Still have this sitting in my garage
BTTT
Surely someone has a use for this big hunk of iron
Recently found this nearly complete 1949 Packard 288 cubic inch straight 8 motor at an estate sale. I know next to nothing about its history. Here...
Yeah, I can't tell from any of the pictures, but I though this car had dual throat Webbers, or some similar carb on it.
Any idea what those intakes were made to fit? I was trying to figure it out all morning. Not certain, but they look similar to the ones Dean fit...
If I never discover what they were meant to be originally at least one of them may become the basis for a partially streamlined LSR motorcycle.
They are HUGE! Like 16" across the open end.
Also picked up these, and a set of air lift bags that I'm not sure are going to fit anything, but the price was right. The writing in side...
I went, I didn't get anything all that great, but I did get some stuff. You would not believe how cheap some of it was either. I will try to post...
So I have a 1960 Parkwood I am redoing, again. I was thinking it would be cool to add some actual wood to the exterior of it, or even fake wood....
You know as soon as I posted that last comment I though "wait a minute, Uhaul has been around since WWII, I wonder how far back their database...
Only problem is that its not an Elco, its a station wagon. I'm not planning on going nuts. The car weighs about 2500lbs and the heaviest open...
Hey guys, So I am getting my 1960 Chevy Wagon back on the road, and I want to use it to tow the 24 Hours of Lemons car I have. The question is,...
okay, I'm in now. Thanks for the info here and the referral
Registered, got the email confirming it but all I get when I try to log in is "The specified username is currently inactive. If you have problems...
Thanks a bunch! Fairly certain I have the dual pattern block. Its a late 78 build date on the car, and the starter is not the low mount kind, as...
Okay, normally I'm a Chevy guy, but I have this 200 six powered car with a C4 behind it that I'm racing in 24 Hours of Lemons. After an okay race...
I am also doing that, though I can't afford both at once. I did find that Big Tex trailers out of Anaheim will rent their trailers, as well as...
Sure they could, but its not registered, or I would just drive it. I've been told in order to tow it with any wheel on the ground it needs...
Hey folks, Anyone near me in Van Nuys have a open car hauler trailer they care to rent or lend me? I need to haul a 2700lb car, and if I put...
These heads aren't all that hard to come by. There were 2 or more other Fox bodied Ford cars in the junk yard here recently with this motor in...
Hey folks, I've been busy with old dirt bikes lately, so I haven't been on here, but I am now building a car for 24 hours of Lemons racing so I...
They are really no better or worse than anything else from the era in a typical crash. They are worse than a perimeter framed car in the even you...
No, I checked with the guy. Two people have moss green 60 Chevy's with the American flag painted on the roof
Yeah, that will follow. I was just kind of hoping to get the input of someone who has done this before. Its pretty common on these cars. I will...
Looking at this makes me sad. Not only is Olds gone, but my local dealer in Culver City, CA finally closed their doors after more than 60 years....
So I browse Ebay, like most of you, even when I am not going to buy anything. The other day I stumbled across an action that for a second I...
