I wonder what the rolling stock/drivetrain is worth? Basically everything minus the body
Man, I just do not love that car. To me t-buckets are touchy, if you don't get them just right they fail. This one does seem to be well preserved...
I love 62's, and the fact that it's a 4 door doesn't bother me at all! In fact, I have one sitting in my trailer just waiting for winter so I can...
Definitely Rad!
So after running the car for a few weeks, here's what we've found. The majority of the runs have been 1/8th, some quarter mile stuff. We started...

I spend my weekends at the drag strip, and there are a TON of young people there. Either racing or watching. Hot rodding didn't stop in 1965, it's...
This car is ALL win! And the steering wheel makes it just that much cooler
I do all sorts of stuff, from off topic drag cars and motorcycles, lowriders, etc. the winter project is a 62 bel air. I'd like to do a shoebox...
There's a kid that actually gets it. There are all types of auto industries now, not like the early days. Those kids that are taking 4 cyl engines...
That right there is excellent advice.
So I am just about done with one long term project and I have a short term project waiting in the wings. Just a winter project, suspension and...
The other thing to consider is that this has become a very expensive hobby. The average 18 year old can't go out and buy a model a that's done...
With the amount of "young people" on this site building some pretty incredible hot rods and customs, I'd say the future of the hobby is just fine.
Sorry, I should have posted the link to his thread, there's some pretty amazing fab work on the entire car...
Take a peek at how Mat did his rear. Without reading through his entire thread, or asking him (it's 5:30 in the morning), I'm just guessing that...
Damn, one of the MANY times I wished I lived on the other coast!
I can't get enough of the stories of his exploits. Racing today is shit. There's no innovation, everyone has the same car, same setups. I like to...

Well damn, I guess I just like to do things the hard way! When I read the spec, I didn't realize that the single spine uprite was a proper...
First post says steel, I took it as mild steel, not CM. Dre, gotta ques. A lot of these old cars are butt welded where the shoulder hoop comes...
It's probably worth a couple grand in parts, front axle, steering, wheels, etc. The steel frame is a bummer though Posted using the Full Custom...
Holy shit that's a bunch of MPH! Was it spinning the tires?

I seen that 57 ford on fri and was instantly in love!! I went over to get some pics but it was already put away. I was too busy to get any other...

That right there is pretty cool
