Ah, you boys think you've got it rough. Heck, I'm running out of friends with driveways. Where the hell am I gonna hide all these cars and trucks...
I don't know...that seems like a lot of fanfare at the start. In Texas it just sounds like this: "Hey Bubba, I got an idea. Hold my beer for a...
It was a used Holley 3310, along with a cast iron stocker 4 barrel manifold to replace the 2 barrel setup on my 289 Ford.
Wow! Maybe I'm partial, as a fellow Texan, but I think you should get the "Most improved" award. That place turned out really neat. Wanna share...
Keep in mind, if you end up doing front end work anyway, that the Granada spindle/disc swap should work on that car if you want it. It also lowers...
The sprites will probably be tougher. The bigger Healeys had more engine bay room. I would try the Buick/Rover aluminum v8 as a starting point to...
The 250TRs are my absolute favourite machines in the entire world. I would trade my left leg for one and somehow learn to clutch with my right...
Y'all ever see Bullitt? Well, that movie lied. I can vouch for the fact that a Mustang can fly, they just don't land worth a damn. Ah, high...
LOL Yeah, he sounds like a real genius. Let's see, disassemble the rear end, to no real benefit, in the middle of nowhere or call AAA. Hmmm, that...
I tried a Marine wiper motor but all it would do was charge up beaches and scare the locals half to death.
I've had good luck shipping motorcycle frames with them. As someone else said, just wrap it in cardboard/foam and protect anything sticking out in...
Ain't it the truth? lol I hope I finally decide on thinking I'm the handsome fellow from here on out, whether it's true or not. ;)
LOL! That was gonna be my question. This means I've got less than ten years until I fall hopelessly into the plus sign, never to be heard from...
Very nice post, Gigantor. Thanks for reminding us to take that bit of extra time when we can and not always think, "Ah, I'll catch up next time."...
If it makes it's way anywhere near Texas, he can get rid of it in my garage. :)
Wait, it had a new looking gasket? If you haven't had the car a long time I'd say someone sold you one with a warped head from a past overheat....
LOL Nice one, KJ88!
Gawd, every time I get a ticket it's for expired inspection. Down in south Texas it used to be that as long as you passed a decent safety...
Wow! CF and Doc...you guys are something else. This place never fails to impress me.
Man, that's neat that your wife is so excited about the project and you're working on it together! People need to do more stuff like that. Plus...
Not knocking your choice by any means but if I was already thinking that I had to paint a car and put new wheels and tires on it, I sure wouldn't...
btt for some night time lid lovin'.
"What the hell did you guys do to me ???" Oh...um...sorry man. I must have been sleep walking and thought you were my wife. Yeah, that must have...
I will third the bench bleeding idea. You may have done this a thousand times already. If so, sorry for the repeat. But if you haven't, remove the...
I second that! Man, that's a wicked roof on a fantastic car. I love the scallops.
Cool, another Houstonian! Man, I'll bet you've got some good stories from the dragstrip days.
Hey, that's a slick lid! Thanks for posting.
I'm way down near the Texas coast so I think I'm out of the way to try to help haul but I get paid on Friday and if one of you Vagabonds has a...
Hey all, Does anyone have some pics (yours, others, photochop, whatever) that show any shade of red flake roof on a dark body colour? I'd love...
Fab32's got the good advice. Right now all I see are guys trying to get the inflated prices they've been paying for cars back out of them before...
