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
This is not helping me find another color scheme for my project other than silver with blue plaid...
Tissue paper works good. Forms to the shape with folds or cuts and shows where your stretch/shrink needs to occur. Add that with knowing the...

Just wanting to throw things at the love/haTe special as I work through it's issues. At least it's on the road I guess. [ATTACH]
Next weekend. June 6-7
But the question that comes to my mind is, Who in their right mind would want to scratch build a T body? You may need a bigger garage soon the way...
Bought a 37 chevy sedan body for $2 on the E site and drove 5 hours each way to pick it up.
Stopped by on my way through to say hi to a couple early arrivals. The show doesn't actually start until today at noon.

Bring it all. Cash saves 4%, a business tax # another 5.5%
I am heading up in the AM. Leaving about 6 probably heading to Torquefest and will probably know somebody from the Milwaukee area to get it to you.
Still waiting on the word from the boss who threatened ass whoopins if ya bid against him...
These were the two pictures that intrigued me. Not sure what will be salvageable, but I guess I will find out. [IMG][IMG]
I wasn't even looking for another project as I already have way too many. But...
So will a flathead Ford powered Mercedes be traditional if it is based on a 1954 F1 car, or will it be an OT thing? Anyhow, I need to sell a...
I didn't think it would go that cheap, so I pulled the trigger on the Mercedes W196R streamliner inspired car with the body molds. It looks like...
Yes, the dollar amounts disappear even on things you bidding on.,and to Snoc653, I am driving up from the very south east corner of Iowa. Looks...
Banshee still waiting but looks stalled at 5209.28. I did have to call and tell my wife I am taking a trip to Wisconsin in the next couple of days...
It will be interesting to see what it all brings. I am sure my pockets aren't deep enough, but I may have to take a stab at a few things.
Since this is a traditional forum, I would think this is what would be the period correct way to order from somewhere far away. And track a...
Turbo LS Vega Wagon?
We were debating if the spots were a pattern or spots that got bleached out with mold removal maybe. It was so inconsistent, so we didn't think it...
