IMHO, any clear or gloss coat over a rusty/patina'd finish looks like someone waxed over a dirty old kitchen floor. Leave it as is or paint the...

Most of Colorado including Denver is in the Eastern zone so Fastenal should work. I figured the split may have been the Miss. river but it's way...
PNJ on the license plate was a foreshadow for Jacobs' Pete and Jakes...
Awesome truck and story about friendships. You're clearly the best choice for caretaker! The truck looks like it rolled right out of a vintage R&C...
IIRC, it's an additional 30% mark up from the price list for any parts coming out of the "Primo" yard here in San Diego. That separate yard is...
car transporter or HAMB relay that has room in their haul and has plans along that route UShip
How about adapting a small power window motor to the windshield crank mechanism? You can open the windshield with the push of a button and not be...
Fantastic looking Sedan. Agree with Dan that it has a perfect chop. Too often coupes and sedans get over hammered. Is the car still around? I'd...
"The chopped flamed Merc was Curt's daily in 1961". He didn't want his Merc from 1961!!?? The Merc and the 34 sedan were bargains. Auction...
Nice job of backfilling the T. Jeez, the hot rod collection at the 3 Dog Garage is to die for; https://www.3dog.org/hot-rods-customs (mouse over...
Has a filled cowl vent which is usually a real chore to return to stock so that may be a clue to look for if the car was redone/repainted. We can...
Condolences to his family and friends. He'll be missed here. Always liked his cars.
Find someone (a HAMBer?) that does home aluminum sand casting and have them cast a copy for your spare. Polished out, it should pass. 20 years ago...
I borrowed a reamer and did my own, however, it would probably be double the labor cost here, IF you could find a shop willing to take on a small...
Brings new meaning to the term "survivor car". Glad it was saved! Beautiful 40.
The stock flathead doesn't match the rest of the rodded car. I'm wondering if it once had a hot flathead that was pulled for another project or...
Very cool find! Hopefully and old time islander rodder will recognize it. From the jamb peeling, looks like it was previously dark blue and green....
I don't recall ever seeing any pinstriper date his signature (on a car) with the day/month/year. Any other instances of Von Dutch dating his sig....
Great lines and craftsmanship. Love that you retained the drip rails, and the extended quarter windows look spot on!
If budget was an issue, I'd pick up a used Edelbrock vs. running that. Bead blast it and nobody will know the difference. In fact, I can only...
Leave the fenders, board, full hood. lower it another 3" ( lose all that daylight between the tops of the tires and fenders) and center the rear...
Agree with Fat47, in that it wasn't included in their upbringing. I feel the internet and social media hasn't helped as it lets people say what...
15% - 18% percent + CA tax is typical of most any auction house here. Some add another 3% if you pay with a card instead of cash. I simply bake...
Almost 20 years ago. Topdeadcenter last seen in 2015. Wonder if he lived up to his name and found top dead center when setting up the initial timing?
Neat find! Damn shame they didn't store the grille inside the car instead of standing it in the mud.
Other option would be to turn your new drums to 3.060 bore. (That would save pulling the axles if that's a heartache to you). Sure, you'd have to...
I love the look and functionality of them. It captures both the show car vibe as well as the performance look. It indicates the driver is a wrench...
Full pass. While the "small fixes" needed may be simple, they prevent you from test driving the car. Hence, in my eyes, it's a "project car". Red...
That's great to hear experiences such as these. Whenever you have a true craftsman execute spot on work for you at a fair price, reward them with...
