I thought it would be a good project to convert my 1929 A roadster to V8 with a newer synchro trans and having never done this before I purchased the Old Yankee AV8 conversion kit from Millworks. The kit is top quality and very complete. As I progressed following the included instructions it...

This might be my third build thread if I document what I’m doing. I bought a 29 Murry body fordor from my pops and I am going to build a phantom woodie by using the cowl fenders and running boards. Last year when I traveled out to the GNRS I bought a bare boxed frame from Brookville. I’ve...

I posted a few pics on my roadster thread and it was suggested I create a separate thread for this car. I didn't plan on buying anything because I just bought a stock 31 5 window but when I saw this at GNRS I had to have it. The story is told in the 2008 Hop up. The old photos aren't the best...

For all of you that offered suggestions and encouragement on my post about the big move to middle 10-UH-C, THANK YOU!

I’m pleased to report that progress is...

I have a vibration that Ive not yet figured out on my 1962 Mercury Monterey. It becomes intrusive at 85mph but is noticeable at about 75mph. It’s speed not rpm related and it’s driveline not front end, as if I run it on axle stands it’s still exactly the same as on the road. Here is the bit I...

"They're never done" truer words were never spoken and they apply to the 41 pickup. Earlier this winter I got to work on the rear springs, and they are holding after adding longer shackles in back. I won't know for sure until it is driven and I am on the DL still. The transmission pan bore...

I for one am looking forward to a better year, most of you guys know about me wrecking Brenda's Ranch Wagon in October 2024, I had a heart attack earlier and the doctor told me not to be driving for a few more months. I'm hard headed and didn't listen.

In 2025 I had some additional health...

SALE PENDING

Yes its a glass body. If your still interested please keep reading. Trade's I would consider would be for something older than 1972 and in excellent running condition. Patina paint okay. Looking for a clean driver preferably a truck. Would most likely need to be near me for me to...

It's been said that the old black and white photos had more depth to them, and since I've never seen a dedicated thread for them let's have a thread for black and white photos only.

Is it Tech Week? The old timers will know what I'm talking about.

I decided to throw together a tech post like in the days of olde and hope this will be of use for some of you out there.

I just got done with a 37-39 Ford steering box rebuild and tried to document most of the steps.

As you...

I know we all have different ideas of what we enjoy about this hobby. But, whether we like the build, showing off what we built when we are done, or driving the wheels off of this old stuff, it seems that just the nature of the hobby is that these cars are meant to be driven in some sense? I...

My Grandfather with his Dodge Coupe with a tow rig in the trunk that he used in his Business, Fred Ballew Auto Repair 428 E. Pine Street, Stockton California. 1916 to 1968. (The dog's name was "Tim").

I had to change the starter on my mother’s care givers OT car, yesterday, at the salvage shop, I work at! I grabbed some tools out of the big box and one them was a...

the rant. Don't come expecting a free meal ticket when you have running vintage car and your son apparently has 7 cars. And you are near 70+. Just Drive your old car, borrow...

I bought new champion plugs on Amazon. I was working on the car and figured why not. They’ll be here next morning. Never again.
Anyway…..I’ve been dialing in my flathead (timing and carbs) and wanted to drop in new plugs. Car won’t run. Won’t idle. Won’t respond to gas pedal. Pulled my hair...

Howza Bruthas-

Recently, All American Classics was asked to do property clean up and low and behold this was unearthed there.

This old Plymouth coupe has B/Gas 335 on the doors. Check out that Ford V8-60 tube axle up front and the homemade ladder bars! A big tach on the dash, original gauge...

Has anyone had any experience with Super Bell axles breaking? I had an incident yesterday with a very light impact to the right front wheel of my 32 ford which resulted in the axle breaking in two! I would have expected it to possibly bend but not break. It is on traditional hairpins with a...

Figured someone else would start a thread for the best looking of the tri 5s.
Watson seems to dig em
