Been fighting killer pain for 7 months. It's hell to get older. Two x-rays, an ultrasound of my carotid, and an MRI later, they tell me my tore up...
It's just a multi layer enamel, a bit of flattening agent, sanding, texturing, and rubbing with talc among other things. Actually more work than...
Sadly, no. I have been busy with so much other stuff it got sat in the corner for a while and hasn't been touched in a while. Between throwing...
I gave Merle a hard time about his bare metal Model A roadster pick up. He told me they gave him the paint to do the 55, so he was going to wait...
I am kind of partial to the new but weathered look. [ATTACH]
I am with ya on the glossy clear over patina thing. I dig the driver look and satin with a bit of realistic patina makes for less stress when...
Mercury had the Borg & Beck pattern, Ford used three groups of two holes each. Some people adapt an 80s Camaro pressure plate as the Mercury's are...
You need the small intermediate bell housing type not the full bellhousing that some cars had. And you need the starter plate that matches the...
These tires are over 100 pounds apiece. Definitely not anything you could drive on.
I think the switch I had was only a 4 or 5 wire. There was something weird that the usual wire diagram wouldn't work
How many wires come out of this switch? I had to use a trailer adapter on a model A that was using 37 taillights so both didn't blink when using...
Agree with the bobbed rear or tail pan to reduce the weird overhang created by eliminating the bumpers. [ATTACH]
Strange question, why did they black out the Engineering part of the sign?
I have had the good fortune to be around a few of these GT 40 road cars. They are just pure highway fury even sitting still. They sound mean and...
I had Zoom gears in the 8.2 in my 68 Camaro back in the 90s. Went through the set up process 3 times before giving up and listening to the gear...
Curve is still there. I just laid the frame rails out and cut the crossmembers to fit the width of the body.
Shortened the rails 9" and kicked them up with a wedge cut of about an inch between the body mount bolts in the curve. It left the rear of the...
Just be sure you thread something on the end of the axle. If you apply a bunch of force to remove the hub, the cotter keyhole distorts, or the...
[IMG] I had one of the these but loaned it out never to return. I bought the KR Wilson reproduction one and am glad my old one never returned. Way...
I will have to take a closer look at it next week. Maybe try it on for size. I am really interested to see it in person. A lot of these were built...

Looks like he posts pics with several different back grounds, no consistency. Map shows him as being in Chicago, says California, some ads say...
https://www.fastlanerodshop.com/becker/topchop.htm it is indeed chopped. The Phil Becker 3 window built by Fast Lane.
The perfect chop. The 3/4" is so subtle it just looks better yet not in your face. This car is full of subtle tricks.
Make sure Andy keeps it out of the cornfield this time...
I looked, but I don't remember. I was too busy with other things when I was around it. It did drive nice though.
The guy who built it was a big time mountain motor pro stock racer from Oklahoma. The Lenco was just laying around so... The front clip was in the...
Had the discs on it at the Mecum Glendale 2024 sale when I saw it last. It bid to 45,000 and didn't sell
