What are you gonna do today, Napoleon?
Yeah, that sounds like a good idea, Thanks!
Never Never Never. I've heard many horror stories of fans letting go. A little grinding to balance is one thing but bending... Please don't do it.
The serial number on the frame of my '30 P/U was weak to begin with, but the frame was painted with something like POR-15. I've looked at the...
Ever need to get under a car when you are far away from the nearest pep boys? Or need to get a car higher up than jackstands will go Or it's not...
Even more words about cinder blocks. The only thing worse than a cinder block is two cinder blocks (or more) stacked. There's a big difference...
I could look at this thing all day. It won the 1908 New York to Paris race.
All things being equal (which they never are) the 10% rule is as good a starting point as any, but some models or cars had more or less saved...
Reading "Say, Smokey" in Popular Science magazine. Wire recorders. Watching the first UNIVAC computer get installed in Metropolitan Life...
When the fuel pump quit on an old Subaru we hung the windshield washer reservoir from the rear-view mirror, filled it with gas and blew into it...
Awesome car. Love the parking lights in the dagmars.
It breaks my heart to see this frivolous talk of the wanton destruction of our pristine patina. Do I have to remind EVERYONE what an ecological...
If it was a two door it wouldn't be there. I think 4dr-ht's are the new 2-doors (some more than others, depends on the styling). 2 quads, 4dr ht,...
So true! could not have said it better. When the '52 Ford was introduced, everything else looked dated. If you were lucky you could get three...

Thanks for taking the time to share it. I'm already looking forward to the sequel. I bet this thread bumps the price of American Wagons up...
Love the pictures. In post # 852 attached thumbnail #7 is a Curtis Wright Air Car. That thing was touring the country and came to my...

LOVE the pictures thanks to all who have posted, and please keep them coming. HOLY COW! LOOK AT THEM... WHOOO EEEEEE! This is the kind of reality...
Yeah when they were The Pendletones.
Fine Business!
Awesome machine! Still in R&D. Hats off to the builder. He could always steam-punk the plumbing in an older rig, but for an early sixties it fits...
I'm thinking he put it it the '64 so he could concentrate on the engine build. I'd love to see it back in a '63 (or maybe a GTO)
When I'm in a real hurry or when I'm merging into heavy traffic, sometimes my punctuation suffers. My Mother's texts are always beautifully...
Aces to you for doing it all right!
Not worthy of true "holy grail" status, because I'm the only guy on earth looking for one. A red w/clear '63 Tempest steering wheel - been...
This thread has given me a new appreciation for the paint on my cars. They are crappy but they come by it honestly.
Gorgeous! The battle scars are it's proof of authenticity. I wouldn't touch a thing.
Absolutely love the whole package. Experienced on the outside, Clean and Classy on the inside and the wheels are just a tipoff that there's more...
