So after seeing the Alexandria article I'm curious to see more truck conversions. Post any pics you got new, old, unfinished, or even plain bad.
I think you may have missed the point of the project.
This is one sick looking custom. I must say against pancaking the hood or messing with the rear body work. I think that with ss mesh or chrome...
What an awesome story and find. I am subscribed and will check daily for updates.
It's got some 47-48 buick panels for sure. The front fenders are for sure.
I've been perusing a lot of youtube as of late to watch as much up to the late 60s as possible just to get a real feel of what was going on. I...
If you're debating about it this bad I would keep it. 1959 Cadillacs in general are starting to command higher prices all the time. They're an...
Find out if you can machine your spindles to the right size to take another off the shelf disc from a common car like say an 87 caprice? Then the...
Honestly go covert on the AACA forums and go to Packard section and tell them you want to do a resto and a good engine will usually come out of...
Please tell me you're kidding right now right? A beater packard cool, a doodle bug/farm hack not so much.
Follow as many body lines as you can while not treading into looking like a the beginnings of a Panel paint job. Try and keep them all flowing the...
I know my dad would kill to have that! Nice score.
Hopped up old Cadillac v8s sound awesome through 2 inch straight pipes. I also like any of the pre 1940s engines with more than 8 cylinders.
I would rock this in a heart beat.
Vince Gardners Thunderbird Italien is still alive,well, and fully restored!
Anyone remember this one? I was 13 when I first read about the guy that restored this. It was a hot rod article in the early 2000s. Had a great...
When this thread started I was thinking "man that's rough makes my project look good" now its the opposite:D It's been awesome seeing this car...
That is an awesome find, I can't wait to hear it on a video. To the guys saying fix all the cobble forget it. Fix a few things that need fixing...
I'd buy one of those headers if it would fit in a 47 special? Cant tell if that's for the 320 or a 248/263
I'm from Pandora, 24 miles West of Findlay 20ish miles North of Lima. By the way rusty loved your truck.
I'm trying to find some yards in Ohio/FT. Wayne area that have bunch of 30s,40s, and 50s cars. Mainly Buick stuff. I've been to stark auto in...
Ive got these of my old 48 roadmaster and my new 47 special. Might not be much but I really like my special and really miss the roadmaster. If...
Having not been on in a long time I have to say you really have done some great work! Cant wait to see the finished product.
Will the 472-500 motors bolt right in? or whats all involved with that swap anyways? My 429 is not in the greatest shape so this might be the way...
One more thing summit racing is the cheapest outlet for the rims and they include a center cap with the purchase of each rim they vary in price...
I had a set that was actually really rusty looking when I got them but they polished up great with the rust barely visible. If you keep them clean...
Alright, performance parts are hard to find, but does anyone know what parts will swap between the earlier caddy mills (331-390) and the 429?
So I'm buying a slightly off topic 1966 Cadillac Calais 2 Door hardtop. The motor is stuck from sitting but other than that its near perfect and...
