Thanks for the reply, I will pass the information on to him.
Hey all, long time since I’ve posted but I’m trying to help out my dad. He has a 54 GMC truck with the stock hydramatic in need of a rebuild. We...
Looking forward to this build, this is one of my favorite cars of all time.
First time was 2008, I took my dad out there ( his first too) and we went back again in 2016. He’s not real good with long drives anymore and...
Just missed the first 500. These threads are always a great reminder of the changes the board has gone through and brings out some who rarely post...
I think I’m a classic, my wife thinks I’m an antique, and my kids just think I’m old. Personally I think classic is a term that applies to a...
For me I would say either a 62 Olds Starfire or 64 Buick Riviera. In stock form they look great and a simple lowering and wheel change would be...
Definitely one of my favorite customs. The fact you have so much documentation on the various build stages is incredible. Thanks for sharing.
Sounds like some of the old ads Plowboy used to write. Good stuff!
Nice score. You west coast guys are lucky, anything like that around here needs the bottom 8 inches of metal replaced. To me that car screams custom.
Make sure you have a real good ground with a connection to a non painted surface and heavy enough cable. Grounding is important especially if...
Nice score! I have a soft spot for Edsel’s, my parents had a 59 Ranger which I came home from the hospital in.
Yep that’s the rule I’ve always followed. Push on it while turning it until it clunks 3 times then you know it’s in properly.
Actually it’s a little further south....St. Louis.
Nope that’s mud all the way. Most of those cars were sold to the scrappers, very few went to private buyers. Only the really ambitious or insane...
Find an auto glass shop, do not use anything other than glass for automotive applications. Flat glass shouldn’t cost much, I did a model A a...
I put a cable in my A with a flathead and T-5 and F100 pedals. For me it was the simplest setup and I thought it had good feel to it. Used a $5...
I live right next to Normal, trust me when I say you ain’t missing anything.

SOLD Here's the chance to own a true low milage survivor. I'm listing this for my dad, I've sold some of his vehicles and stuff her before, so...
In Illinois you can run YOM as long as your vehicle is currently registered with Antique plates and you have to carry the antique plates with you...
I first met Bob at the Pile up the first year in Morris. He was always one to stop and say hello. When we had the RockNRods show the first year in...
Hey all, long time since I’ve posted anything but I was curious if there is anything car related going on in the Huntsville/Decatur area May 5-8?...
My favorite 60’s custom, I can’t wait to see the finished pics.
As much as I like the Pontiac, for me for 1961 would have to be the Oldsmobile Dynamic 88 or maybe Buick Invicta. To me they have some of the best...
You got this Bob, I know you will kick the snot out of it!
Kenny Baker maybe? Choprods is his name on here.
I'm making the trip again this year and booked a while back at the Best Western. We stayed in Wells in 2008 and it was ok but a long way out....
There are quite a few Hamber's cars there. It was a good time, I hosted an open cookout afterwards and about 50 guys showed up. I wish it would...
