It's on now... http://losboulevardosmessageboard.com/ New address! BTW I love those wheels. I have a set for my Electra. The pre-67 ones have a...
Those where popular wheels back in 65-66. In popular customs from those years you see alot of non Buicks rolling those.
Kinda. Actually MIG is less heat, but heat is your friend. I tack it with MIG so I can hold the metal with one hand and tack with the other. For...

Had to make a new rear cross member for the rear panel. All that stuff was rotted and I needed it straight to finish hanging the quaRTER which is...
That sucks that you gotta visit on those reasons, Just let me know if you need anything or whatever. It'd be great to see you!
I'm a sheet metal welder. That's gravy, and less obtrusive into the car. In a high crown area, metal is less likely to warp, I could tig and metal...
Thanks! We got round 1 of the roof flaked. Now just have to resand and do it all over! Gotta love legit flake jobs. It's hard to capture it on a...

[IMG] [IMG] Some cell phone pics of the engine prior to install. I don't think There's gonna be an icing problem at all. Drove it around the...
Curt B, I gotta retract what I said about homemade split exhausts looking like shit, That is some clean work!
Point made. Let me ask this. Do you think performance wise it will be better than stock? I do have another manifold I could cut up. What if I did...
I thought it would be better kind of in between the 2 upper ports, then just cap off the ends? Plus, give it more equal flow, and aesthetically be...
Yo, Here is a rough mock up of the split header I am thinking of running. What do you think? I am mostly going for sound, and a little bit of...
