I bought my 64 with no keys, couldn't find them anywhere. A 67-72 chevy truck ignition switch works really well. All spades are labeled clearly...
Bed frames are nice, they make a great tool cart if you do not have roller boxes. Just throw them on and roll. I personally would not use a bed...
A manual transmission, Cupholder, radio with aux input (cassete adapter is what I usually run). A 3 spoke wheel a few inches smaller than OE....
As a last resort, you could get a sheet of lean copper and take it to a machine shop or sheetmetal shop. They could bore all holes, and cut it...
Patina is original color paint that has deteriorated, from rust or other natural causes. No rot though.
I took out 10 leaves from the spring pack of my one ton 64, that only took out 3 inches. Granted I had 16 in total, a few as overload. I would...
In 1991 my father built a 1973 Harley FLH Full Dresser in his Condo. Rolling chassis in the living room, on a coffee table, Built 80" in the...
I think a smaller diesel would work well in a rod, just has to look good instead of a spaghetti bowl of wires and pipes. I am a Detroit fan...
Damn, that looks really slick. It looks like a factory cowl induction hood, spot on!
Coil saturation is the main benefit. I have never had to run dual points, I have run dual mags on other stuff, but I usually run an HEI or...
Started out building Harley's (from basket cases, 1936 EL was the first) with my old man at about age 8, started at cars at about 13, pulled a '63...
the sheetmetal one is for an SM420. Pulled that same one off my 64 Chevy dually. It would fit on your AD since the SM was used 1947-1967, and your...
My main ride is my 1964 Chevy C30 Dually. Loudest ride in the lot, and the oldest. Looks real good next to all the Mustangs, Hummers and Prius'....
It seems to me that Holleys will run well the first time it is tuned, but gets thrown off. I am personally an AFB person. Only when something...
I think I will patent that coating as Donkey Crust, There is very little rust on the engine, leaving clean grey Iron. We are thinking Chevy Blue...
You couldn't have said it better Newrider. The NV4500 should make it pull about the same as the SM420, if not more. I can't wait to be on the...
$91,000.
White Zombie, Tool, Primus, Clutch, Hank III, Ministry, Unida, any desert rock really. I crank that when working on any of my trucks. I've heard...
I like the way a 63 sits with a straight axle. I can't nor want to imagine a 67 Galaxie 500 jacked. They look too good low slung with dual cannon...
B-12 has never worked for me, on motorcycle or car carbs. I use either Gumout or CRC's cleaner. I had a 5 gallon pail of Industrial carb dip, but...
I came home form Elmhurst Hospital (Chicago) in a 1967 Chevy Impala 2dr. 327 and a 4 Speed.
Yunick's engines were flowed quite differently, and the heads had a lot of portwork done. It would be overkill for an sbc.
Also I forgot that I found about a dollar in change in the radio of my 64 chevy, all from the 70's. Also found a 20 ton floor jack along with R12...
I run a real Vietnam pineapple grenade(dead fuse and no charge, totally safe) on my 64, scares the crap outta people. I wonder how many pissed off...
Good lookin' Fairlane. Like the Chev HEI, most reliable ignition I have ever seen.
A 2 door is nice to drive your girlfriend to the movies, or cruise to high school in. A 4 door is nice when you want to get laid, or bomb around...
Scrap has been in the shithouse here for years. However, lead and copper are up, but all the meth addicts around here make it very sketchy to cash...
"Damn, that sedan is fast." "Hey hey hey! I said the safe word!"
I would recommend the Ford 2.0 and 2.3s found in the Rangers. I have also seen a Pontiac Quad Four used in a hot rod. It was stripped down with a...
The trans code means it has a 4 speed, synchronized. It would make a slick hot rod, just don't chop an insane amount outta the pillars, none if...
Separate names with a comma.
