A vision from a different perspective. Don't get to look at an interior from this point of view very often. I think it's got potential.
I have a '40 Chevy sedan with a SBC. Transmission is a Powerglide from a '73 Nova and I'm installing a factory horseshoe cable shifter from a...
Spelling: It's the difference between "You know your shit," and "You know you're shit."
I think it's Ford, too. But Chevrolet also made stinky steering wheels. I had a '49 Chevy with the accessory wheel, a beautiful wheel, by the way,...
Mine is a photograph from last year of the first time all the fenders - and the grille - were on my '40 Master Deluxe at the same time in who...
Can someone please explain to me how one reads a dipstick showing one quart of oil in the pan? Maybe post a picture of a dipstick with increments...
2012 is the year that my everlasting project will hit the road! Hope everyone's new year is even more productive!
Sorry about the car, but it's what we did this year. All the best Christmas wishes to one and all. The HAMB makes it Christmas all year long!
Tim, Thanks for asking. Plans are rather incomplete, beyond getting it drivable. I'm repairing the rust, which is not bad, and will leave the...
Here's one more. It runs but doesn't drive just yet.
Here's the compound curve strip. I'm sure the guys who have been shaping tin for years who see this as amateurish. I know there are tools and...
When I got the flat piece tacked in place, I was not happy with how it looked. I wondered if it was a waste of time and welding wire. But i just...
More steps along the way.
Since I didn't have an English wheel, (and wouldn't have known what to do with it if I did) the trailing end of the fender was a little more...
I decided to start on the forward end of the fender, for no reason other than the trailing end was just too indimidating at this point. The first...
This isn't really a technical post, I guess. But it's close enough. I put it up here as an encouragement to those of you who have never done sheet...
The forgotten Camaro. 1975 LM1/M20 RS. This just captures it for me.
The top one looks very much like the OEM shifter that came in my '75 Camaro, but it was not a Hurst. Do you raise the handle to engage reverse?
Class of 1965. Drove a '49 Chevy Fleetline Deluxe 4-door sedan, all stock, with a Deluxe accessory steering wheel, :-) and was kind of embarrassed...
It took the amount of time to cut a hole in the firewall and install the excellent '73 Nova wiring harness I scavenged from, what else, a '73...
1949 Chevy Fleetline Deluxe four-door, 216 babbit beater and three-speed on the column, of course. I was 15. Our driveway was a little steep, and...
This is my '40. I think it's had the driver-side front fender replaced many years ago. Been driven through barbed wire or something similar. Been...
Many happy returns of the day. We are so happy you were born!
Thank God for liberty, and God help the man who tries to take it away from me. I will never forget.
Here's one.
Out-fucking-standing! Made me feel like I was there, and made me wish there were lots more episodes! My sincere thanks for posting.
New cam and all new parts. Engine has not been started since it's been rebuilt. I'm thinking the potential problems outweigh the potential advantage.
Got my sbc in the car and to the point where it could be started. My partner in crime is encouraging me to start it for the first time dry, i.e....
There's a show in eastern Washington state that's held at the Central Washington State Fairgrounds hosted by the Vintiques car club that has...
