners off the fences was a thing at the end of a big drag race. They were tied on with rope, pull your pocket...
Karma? Again? It's time since I haven't said it in a while. Karma is a cop out. It's lazy. Karma is over the top of your bathroom sink looking at...
I hope this doesn't go too long, but this is a mistake to remain silent. It's not brave or "...bigger man..." in any way. I've been fucked over a...
I'm not impressed. Well, now that the Whiskey Tango Foxtrot has waned its because you bloody well deserve it:cool: Good for you brutha!
I've always felt the Li'l Coffin was among the top 5 32s ever. Mostly the absolute balls it took to see it thru and come out right.
Ok, real answer now. One look into the U-joint should tell you how deep the splines went in and how much in/out travel was normal. It is a slip...
I'm not familiar with the shaft exposure of others. I know where I want mine to be, and which lube works best, but for others I'd have to say do...
A reverse open scoop would look much better vs a big pimpleo_O The cutouts look like being in the group of groomsmen with yer fly open.
Once you get those Porsche points fazed in it's...:)
Bada-Bing. I always thought they were the same except the studs.
Other than us few anal detail freaks who cling to things, will anyone notice they're 15s without reading the tire? Not to mention, price a 14"...
Count your wins. If it was a 60s Ford the gear selector takes a shit too. Probably woulda fallen into reverse on its own by now:eek:
Lincoln Capri. Not sure of year tho.
I'm not a fan. Around here some the old rod guys call those big door or long door coupes. Short door for the pretty ones. Those ain't, sorry. The...
I'm a little past rountoit. I'm inching closer to "Get the fucker done."o_O
In a new installment (literally) the peep mirror topic made me say, "Oh shit, I gotta hang the mirrors before I finish all the windows and...
I've had a few clients over the years who want their side mount spare mirrors always 90 deg from the rest of the car, facing straight back. One of...
Nobody just does a simple big n little rubber rake any more? I don't mean to tell the whole crowd you got a corn kernel on your lip. Simple n...
