Alyn has been a family friend for many years. Somewhere I have pictures of he and I using some of the machines in his shop for a book I did for...
You can back off the nut on the backside of the strut rod to get it all lined up. Get them tightened up as close to where they were originally,...
I'd like a chance to win. This is my 50 Pontiac Silver Streak with the frame sitting on the rear all the time. Running 2 leaf springs and 3 inch...
Like Whippet said International Title Service is the way to go. You will wrap yourself up in a huge mess with out of state death certificates and...
Sent an email to every representative on that list. I paid the one time filing fee and provided my own license plates, they can't tell me I have...
Barn finds and all the catch phrases are garbage. Wash your car, fix the rust, and have some pride in it. Old paint is cool as long as you...
Mine has 3 inch blocks and pulled out all but 2 leaves in the back, took a coil and a half out of the front. Lays on shortened snubbers in the...
I vote YES on the curb feelers. I'm 25 so there is a good vote from a younger member of the crowd.
Thanks for the history on that, I'm young enough that I never knew about it. Wish the big automakers today still put on a real show like they did...
Posted on the other vintage boat thread but here it is again. My 1960 Glasspar G3 center deck model built in 59. Not sure if it was built here...
Centralia but in Olympia often on weekends
I live in Centralia and was amazed at the amount of o/t cars that were getting away with the burnouts and drag racing during the cruise....
First time for me to make it to the show, or to California for that matter. I thought the show blew away any other I've been to but what happened...
changing the master cylinder on my 50 Pontiac I got too careless and cross threaded one of the hardlines into the block that attaches to the...
If I have a parts engine how can I safely get the tube out of the block? I have thought about trying to find a universal tube that will work with...
I had a 390 rebuilt for my 62 Coupe DeVille, but the dipstick tube broke off the block while removing it. I've been looking everywhere and have...
Wondering where to find chrome valve covers for my 62 Cadillac 390. I don't know whether there is a good source for them somewhere or to take a...
from what i can tell some of the parts from a chevy will work, but the front clip is all different, as is most of the suspension. i believe the...
50 Poncho and 62 Coupe DeVille. Nothing too special so far, just works in progress.
I've had good luck with the belltech 3" aluminum block kits. They come with decent u-bolts, nuts, and washers. Have some in the rear of my 50...
Parts are out there but it depends on what kind of money you are wanting to spend. I have a 62 coupe deville also, and from what I've found so...
24 and never went to college. Cars are built faster with a job right now. 50 Poncho and 62 Coupe DeVille. Nothing major so far I like to drive...
The new idea of "helping" someone with their supposed problem of having a collection is one of the biggest problems yet. There have been so many...
Thanks. Those pictures were taken outside the friend's house whose garage I used to lay it out in that sealer. My first attempt at spraying a...
This is my 50 still just in white sealer.
My 60 Glasspar G3, built in 59. Has fins on it but not as extreme as some others. The coolest part of these boats is they were built in Olympia...
I'd agree at 500-2000. 2000 being a clean car that you can drive away.
