The big event is coming up soon, October 8 through the 10th. Who plans to go? Do you have any advice on lodging things to do BS whatever? This is a big deal and I did not see a thread on it. I will be there one way or another. I want to take my 49 Ford, but I just haven’t had enough time to...

You''d think after 81 years I'd learn not to trust people. Bought this 32 project roadster off a HAMB ad earlier this year. I thought it was a good buy and the buyer emphasized it included a numbers matching 32 title. I paid cash ($15K) and brought everything back to Nebraska. To date the HAMB...

I’ve wanted to put together a thread on my ‘29 Roadster that I built for Bonneville for a while, but there is so much detail that it’s been something that seemed really daunting to me.

So rather than put together a build thread that goes into extreme detail, I thought I would instead put...

There’s been some strange weather around here lately, and I already tried explaining it once. Wrote a long, painfully honest post about traffic, advertising, and the general economic bloodbath happening outside these walls. Some of you found it. Then people started sending me money. PayPal....

I have always envisioned using one of these vintage oil? drums as the fuel tank on my speedster build. Bought this one years ago at a swap meet. I think it even came with a steel stand.
Was planning on cutting one of the ends caps off with a grinder, but then noticed there are some small rust...

Although, I've owned this 56 Bel Air for 32 years, I only got started building it last June. Before that it was in the parts collecting phase.

Anyway, here's the car's history. At least as much of it that I know. It's history prior to 1980 is basically unknown, although a small part is an...

Is it the same as with cars ? So the seller can tell the missus the ad is up but interest is low .
This is not a rant because what i am about to show involves two Model A Ford headlights, nothing special at all. Except they're not even model A but a local antique store selling them...

Modifying a Survivor: Are They Really Off Limits?

I've been there. I am sure most of you have been there. we like antiquated technology its going to happen. The unfortunate part for me is that I live in a modern world with these wonderful modern "conveniences" and as much as my 26 year old self would enjoy living my life like its the age before...

Afternoon
I am needing an SBC water pump riser. It appears that Zip made them, and a company called Snow White. (No word on the seven dwarfs) Apparently the Zip product was bought by Vintage Air. Now Vintage Air says they are no longer available.

Any ideas? I tried eBay.

Thanks

Hot Rodding a Rare Car

As I cruise the HAMB, Ford Barn, Hemming's and other sites selling older cars there is a definite trend toward much lower prices. I've been doing the old car deal since 1962 and have endured the price ups and downs of especially the hot rod world. Usually it lasts a little while and prices...

Well , I’m always looking at old cars when I’m out trucking around .

nice clean car , but I got the 56 so I don’t need another car.or so I tell myself !

this summer car is parked on the...

I always wanted one, and had been keeping tabs on this one for a year, so I finally put on my big boy pants and bought it. Originally from Colorado, so just surface rust underneath and (so, so much) dirt in every nook and cranny. Sold overall with soft front L&R front floorpans and some obvious...
