I bought my 52 in the mid 80s for $2000 and it had a 351 Windsor with and automatic in it. It was my daily driver back and forth to work, 50 miles...
My built in the early 50s roadster had (probably) cheap, no name gauges except for the SW speedometer, so that's what I used including the...
I did these for a neighbor of mine once. They were finished with a blue pinstripe. HD theme bedroom. The baseboards and all the door and window...
I've seen Speedway (and others) Showing kits with 2 or 3 longer studs listed. I just assumed they were to be used when mounting the oil filter to...
For me it's always been about body style behind the "tub" or "bucket". If it has nothing or maybe a gas tank or a shortened pickup bed it is a "T...
Both owner garage built and painted. Jeff Greene's Chevy is base - clear. I don't know what brand. My 27 was shot with Omni single stage acrylic...

My first car in the early 60s. I bought it with $35 from my paper route money when I was 14. Did all of the work outside in the yard. The lower...
Hmmm........ Perhaps if your looking for a 32 Model A you're in the wrong place.
You mean like these I made to adapt my old pre 67 staggard bolt valve covers to my "modern 1971 350 . lol [ATTACH] I'm no machinist. I made...
[ATTACH] I hope you weren't talking about mine.
This was a running frame. Note the temp. gauges laying on the engine. I could have driven the frame with some kind of seat, installed the shifter...
This one's on a T but it's on a 32 frame. it was filled and sectioned in the early 50s.[ATTACH]
Actually, as luck would have it, I once had a 49 Olds and when I got rid of it, I had skirts on it and forgot I didn't have the back caps on so I...
Hey that Olds cap looks like the one I lost off the front of my 47 last summer. lol[ATTACH]
I turned 75 a couple of months ago. At 72 I finished a roadster project that had been in my garage for many years. I still ride my Harley but not...
Here's one I was doing in the 80s but never finished. It did eventually get done but I never saw it.[ATTACH] [ATTACH]
[ATTACH] Well, I too am just a little guy,[ATTACH] but I don't have much room for sure. My buddy who owns the 32 behind my 27 said if ever had to...
I own this car today but the pump and any evidence of it were long gone by the time I found it. I know the gas tank was in the trunk, but he ran...
I was lucky enough to get what was left of this car. No drivetrain or wheels for that matter but the first things I did was to change the wishbone...
True but a lot were also nicely finished and painted. A lot of the old black and white photos make the cars look kind of rough simply because...
I did this one way back when I still had some hair.[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Way before. (1952) After I found what was left of it. After some work. After some frame work. After some good help. After a little bit more work....
