I have a lot of stuff that I will have to scrap unless I can find a home. Not getting much action in the original section so trying here one last...
So…. Nobody is interested in a bunch of old Ford shit? Is this the state of the hobby? OK, to the scrapyard it goes!
[ATTACH] [ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH] I have a bunch of random stuff that my dad accumulated from the 1950s that I need to find a home for. It’s...
Yep. That one BBC with a dual plane looks a bit out of place, doesn’t it?
I recently shot some ancient lacquer on a fiberglass mold just as surface to sand smooth. Used to shoot gallons of the stuff but it’s been...
The “better” part of that is the fact that the heads on the traditional SBC flat out SUCK compared to even the worst LS. The basic architecture...
To those traditionalists - if junkyard 5.3 LS engines were available in 1955, EVERY backyard rodder would run them. This forum pays homage to the...
I’m trying to stuff a 67-72 GM A body rear end under my 63 Catalina. (Long story). Fabricating new control arms and spring perches to make it...
67 GTO tail lights?
Looks as solid as the 63 I pulled from a yard in the Mojave desert a few years ago. ZERO rust, and the factory overspray on the floor under the...
Wait - let me get this straight…. You purchased a 1974 Granada on purpose?
Have not read the entire thread but in California an old car with no tittle is no issue. Creating a new title is a fairly simple DMV and CHP...
It is done.... [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I know the heading of this thread is “…no explanation…”, but can someone explain something to me: Flagmen at a drag race…. I understand street...
Trying not to be a smartass here, but have you ever lived with a heavy car that is also equipped with a high RPM engine? It’s been my experience...
OK. Upon closer study, I think you’re correct. At anything other than careful study though, that long pipe looking thing in the display window...
“Buddy Beavers” and “Sally Rocker”… you can’t make this stuff up!
not sure, but that phallic instrument in his hand may have something to do with her apparent demeanor.
Car is SOLD.

BIG response to the for sale ad. One potential buyer didn't like some things so thought I'd throw a few more pictures up to better represent the...
After significant reflection and no shortage of anguish, this car is for sale. Time to face reality and pass it on to those more passionate about...
Was born a roadster…. And a Banger.
This thing is flat out mean looking. Badass.
Never realized how rare it is to see a “street”traditional rod in a burnout picture. Need more of that!
I suspect the C5 would shortly become a replacement workbench.
Guess I never thought too much about this, but always wondered why I had 2 grille shells with the car. The first one is a corn yellow color and...
Hi Jeff. The pictures were taken in and around Thief River Falls from 1950-53. As a rod, it had a very short lifespan before it was...
I hear you brother, but “time management” is not my problem…. “Time” is. Last year I was working 14 - 16 hours per day and getting 1 or 2 days...
agreed. Just an example of the “stuff” I have acquired. Appreciate the ID!
