Any chance you'll share where it is????:)
I wondered if this one was still part of your fleet.......
Sooooo glad Pgan started doing the online column! I have always loved his history lessons!
This is why I sold the 2 originals (each for more than the cost of 1 good repop)I had and bought a repop! All the hard work was done, and all I...
Drag Slick/5 spoke logo was the main one when I 1st logged on! Click on a topic and off I went! :)
I think that is where most of today's rat rodders came from too! There's a big difference between a hot rod and a rat rod that those guys just...
The 2 with the belled ends are old school scavenger pipes!
That bumper/winch combo would look kind of neat on your 59 4x4!
I have had one (bumperless in front) on my coupe since they first came out. I love the look, but it is VERY soft and marks and scratches really...
This should really be a Rodders Journal bare metal feature with a history of the original car in the future!!!
If you chopped the top and screwed up the shape of the quarter windows, it may be understandable. To just fill the quarter windows to make it...
My 40 coupe that I bought when I was 12 in 1982 from a farmers grove 5 mile from my house in the city for $150! The following year I bought a...
I'm 48 years old. Cars were my life when I was a kid. My parents were VERY active in the hobby, so all our family time was spent with cars as the...
Watch the deals though! I did a deal on Hot Rod Deluxe last year and recently had my subscription automatically renewed at the current rate or...
I remember there being another 56 running around in the 80's from Nebraska that had a "skyland" hood on it. I believe they were a 4" louver, so...
I think given Von Franco's nuts on clones of the 1st and 2nd versions of the car, it would have been great for it to get restored to the...
He FINISHED a "Rolling Bones" style car rather than doing the faux patina look that they are so famous for. I like his SOOOOOOO much better...
Possibly a BRUTE(sp)? If so, there was a ski option for the front. I’m from Minnesota too. My uncle had a brute back in the late 70’s, it was...
I assume that is the boat that was with the Golden Sahara in the pic of it with a boat?
Holy crap there's some incredible boats coming out of his collection! I bet a couple of those boats will probably bring as much money as the GS or...
I have a 3 door heater I've been wanting to redo for my coupe. The fan motor was my big hangup. This may have just given me the spark to get it done!!
20+ years/30,000 miles carrying a spacesaver spare in my coupe. Never needed it yet! I'd put it on long enough to get home, or get to a tire shop...
Soooooo glad you've given s an opportunity to enjoy your wring again! I was sad to see that you had "retired" from the books and magazines side of...
Since there are only a dozen or so Kookie clones around now, If it were MINE, I'd pull all the "dual" stuff off and keep in the white and red...
I’d say this is definitely one of the biggest news items in the hot rod/custom world since the discovery of the Orbitron! For me, I'd say pull the...

My buddy did a burnout in reverse up my driveway once in his high buck Deuce 5w. He dumped the clutch and proceeded to rip about half the teeth...

Good Luck! I had a 61 hardtop, which shares a bunch of 60 mechanical parts, and 62 body parts. Boy are the 60-2 Fords a BITCH to find parts for!...
