I am planning on going Friday morning. Haven’t missed many since the early 90s. Wish it was still at the original location except for the muddy...
I used a leftover ford 302 connecting rod with a piece of rubber sandwiched inside. Seems to work just fine. Cost $0 since it was in my scrap...
How is it going to seal to the needle if you drill it out? It will leak and not work. CN
Very small turnout. Nothing really to take pictures of. There was a cool Edsel/ranchero looking car. May have been a cut down wagon. Didn’t...
Good, we are heading that way now. Wish us luck. CN
Weather always plays a factor this time of year and of course it is cold and the ground will be wet. This is the best one to go to and haven’t...

If I get a chance tomorrow I will. CN

[ATTACH] Here’s a pic of them just sitting on the floor after I bought them. CN
That is exactly what I am doing at the moment in mine. I mocked up the rear ‘66 tbird seats and they fit the area almost perfectly. I have not...

Much better. CN
I have regular length plugs in mine and am running shorty mustang headers I got from Summit and there is no issue with fitment. Just have to...
If you haven’t taken the block to the machine shop, go get at roller cam block. In my opinion, less worries with break in and oil types. Find an...
I put a 67 falcon in my 51 shoebox. The filler is in a good spot to use the original gas door. I made the trunk just like the mustang/falcon....
You should already know the answer to your question. CN
Eastwood carries a satin and glossy radiator specific paint. I have never used it so I have no info on that. It says that it won’t effect heat...
That is an awesome body style. I don’t think I have ever seen a caddy one. I’m sure it is pretty rare. Would make an awesome car to have. CN
I was thinking about going to the Fredericksburg one also, but wasn’t sure about it since I have never gone. It is about a 4 hour drive so...
Don’t the wheels on the truck and the wheels on the trailer seem too modern? CN

That’s my yard art that we decorate year round. CN
I appreciate having the life that I have and am very thankful for the ones that fought for us and gave the ultimate sacrifice. I have two young...

No thanks to that price and the possibility of a fire ball from a lithium battery. CN
My brother in-law ran car shows in the DFW area for many years. On occasion I would lend a hand to help him out. He quit doing them because he...
