My wife recently purchased a 1966 Ford Custom 500. It's a great driving car with a 289 V8 and an automatic. We enjoyed driving it a lot this...
True, but I might want to get the stuff back off at some point. Memories of my dirtbike days seem to be that stuff is a real pain at times.

Well, I am Canadian, and I buy a lot of antique and hotrod parts in the US. The price is cheaper, and the availability: much better. The best...
A friend of mine built his on a thunderbird frame. I don't remember the year. He said it went together easy. If you are not redoing an...
