Great find, check out the 67-72.com truck website. Lots of great info and cool builds on there. I have a 63 and love it.
That thumbs up didn't show up where I thought it would. That's supposed to be after the last sentence, not up top. Sorry guys :o
I think we've all been guilty of running something under the radar a time or two, but in the interest of safety ( ours included ) we should have...
Open mouth insert foot guys, I was wrong. Works for front calipers only. Glad you chimed in!
Open the bleeder valve on the caliper and push the piston back into the caliper with a large screwdriver. Leave it bolted to the housing makes...
Tight enough so that you can no longer grab the distributor cap and turn it by hand. Oil leaks can be a pain, don't give up. At least it isn't...
You can see the remains of the hugger orange on the 57 in my avatar. (What I haven't razor blade scraped off yet.) Painted it that color back in...

If your low spots are not extreme, you can always prime the area, and use a coat of Final Fill (or similar) to finish it out. Final Fill is the...
White Lightnin' is what I have always used. It is acid based, but it works great. Your local Car Quest should have it.
Found my 63 chevrolet truck on craigslist. Guy had listed in a local area, but truck was up in Winder around Atlanta. Thats about 5 hours from...
Thanks for the replies guys. This is for my 63 chevy truck. I bought it up in Winder Georgia about two months ago. No pics worth posting yet....
Wow, 41 looks and no reply, guess i,m on my own on this one. Just never liked painted headers, and dont have the dough for coated. My rams horn...
I did a search on using Ospho on headers, and found that it can be used, but most everyone seems to paint them afterwards. I am thinking about...
I have run Comp Cams for years and have had great luck with them. I currently am running a 292/501 cam and it sounds great and makes easy 400+ hp...
I am assuming that the engine does not have a miss or anything. So if the clip is all that popped out and the pushrod is still in place on the...
pull it off once the paint is set, otherwise the edge can roll. Also, use 3m Fine Line tape so you don't get edge bleed and when you pull it off,...
Years ago I decided that I wanted a gear drive. I put the thing in and buttoned the front back up and realized I was 180 out. Two tries later...
Take the solenoid off of the starter and manually engage it into the flywheel. It should engage easliy without hitting. If it doesn't, do as...
Definitely if the synchros are bad. My 57 had a three speed that needed it to shift, and it also would pop out of third. My O/T daily is a 95 2...
Man, my prayers are with you and your family, I know he will be looking down on you with pride while you and your son work on the new rod.
Sweet looking ride. Looks much better without the red wheels.
We did a fastback Mustang for a guy back in the 90's that did his own quarter repair work and wanted us just to spray the car. He was so proud of...
Looks like an old ACCEL, I have a tach drive early model electronic packed up somewhere....
Man, you can polish turds! Well, at least it's getting the treatment it deserves. Some people, you know the guy that did it probably thought he...
350 Buick by looks alone, have one just like it in a 72 skylark. If it runs good, leave it. Plenty of power and it makes people wonder what it is.
Also check out this link. They have tons of useful info. Chris http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/forumdisplay.php?f=6
I just bought a 63 and found a ton of info on site. Unfortunately for you the 62 is the torsion bar front end. It rides great, and is easy to...
Found it doing a search on nailhead buicks. My dad raced back in the 60's using only nailheads in St. Pete (where we are originally from)....
Your better off saving for better quality paint. The cheaper stuff is cheaper for a reason. It usually will not hold up in sunlight (even the...
