This is a brand new Real Deal Steel '57 Chevy convertible body still in the crate. Includes an original '57 rolling frame and chassis, donor...
Yeah it looks like if your still interested in making a set of these for my altered I'll have you do it. When I put the car away for the season...
We just updated our web site and have added a Face Book page for those of you who want to see some of the stuff we're working on.
just wondering if you still had the '63 doors. Thanks
Here's a picture of my '29 Pontiac 3-window. Just finished last month.
We're putting together a rusty old '61 Pontiac Bubbletop for some drag strip use and decided to use a later 455 with ram air IV heads instead of...
Inerested in the '52 Chevy. Could I see some pics?? Where are you located?
Excellent! Now if I can just survive the racing season this year up to that point without any major breakage.
HYDE SPECIALTY AUTO BODY AND RESTORATION- We perform anything from full turn key rotisserie restorations to any small aspect of a restoration...
What about my bantam bodied vintage altered?
It really depends on the track. Some are more liberal that others. My car has all the basic safety equipment needed and so far the tracks I've ran...
Yep, my '64 Chevelle. I've had it since 1984. It was a $350.00 piece of crap. I was still in high school at the time. It's been painted three...
posting some more pics. Like I said the Catalina is really rusty so a lot of the sheetmetal needs repalcement. Picked up a set of VFN fenders off...
Nope not a phantom just not very pretty to look at I guess which is why I never posted a pic. It's a Catalina. Really rusty but runs. The short...
I'd stay 383.
For me it would be Lapeer International Dragway in Lapeer Michigan. It was founded in 1968, still belongs to the original owner and still runs...
We use the cheap HVLP guns with the platic cup mounted on top for primers. Epoxy primers are hard on guns and when they start to screw up we throw...
I'd just bite the bullet and swap out the case or the trans. I've got one from a '62 Nova if your interested.
I decided to swap out the whole driveline with a 1973 455 and TH400.
We have some GM voltage regulators out of some early Chevy's that came equipped with generators. In this case we're not worried so much about...
We're converting a model A to 12 volt but this time we're using a 12V generator instead of going to an alternator. What is the best way to install...
It's nice to see there are actually a few out there running. The most I've ever seen show up at my local track was three including myself. I've...
Yep I switched to the Hilborn and am also still tuning it. It was a vintage 2 1/8" unit with the old style 90 degree nozzles that I found NOS on...
I want to update the hoop on the cage over the winter. The one that's on there now is not deep enough and needs to be raised about 2". I'll...
yeah I agree on the track liability being a concern and most likely the reason for hassles against older race cars meeting modern standards. I've...
I had to make several small changes since I posted on the car last. I had to replace the 2 gallon fuel tank with a 3.5 gallon tank since on alky...
The brakes actually are working quite well. I'd really like to keep the set up on the car since it still has a lot of the vintage parts from the...
Yes, "barn finds" are still out there. We continue to see them come into our shop. I have always thought that eventually they will dry up but...
I really appreciate the fact you kept the oval back window. We ended up going to a Speedway "mail slot" window when we did the radical chop on...
Does anyone know where to find rotors for an Airheart disc brake set up for Olds/Pontiac rear end?? My rotors need replacing soon.
