What the heck is going on? Cars that are scrap that need $20,000 to get them going and half-way finished? Am I lost in the 60's, or do people...
A friend of mine had an AC, and I think out of the twenty's or thirties. Not an AC cobra, but an AC car. They made cars way before the sports...
Any Bristol is a rare car, as they only make about 40 a year, and they still hand make them. Very expensive. English, made by people who make...
Bone simple. I took my handle off for painting, and just a flat bladed screwdrive in the slot in there and just turn to the right (clockwise) and...
Most of you youngsters know nothing about carbs. No offense, but I use these carbs on just about everything we own. It is the old (gets hot-boils...
56 Imperial had bombsight taillights like the 55 only up on small fins. Two years only on this body. It is a 4 door, but so what? Make on heck...
Yes, they are for Chrysler and Imperial in those years. I have a set on my 51 Imperial.
This is a workhorse engine, and they can be built, but a 360 will cost the same to build, and there are lots of them around. Pistons mainly and...
I know this is a sore spot to a lot of us, and to see cars that we show interest in that never make it to Barrett Jackson or Kruse priced out of...
Let me pile on. After thinning the herd from 35 down to about 7 or 8 (this week), I do have one son who is a car nut, and he likes what I like,...
Yeah, S-10's and I think the lowly Ford Rangers used an hydraulic TOB.
What sticks in my mind was the 1954 Jaguar XK-120 that me and a friend shoved a early hemi in the front by cutting out the wheelwells. We adapted...
I agree. That Healy is worth a ton, and all that junk could come off fast if it was in my garage. Way to valuable to trash out. God, what do...
The guys are right. It will work fine, so long as you don't abuse it. I had a big problem too, I thought. My old Chrysler was positive ground,...
I have looked in the searches, and no specific stuff on this. I have a 51 hemi in my old Imperial. I tried turning it over today, and wallah, it...
Did you ever get that old Chrysler? Do you still have the body? thanks.ron
I am in the same boat, and my huge bumpers on my 1951 Imperial will give two men hernias to pick them up. The BumperBoys had both on hand, and...
Wow! I just saw myself! But, I have an out, an excuse. You see, my son is a car nut, and he is so possessive of MY stuff that he thinks it is...
Those massive heads make a lot of people take a second look, and I have had my share of these monsters. My big swap was a 33l in a 54 Jag XK-120....
Welcome from Hopkinsville, Kentucky. This is a great bunch of guys and a very useful site, so stick around, ask anything,and somebody knows or...
Depends,( not the diapers), if you are into British or foreign cars in general, the prices will make a grown man cry. The dual quad manifolds off...
HEy, I had an early hemi in a 54 Jag XK-120,and got tired of the 6 volt compromise. Went to 12 volts, and that 6 volt starter must have doubled...
OK, someone has to know! I tried to use the starter on this old dog, and got nothing, not even a click. Instead of rebuiding this old growler,...
