Man I actually really like that.. Once I figure out the situation with the drivetrain something like that may be the way to go..
This afternoon I washed it down, pulled out the ratty carpet (the floors aren't too bad and actually had rubber), rattle-canned the wheels and...
As far as I can tell no, the brakes, transmission and carb have all had a once over by the last owner who got tired of tinkering. I may just park...
Just got hold of a 1964 Studebaker Commander. I will let the pictures do the talking, it needs a head gasket but still runs, has a handful of new...
Depends how you define it, I guess headers and a Weber carb on my MkII Escort counts right?
My first car was a 1980 Ford Escort 4-door. The Euro one, not the horrible North American one. Doesn't quite fit the trend of other peoples first...
That's what I thought may have happened or the master had busted a seal, I hate messing with brakes so I figured some guidance would be nice....
Alright, I'm on a tight budget here so chances are it's gonna have to wait but I need help working out what to look at on my brakes... The...
First real build was my '50 F1 at a shop I worked for... It received a 360FE with some bolt-on goodies, headers that we flipped and ran out the...
"There is a replacement for displacement...it's called boost." (A guy I worked with.) "Nice car...do they make them for men too?" (As above.)...
I'm gonna try be there with my fiance, I actually was born and raised in Brisbane! Keep an eye out for our '51 Styleline (picture as my avatar)...
Hey I play 'games' but it hasn't stopped me owning and working on a bunch of old cars! Ha! I'll agree though, I've found it a little tough to...
Is 0-30 ohms standard for most/all Chevys? My '51 Styleline gas gauge doesn't work, the P.O told me the sender/float got taken out of the tank....

If for some reason they don't fit throw them back up for $175. Lol.
Awesome... want that car bad!
I wish I was going... stuck working that day. Damn dealership hours!
THAT is where you use a good pole-jack under the rear end to stabilize it. I've never had any issues with the 2-post setups, just make sure it's...
+1. They only stay 'finished' for so long... lol. Then the itch hits to do something!
Took the '51 out yesterday for a ride, here's a couple quick pictures! I'll snap some good ones once I clean it up and find a good spot around...
Ha, I do the same. I'll tell them what I need, they'll inevitably ask what year, make and model to which I reply "Well, look it up as a..." It's...
Alright, pulled the valve cover and all looked good under there, no gunk at all. Then pulled the road draft tube, soaked it, cleaned it out, let...
Oh ok, may wanna throw up some pics of yours so more people don't get the wrong idea. Ha!
Looks too nice to chop... I'd find something a little rougher to cut up and leave that one for someone else to appreciate. ;)
I got a '51. Not quite the aftermarket I thought there was gonna be but that's half the fun of owning something isn't it? Finding that one part...
Cool thanks! That's what I needed to hear, I figured blow-by was part of it but a rebuild aint happening! I'll pull the cover and check it out, I...
Alright so in my '51 Styleline I have replaced the starter/fuel pump/lines and got some ugly but usable wheels until I free some funds for nice...
I picked a cheap one up from PepBoys for an old project, actually worked real well!
I'm 24, I've had a handful of old cars since the age of about 18, current project is my '51 Styleline. Whenever I'm old enough to have kids I'm...
Good info right there. I have a couple of options locally, a set of Rally wheels, 15x7, from a '75 Corvette or a set of 18 inch factory wheels...
