Thanks Scarebird. I had forgotten about the disc rim issue. That might have saved me a lot of hassle. I'll have to take off a wheel and see...
That's a lot of great info. Thanks. Seems like y'all are implying that even the small disc brakes will be an improvement over the drums. Sounds...
I'm running 14" steelies on my 60 Impala. I'd like to improve the stock 4-wheel drum brakes (believe it or not) with front discs. What are the...
Yeah, more info is in order. It's got a stock intake with a rebuilt quadrajet (that never gets the secondaries opened). 3.08 gears in the rear....
I've got a new (1500 miles) GM crate 350 in my 1960 Impala 2-door (and a 20 yr old 350 trans). It's the 190 horsepower version which may be a bit...
Someone, somewhere, on the HAMB suggested using Scrubbing Bubbles to freshen up the SEM Hot Rod Black...he was right! I had stains in my paint...
Some bikers say the two finger represents two cylinders or that it comes from the V shape of a Harley "V twin". Non-American bikes mostly had...
Anyone ever figure out how to solve this problem? I'm working on the same issue on my 60 Impala.
"What you need is a metric screwdriver."
I thought the HAMB would always be a nice place to post where you find like-minded people who like to help. WTF? Some of the posts on this...
If you find that your gauges need work I can highly suggest a fellow HAMBer...Morris Gauge in Portland. They are easy to find online. The price...
Some of my favorite things: skateboards, old city-life pictures, cool cars, and wiping out with friends.
What's next after a Riddler car with the mini car next to it? One of those wierd dolls with his head under the hood? Oh, the negativity...but...
I believe those are old Rockets. You can tell by the peak along the top of each spoke. I haven't seen a Cragar with that feature but maybe...
This is the model of Tom Daniel's Vette. TD was the designer of countless cool Revell models. Revell made a model of his real car. As a kid, I...
my daily driver...before and after!
Hi- Glad to hear you're working on 60 Impala. I hope the before and after of my are some inspiration for you. Feel free to contact me with any...
Here's my favorite mild custom...my 60 Impala. Pretty much all done in the driveway!
I've got chrome steelies on mine...check it out.
done did it in the driveway...now I'm daily drive'n it. [IMG][/IMG] [IMG]
I hate to be a hater, but I hate fake patina. I'd rather everybody did ZZ-Top paint job. It's soooo un-HAMB, I can't believe anyone on here even...
Thanks for all the advice. since there have been many requests, I'll start a thread when it is time to start selling so I can post pictures....
Wow, I love the maybe-you're-not-the-man-for-the-job comment. That's some bad mojo. Anyhow, yeah, I restored a rusted out 60 Impala in my...
Maaaaan, that's a lot of good advice for me...especially about the fire extinguisher! One guy was right...I'm not talking about driving them home...
Wow...lot's of comments. I am motivated to get the best price because it's my job and I'm being trusted with it. I will try to negociate a...
On my wheel, I used rattle can primer and good rattle can paint mixed by the auto paint store. Clean sanded surface. It looks really great but...
That's funny....BEFORE you break it. Should I put oil in normally or would it be good to remove the valve covers and pour it on like chocolate...
Most of what I'm asking about here are post '64 cars, but I think I'm good with this post because this is a pretty cool project I have that I...
I painted a car with rattle cans (semi-flat black on a 59 Chevy). My observations: -the flatter the paint, the easier it is to hide the lines of...
To the guy who got a funny look for calling a car "Dago'd"...has anyone pointed out that dago is a very derogatory word for Italian? I'd steer...
