Another HAMBer from Oshkosh. See you all at Symco!
Cleaning out the fuel system in my car after dealing with rust in the tank (tank is getting relined and a fuel pump rebuilt). Any good...
Any more feedback?
Just ran across this thread. Has anyone any new information on this product? Seems like a good solution for tight spaces, if it's any good.
Sorry, The you-know-what just hit the fan at work. Looks like I'll be in the office Saturday morning. So I won't make it. Thanks for putting this...
Hank, Is the event still on rain or shine? I won't have my car out in this #@%! we call spring.
Welcome from Oshkosh. Saw your El Camino and Norton set-up at the Symco Shakedown last summer. Awesome.
I'll try and make it as well. Let us know if you need some hard numbers to get the discount at EAA.
I'll be up bright and early Saturday. Not so bright and early Sunday!
Mine is from and old article called the "Packard Crushathon, 1977" In which rival car clubs let the cars get crushed, rather than cooperate on...
It's the 1954 Pontiac Bonneville Special show car. (Pic stolen from Flickr)
How about extending the rear fenders FORWARD instead of back? Plus long skirts that line up with the stone guard. Gives you a longer look without...

I'm here is St Louis for a long weekend (watching my daughter play in the National Softball Tourney). Looking for a good salvage yard to wander...

You sound just like me, take it slow and enjoy it fellow '51 Packard 200 owner. Here's mine:
I go to this site all the time for info about my '51 Packard: www.packardinfo.com Great site, lots of good people (like the HAMB) providing...
Welcome from Oshkosh
I agree with some of the other posts. Flux-core wire will work fine, once you get a feel for the technique. Personally I think welding with a MIG...
When people use "2-door" to describe cars like Corvettes, Camaros, GTOs etc. Oh Yeah, because GM made so many Firebird station wagons...
Cliffy, I have to confess. I was me. I did the burnout with my Saturn. That Symco decal I put on my window really boosted my horsepower! I...
Thanks for posting all the swap meet pics, It got rained out this afternoon. I saw more here than I did at the show!
Don't let 'em give you shit about the color change, making a shift from white to black in Photoshop is tough. Just keep trying different...
Cliffy, can your Ford do that?
