"They've gone plaid". Loved Spaceballs, the movie.
I had a chance many years ago to buy this Dodge bucket but as usual too slow deciding. [ATTACH]
If it was me I'd get it, get it running good, even if only in the 9's, and then run it till I was comfortable especially money wise. If I wanted...
We will. You know it's almost criminal to leave that languishing in a shed and not running down a dragstrip.
I don't know how you feel Squirrel, but the rest of us are sad to see it go down the road. Life goes on.
If he did it being a dickhead, fire him. If he did it because he hadn't been trained in the dangers of the forklift especially on slopes, he...
What about aluminium (Australian spelling) for the injector stacks? Should able to get it in the required thickness (or thinness (if there's such...
That looks like a Corvette lover's wet dream.
My 2 cents worth is the springs are there to take the weight, the shocks are there to soften the rebound, not to take some of the weight bearing....
I didn't notice you doing 'Vroom Vroom' noises while sitting in the cockpit.
I'd be asking the neighbour if HE has insurance to cover the damage to your property if the tree falls onto your place.
I'd like to be there when some kid spots it at a garage sale in the future. "Hey Grandpa, what's a spark plug?"
Now that's car racing.
Let's not forget 'Cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey'.
My uneducated guess would be someone had it disassembled and dropped it. If it ran good before, don't worry about it.
Run Bosch in my avatar. Haven't changed the plugs for about 2 years or 60 or 70 dragstrip runs. Gapped at 48 thou, clean them every couple of race...
I'm going to ask a question. In Australia our power points have an actual on/off switch as part of the unit, whether it's a single, dual or even...
The engine in my avatar is basically 70 years old. Holden didn't use them after 1963. I think originally they were 6.5 : 1 compression ratio....
Here in Australia you get 91, 94, 95 or 98 depending on where you get it. Yes, we have PETROL because GAS is what comes out when you fart unless...
Maybe the engine hasn't got as much Hi Compression as you think? Could be a bit tired.
Getting shit in your eyes is traditional!
When my brother was an apprentice boilermaker he would have to get up in the night to put cold tea leaves in a wet rag and put on his eyes to ease...
At the moment on a 5 cd player in the shed we have Best of C.C.R. , The Tractors, Status Quo, Jim Croce and an Australian band that wasn't around...
This is probably not applicable to the thread but in Australia you would have a hard time getting insurance on a vehicle that has a roll cage...
I looked into this a few years back when doing a '39 Chev. The glass people said no problem but their advice was not to use clear in the centre,...
These are not recommendations on what to use and what not to use. Make up your own mind. My father died last November at the age of 92. He rode...
Hang on! You're going to put a 4 cylinder and a 2 speed auto in your hotrod. I'm guessing you're not going to be in a hurry to go anywhere?
Nah, dial 1800newchassis and it'll be on your doorstep in the time it takes to get a grinder plugged in.:D
They are until he lets a fart rip while straining.
You know, I might of been interested in the Chev but the owner looks dodgy. He reckons it's never been raced.
Separate names with a comma.
