Haven't run a Fram oil filter in over 10 years. Wix (also NAPA and Carquest house brand), Purolator (Motorcraft), or Baldwin filters only. After...
The wheels are used, and are 40+ years old. The buyer knew it, and knew he wasn't getting NOS wheels. The wheels look fine. It sounds to me...
The recession has made me a more improvising hot rodder. Whereas I used to just take the easy way out and pick up a Summit or Jegs catalog for a...
Stay safe everyone. Hope nothing more happens tonight.:o Nick
Cool project. If you could, you should try modifying the stock 62 dash to fit in there. I'm sure there's still enough room behind the old dash to...
I would keep it simple: 351W hooked up to an AOD. Rebuild the 351 with some decent aluminum heads, mild hydraulic roller, and single 4V. Keep the...
The only advice I can give is to NEVER believe sob stories, no matter how sincere they sound. Set your price, and try to get as close to that...
amen!
I've had 2 red tops last 6+ years, but they were the old US-made ones. Seems like when they moved production to Mexico, the quality fell off. Nick
That goes for shop owners as well. The machine shop I worked at this spring had a 'good enough' attitude, and the owner actually encouraged the...
$2.75 here in Vegas for 87.
I let a buddy drive my car once. My dad, however, can drive anything of mine any time he wants. He's the one that got me interested in cars!...
Do you have a larger pic?
What about the 2.5 in early S-10s? I'm talking the TBI ones. With the stock TBI air cleaner, they look carbureted, and the TBI wiring harness can...

I must have the older (higher quality) Optimas, because I have NEVER had a problem with one of their batteries. The red top in my brother's truck...
The passenger side spring is longer than the driver's side to compensate for the engine being offset. I just did the disc conversion on my 72...
PERFECT! Don't change a thing! Nick:cool:
Find a machine/welding shop that works with large diesel blocks/industrial equipment. The large Cat/Cummins/Detroit blocks are hugely expensive to...
Vegas, baby! Do I really need to brag it up? It's Vegas! Gambling! Prostitution! (not in Vegas, but in the next county over) Viva Las Vegas! (the...
Really neat little car! I like the engine-turned air cleaner top. Can you tell us what size tires are on there? The car has a really nice stance!...
The problem is that the chain stores don't pay a decent wage, so you get all the flunkies working there. When you don't pay well, the guys with...
With gas creeping up to $4 a gallon, I wouldn't hesitate to run the 4.3L either! They are strong little motors, and with the overdrive trans,...
I don't have any experience with them, but it looks like a great daily driver/cruiser type engine. And the fact that it's made with 100% new...
I really liked the Hollywood Knights version of the car. This new version is just another street-rodded 57 with billet wheels. Might as well...
Not really HAMB related, but I think as far as general hot-rodding goes, we are going to really start seeing cars that were 'undesirable' in the...
I wonder if this is a small-scale model of a full size walking machine? You know, maybe they're building a full size one with a body the size...
I KNEW I recognized that shoebox from somewhere! Watched the episode 2 nights ago. Great job! Nick
Cool logo, Freiburger!! Now I want a van! Nick:D
I don't like the nose cone, but that is an easy enough fix. The interior is great! I would have to dress up some kind of V-12 (Jaguar...
