Rocket? I'm not sure. Perhaps knowing the wheel hole diameter vs the Rocket caps will help you. You can buy just center caps, etc off the Radir...
If you visit the Radir website, they show cones, center caps, and center caps with spinners. Some people also go without any. You'll find a...
similar but different to what you wrote... (ZZZIP! flame suit on)... I personally think the worst piece of stainless available to '55's is the one...
My take is... How easy or expensive would it be to replace a lost or damaged hubcap/moon? What will happen to your blood pressure if you lose a...
something tells me this guy learned 'measure twice, cut once' the hard way...
RHD cars?
Awesome! What's the rust report say? Will it need much reconstructive surgery?
@allanjon - I'm open to be corrected, but my understanding is that 'beltline' refers to the trim at the top of the doors, at the base of the...
just spotted this photo on trifive.com... it appears what I originally was asking about has been done at least once now... [ATTACH] note: to meet...
I don't know... she's looking at the missing stainless on the windshield and smirking 'No, not my next sugar daddy...'
Good on ya' DDDenny... I'm another defender of the 210HT's - '55, '56 and '57. Funny enough I can point out three youtube personalities that have...
It was I, Colonel Mustard, in the library, with the candlestick.
I think my short answer is... here in car-crazy*** America, most any car (make and/or model) here up through the... 70's?... 80's?... likely has a...
consider this the ramblings of the semi-insane... If it's really a concern, could you rent an enclosed storage space for a month, maybe two in...
I think the idea was good, but the execution needs tweaking. In my earlier post, I alluded to the proportions of the rear quarters of the '58...
thinking aloud... Weren't the '58 Impala quarter panels longer than the non-Impala '58 quarter panels? By about 8" or so? Do you think it's...
Sure, it's all fun & games until someone has to parallel park it...
That Beetle does have a trunk in the back!
I remember when I was young, 'root beer brown' hot rods, classics and muscle cars were not uncommon. Other than photos, rarely ever see them now...
Out of curiosity, is your cowl tag still present? If yes, what does it decode to for the original color(s) of the car?
A few people may find this controversial, but I've often thought that both the '57 and '58 chevs were each one year designs. The '58 definitely....
You think instead of fuel filters he can use coffee filters?
going back to your original post... based on your set-up and if you don't see a bunch of smoky burnouts in your future... you should be able to...
As do I. It's part of my motivation to work my project. I belonged to a local car club until about 10+ years ago. Part of the reason I left it was...

Widow's peak - Wikipedia Although it's an exaggerated example, when I asked many years ago, I was told what a widow's peak is/was and that Eddie...
Question: while I was kinda diggin' the silver... would a mild scotchbrite pad take the silver off and leave the olive green behind?
looks pretty straight from this angle... Is this it's 'good side' or more of the same all the way 'round?
Food for thought... I wasn't there but in the 40's & 50's it sounds like a lot of people (include youth/kids) made 'cheap fun' which included...
I didn't read all the replies, but... I have a small handful of forums I have frequented for 15+ years, and most have of them seemed to have...
