I wouldn't miss it for the world. It was the first show I had a car involved in.
I've used that 1500 degree rated grill and oven paint in a rattle can. It worked well. I was careful not to over do it though.
I've seen old folks around here w/them on there cars up until atleast the '90's. Mind you they weren't driving customs, just huge honking battle...
I'd say you should maintain your love for working on and customizing old cars, but look towards the practical aspects of the the core trades...
I concur with this observation. I'd also add that running them the way they where constructed to run would be cheaper on parts, and less...
If your motor was in a boat, and repaired like that back in the day, it was to make it keep running. The heads, #'s, and anything else is...
This starter issue reminds me of the stories of kicking over old Harleys, or the dangers of the old crank start cars. My guess is something in...

Hello, I wish you best here.
If it's something you just want, offer him $100. If it's a period thing....$100. I think that is fare.
When I moved back from Hawaii about 5 yrs ago w/$500 in my pocket, my pop had a '48 Chevy Fleetline that was rotten to shit, and a pile of donor...
That is beautiful. Any work done to the motor?
Maybe you can pull ends meat by parting some of it out. You will never have a first again, unless you are lucky or sell it in the family...
I'd be most concearned w/the warrenty since you are buying it new, and the availablilty of replacement parts(not expenables). We have a Lincoln...
I'd go w/the 305 unless you want a 350. They are very stout motors, and the bore is only like a 1/4" smaller than a 350 stock. From what I've...
It looks to me like an LS or LT intake. I'm not the magic man who knows everything, but it doesn't look like it fits the motor(as far as the...

It kind of looks like a pully of the drive train for a lawn tractor??
This is a massive "mung" of awesomeness as far as the small block. All I can offer is an appearance tip. As most know, and few realize....they...
I'd say they are chromed aluminum, and I've seen them before, but not w/chrome on them. The chrome job is shotty at best.
4th Force is in Hawaii. That must be sweet.
I have a front end off a '54 1/2 ton stashed. I won't pull the brakes or spindles, but let me know what I can help w/and I'd be happy to.
Go to your local tubing/fab shop or even an old fabrication shop, and show them a pic. Tell them that you want medical grade stainless (not as...
With the right tires...that thing looks like it will hook like a maniac, but overengineering isn't a bad thing. I'd pop a couple struts in from...
