I've got my dads '57 snap-on rollaway. It has the date and Snap-on stamped on the rear lower panel. I'd guess a newer box would also have the date...

I once built a 1960 Humber Super Snipe with a '58 Cad 365 in it. I also had a VW with a 225 Olds v6. Before I left So. Cal I built an early,...
Has anyone ever visited R&C's lost tin mine? Remember the story? They gave, very vague, clues to this place in Nevada where they had taken...
A good tool to open up the cracks and help in the "V" groove is a spiral cut bit like those used with a Roto-zip tool. I have been using some 2...
The nose is different than most. You want a Continental engine. My dad traded some body work for one(and it's trailer) with a broken front axel. I...
I always thought these were beautiful cars. I'd like to build a dual cowl version of a '36-36'.
Smaller engine but a powerhouse anyway is the '66 and later 290. Dad had one that we drag raced and did very well with. We lost the tailshaft...
As an addition to the above. Dad was a jalopy racer during the late 40's, and we always were involved one way or another. In 1966 he bought a...

I did, eventually,. A guy named Rico had a '55 Chevy. Front bumperless, powder blue. Nicest car on the lot. Then I got handed a kelly green '56,...
WOW!. Very nice. The Smith "Jiggler" is very rare. It's only the second one I have ever seen. I like the work on the stand too. He had some time...
I'd think looking in the ship yards going overseas would be a good bet. I hear many cars go east because of the better money and less eye's to ID it.
Jamar, Neal, Empi and others in the sand set. Try Dans performance products.
Hi I think thats AK steel. Aluminum killed steel(probably spelled wrong). It's very formable.

As a 17 year old I had a '56 210 2 dr. Chevy with a 283 and 30" glasspacks. I got pulled into a spot inspection near Corona Calif. I got cited for...
See also TVR. Built around the same time. Some had Rover engines some had superchargers. Note the very short rear overhang.
excellent. Thanks for the help all. I had seen the Honest Charlie bikes, and had heard of the guy who actually built them (on another forum). I...
Thanks Shaggy. Thats about whet I suspected. I've been kicking around the idea of a V8 60 in a motorcycle. I know it's been done, but I want to...
oops, looks like most of the pic's are of the Panhard.

Hello all. Can you tell me what the weight and dimentions are on a V8 60? I've seen the page with the bigger flathead in it, but it isn't the same...
Hi. Could I ask a favor? Do you know the weight of the V8 60 by itself? Do you know the dimentions, height, width, length? I found these for the...
