Yeah, it's weird how the "oldness" of stuff seems to have changed. Back when I was in high school (1979-83) 25-year-old cars seemed ancient and...
Looks like a cool project. The S-10 four-cylinder is a kind of a unique way to go -- and that ain't bad. Good luck!

Lately I've been thinking of building a fenderless T roadster. I'm leaning toward a '26-'27, since I'm a bit on the tall side. But if a good '23...

Hey other Bellm, whaddup? Back to the topic: Why the fuck do people give such a shit about what different magazines decide to run? Magazines are...
The Cafeteria at the Henry Ford Museum has one of the older Wienermobiles. Looks like it was built sometime in the 1950s. Very cool....
Welcome! Sounds like you'll have a kickass ride when you're done -- speaking as a fellow flattie-powered-F1 guy. (Mine's a pickup.) I know...
