[ATTACH] I've always not been too fond of the white letters on my tires, definitely a 70's thing. Always figured I'd have gotten around to some...
Back when I had my 54 2Dr HT it had a 350 and 200 4R Transmission. Used a 55 Chevy radiator and stock mechanical fan, didn't have a shroud or any...
Late last night I managed to get my hurst shifter mounted up to my replacement transmission. It took a bit of work with a dremel to make the...
2 Bolt 454 with ARP 3/8 rod bolts and stock rods here. Small 274H flat tappet with 840 rectangle port heads and a tunnel ram. Pulls hard to 6500...
Maybe you Northern IL guys don't, but downstate we sure do.
Wasn't my car so this made it hurt worse, but I once knocked a fully dressed 500 Cadillac off an engine stand. Went to roll the cherry picker away...

Dang! Sounds like I missed out on a heck of a deal. My Dad has plenty of similar stories from when he was my age driving his 57 a lot more...
Doug Nash 5 speed would be neat...but I think I'm going to stick to the good old 4.
Down the road perhaps. I've looked up the Autogear Supercase alone and they're not terribly expensive. However if their M23 is really still $2400...
It'll be a long while before I can afford one of those.
I suppose that would do it, but how can it happen? I thought they shared the same shift fork?
I just can't believe the case is torn up as bad as it is. Any idea what could cause on to tear up that bad while using a trans crossmember? I...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] She just wasnt having it! Can't believe the carnage, but on a second thought I definitely believe it. I've heard the...
Oddly enough, through it all I've just been kind of laughing it off. Not really too upset because I know a M20 behind a big block with a bit more...
"Go out and beat on your car," they said. "It will be fun!," they said. Well....it was fun while it lasted. But it sure didn't last long. The...
Yes that's it Dago! It was a great surprise when someone on the board found it for the first time. Digging your nomad, always wish I had one of...
You've got a good point. I think I've just been soured because I haven't been able to drive the car nearly as often as I would like. When I had my...
Had the 56 out this weekend. I took it to a friend's housewarming party and it was quite the attention grabber with the new flip front end and...

[ATTACH] Seems like every time I work on this thing it gets a bit uglier....not necessarily at bad thing however. Here it is with the fiberglass...
Well I went ahead and pulled the trigger on a deal over on hamb classifieds. Picked up a 56 Chevy 3100 axle, springs, brakes and most linkage. Any...
Hey guy, anyone ever put a 52 Chevy half ton front axle on their Tri-Five? There's one local for a few hundred bucks. Thinking about picking it...
I really do love that style of scoop. Makes me wish my t-ram wasnt so tall!
Bahah! Mailbox scoop. However, that scoop/thing on the RPU is really a neat item. Nothing I have ever seen before, and will probably never see...
I love a good 67 427 Vette scoop. My only issue is if I want to run air cleaners with my carbs, and I do. The only thing that will clear my setup...
Soon to be either buying or crafting a hood scoop myself, I figured it would be a good subject to deliberate over. We all know what scoops aren't...
My grandpa had a 63 1/2 427 4 speed black on black. Always wish he'd kept it
