Lets document the history of the custom car into the early days of lowriders... Most would agree this transition took place between the 60's to the 70's. During the 1960's we started to see many custom vehicles with less radical modifications, and focus more on wild paint, cool wheels, heavily...

Hi all, I watch the online ads a bit, does it seem like the prices are moving downward?
Or is it still high for the popular and just going down for the rest?

Hey guys, I've not been on here in a while but I'm having an issue with the clutch on my 32 3 window.
I have an 8BA, Fidanza aluminum flywheel, pressure plate (diaphragm type) and disc from Speedway (listed as FOR flathead Ford), FTE hydraulic throw out bearing that came with the Keisler (now...

My user name for the Hamb came easy.

My story starts back in the early 70's, our rag tag car club went to the North Atlanta Street Rods show/rod run at Stone Mountain Park in Atlanta, Georgia and it was the first trip I made in my 1930 model A pickup.

You could smell the the fresh primer from...

1935 Ford 1/2 Ton. Appears to been an old hot rod at some point. No motor, no transmission, no title. Has a radiator.

I've been working on this 1929 Model A truck for 51 years and counting and have finally come to the point of starting up the engine, a 351 Windsor that I decided to retain the Duraspark II ignition. It is among the last things electrical that I've tackled, but I've spent the last nine months...

Just wondering how many of the old guys are still here from the early days?

I'm building a 31 Model A roadster that will have a 383 sbc stroker. I am looking for some headers that are not the usual lakester, block hugger or zoomie exhaust. I would like to find something that is unique. I would welcome any suggestions you might have. Thanks in advance.

Wenesday I backed the old sedan out of the shop after checking the air in the tires checking the oil and making sure every thing was in working order, I drove the car to Brenda's shop and took her to lunch for her Birthday,.

Stopped for gas on the way home and I was confident everything was...

This is it. I'm registered to go to the Duct Tape Drags next weekend in Tucson with the 57. I've been working the last two weeks to get ready. I installed a set of safety harnesses, dual return springs on the carb, battery hold down, hooked up the line lock, overflow can, gathered up my helmet,...

I guess you could call this event coverage. We were heading to an event.


BJ Mayberry and I were headed to a gathering of Ford trucks in eastern Kentucky today. b-t-w; I think that all the trucks...

Okay.
Now that i FINALLY have some progress to show and the time and space to be able to work on my first build i wanted to get a thread going to document my progress.

I wrote my introduction post almost 3 years ago, and really thought i was going to hit the ground running but since then every...

First Brands Group, the makers of Fram filters and Autolite spark plugs has filed for bankruptcy. And those aren't all of the major brands affected; the list also includes Raybestos, Centric, Carter and Airtex to name the better-known brands. There is multiple lesser-known brands also. Details...

I posted recently regarding the hunt for a 53 or 54 Chopped Chevy but it's been hard to find anything I like (I'm picky especially with the rear window!). I've had a chopped Ford shoebox in the past and a chopped 53' Chevy but it was a 4 door. I don't want another shoebox so its either a 53/54...

Well, I still haven't finished the 265 I want to build for my car but I couldn't pass up finding this over the weekend. A legit, standard bore 57 265. Now I have one of each:55,56 and 57. 55 and 56's are much easier to find but I will try and grab all of these up that I can find when they cross...

Started with a dry Texas car that had an amateur restoration in the early 80s. Installed a fully rebuilt 1967 283 hooked up to the original non od trans with a wilcap adapter and a diaphragm clutch - car is effortless to drive with a very light clutch pedal. Also installed a '56 3.22 center...
