Check out a 34 Pontiac.
Besides old Fords, I'm a Chevelle and early Corvette nut too. I don't hang out on any of those forums near as much as I do here, but I've heard...
I'd guess more coupes, both 5w & 3w, are now chopped than remain uncut. I like them both ways. But I probably wouldn't chop one today.
I hope someone comes up with old pictures of it. Makes ya wonder if the rest of the car was as wild as the paint.
Hey, me too! Tell me where it's at and how to get ahold of the owner so we can see if it's the same one.
That is funky. I wonder what's on the doors. You may end up with a decision on leave it or cover it up.
So did you buy some from the local guy or did you get them from somewhere online?
Pair of 1932 Ford anti-chatter rods. Threads are worn but should still hold. These are 4 cyl but can be easily modified for V8 by cutting ends...
I am not a metallurgist so I can't comment on what happens to 60 year old magnesium. My personal experience is running 2 different cars with...
Everything, old and new, has it's risks. Are new aluminum wheels cast in China or India safer than 60 year old magnesium? Maybe. Maybe not.
I like that tool. I'll have to get one. Thanks for sharing how you use it.
I guess my -18 degree F drive into work this morning would be considered balmy to my brothers up North.
Here's the Spring 2026 flyer: [ATTACH]
Another cool car for Bob! I've always liked those. A friend's Dad had a door slammer with a 440 in it that they raced at Cedar Falls and...
That is really cool. Considering how they honored the building's past, I'm sure they would love to hear from you.

Tell them you buy all your supplies from McMaster Carr
Yes, the last US cent was minted last month. It recently sold at auction along with a gold minted cent and the last cent from the other mint for...
I saved a 50 Chevy 5w PU, a 63 Chevy wagon, and a 63 Impala SS from being crushed. They were literally 1 day from being smooched when my son, one...
That is pretty cool. It has a 180 degrees different attitude than your old white coupe.
Here's the auction picture from where he got it: [IMG]
Hey, it's only a 45 minute drive. You should be home by now. Stop watching The View and post some pics.
Congrats on pulling off the freeway and hitting the 2 lane blacktop! You've certainly had some interesting cars over the years. It'll be fun to...
When I built my 32 specific frame jig I took measurements from 3 different original frames and compared them to both the Wescott and Cruisin...
You got a nice one there. Congrats!
I'd be ok with a year cutoff date of 1975. That's still a 50 year old vehicle and fits the spirit of the off topic discussion section.
I wouldn't be surprised if Mark has a Bonanza snowmobile and minibike in his collection too.
What do you think should be done with it? Crush it so it no longer exists? I'm pretty sure Anthony has a good idea of what it'd cost to make...
Well, since this has turned into mostly a Lemans thread I'll try to tie it back into old Corvettes. Here's the Lemans fronts that are patiently...
A few years ago I had a big tree come down in a wind storm. Put the old 32 BB to work hauling stuff to my burn pile. [ATTACH]
