A while ago, I wanted to do a similar build. It's easy to read how some people, having been around the hobby for years, make something that simple...
This is good advice, and if I recall, there was a bit of what seemed like oil around the base of the spark plug. I chalked it up to too much...
Thought I would ask the experts here. I have a car that got finished for my dad (story to follow), and I ended up taking stewardship of. He worked...
AFAIK, it originated in lakes racing with bigs and littles. Littles in the front brought it down for aero advantage. Bigs in the rear for taller...
You mean the "El Mariachi" director? Or am I way off base?
Thing is nice to look at. I like the close-out panel between the quickchange and the rear edge on the body. The stamped holes look completely...
+1 on Michigan. No, for places to move AWAY from. The state is so heavily automotive, and cutbacks are going on all 'round. It's like Halloween...
Fucking deer. No, I didn't drive a custom or a rod, but I was driving the stink out of a VR6 Golf in 1996 after arriving from a long flight. I...
Yes, and especially when you compare the Toyota Tundra to the GM full size trucks, the Toyotas are ALREADY being recalled, do NOT have a 5-star...
Well, working at GM, I have a few comments from the inside out. First, we are making huge strides in quality. So much, in fact, that Buick...
That's one of the more relevant topics (for me) in the last year or so. It's fluctuated from "sell my project" to "let's get it moving", and...
On that car, a 50/51 Nash grille should look just fine
What would Boyd do?
Be original. Beautify America. Don't build another Milnermobile.
Hmmm. Not sure about those black/white pics. They're cool. but how did the car end up looking? What about the Alexander brothers? Ohio flame...
I dunno, man. That car is like, a half-step away from this baby:
The real tragedy here isn't that old 'Noid doesn't have any hubris, but that his arrogance left a trench in the salt. And that it'll make for an...
Shannon cones look good ONLY on a few nicely lowered customs. But a Starliner will wear a set very well them all day long no matter what. My...
Pics?
Yeah, seems RJ is working its way toward the DuPont Registry clientele. I let my subscription run out because the last several issues were...
How does this compare to other synthetics with molybdenum additives? For years, cycle synthetics have had moly it them to reduce friction, and it...
Drop the rear, and keep on going. Get rid of those billetmobile wheels, and get a set of tires that look wider than rubberbands. . . ....
I'm halfway between Coolidge and Woodward on Normandy, so I'm trapped anyway! The circus is coming to town, and it's burnouts and exhaust fumes...
+1 If you want to distinguish your company/business/personal endeavour from the rest of your competition, why do the clip art thing? But you...
Chop that bitch. Lowering a 60s car always makes the upper look baby-headed if it's not chopped. While it's in the shop anyway. . . just do a...
Anything 32. There aren't enough of them on the roads right now!
Not sure if the original post is about looking the part, or living it. If it's about living it, then we should be wearing heavy-tint glass when...
I have a 42-48 rear. I'd like to get a narrower width to the axle as on the 39s, or 40s. Can I "swap" parts like the bells and axles, while...
You better have some really goddam good sprung seats. I'd wager that a rigid rear would be a car you could drive for 20 minutes tops.
+1 A good friend had two extra tix, so the honey and I saw the show in Detroit. Wow, that guy was playing the strings off the guitar! Looks...
