All true, but the nostalgia effect would be great. This might offer a little encourgement. [MEDIA]
Yep, but the physical can make you mental. So very true. When ever you get up to start your day, take a minute and think: I'm breathing, I'm...
Me, too! At my age, and having wrenched and hammered on stuff all my life, I can comiserate with you all. Right now, in this nice cold...
Are you talking front or rear? It is dark, now, but I will check mine on the morrow and let you know. Just as an aside, the front wheel sits an...
In the early sixties, I, and a few others raced on "UniLug" patterned wheels without any problems; we all ran autocross/slalom, and drags. That...
'51 Ford 2 dr. sed., '57 Chevy, '57 Chevy, '64 Pontiac LeMans, '62 Corvair (Bride's car), '64 Corvette roadster, '68 Chevelle SS 396 (first family...
Your clutch chatter may not be a result of the oil, wherever it is coming from. If you didn't replace your engine mounts, or if they are possibly...
Glad to hear you all had a good time. We passed a few of you on Thursday as we were heading south to OC for the weekend.
1931 Ford Cabriolet (I think), might have been a roadster - it had a rumble seat. My two boys rode home in a '68 Chevelle SS396 with a lumpy...
Go to "Classified, Parts, Search This Thread" and type in "Intake" - then peruse away; there are a lot of them in there.
'88 and up are a good fit just as they are, but I have seen everything from Caddy to FoMoCo stuff to Mopar. Actually, rebuilding the stocker is...
Here's another "I had one of those" posts. My Bride had a '62 Coupe when we got hitched in '64, and like I was with her, I just couldn't keep my...
Nevada, too.. The lady at the Assessors office, when I went in to get my Veterans tax voucher told me that eight years is a cutoff: at nine years...
I am shocked to hear this, to say the least. My prayers and condolences to Jay's family and friends. It is funny how a couple of guys can travel...
Back in "the day", late fifties/early sixties, a six inch rim was pretty much the standard for stockers, and running an 8.20 x 15 on a 6 x 15 rim...
Good thread, OT or not. I'm an "Old Truck Nut", myself, and can remember times from the mid forties when I first started to notice them. My dad...
Glad to hear you're coming to visit; lots of stuff to see and do; much more than time usually allows.
Historical perspective: We used to call them "Kearney"s when i started in the power line construction business in the late 1950's; had 'em all...
On the tail end of a three and a half year active duty tour in Uncle Sam's Canoe Club, stationed in San Diego. Drivin' my first '57 Chevy,...
I don't like those suckers, either; at least, not from the standpoint of an old worn out fart with less than youthful eyes and many years of abuse...
I can't say as I have known too many men who haven't at one time or another. I don't think it is so much a maturity issue as it is a man thing;...
Yep, and got the scars to prove it; still messing with 'em.
Those look just like the ones I have on the rack in my garage (sans tires); mine are 15 x 7, ran 'em on my '64 Corvette with Firestome racing...
Good read as usual, C9. I see where you must have gotten the inspiration for your vocation (wink - couldn't get the smilie to work). Reading you...
Stop!! You're giving me nightmares - shades of times long ago and far far away. The one looks to be a '65, don't know for sure about the other...
Lived just down the road (literally, 2 miles from the end of the shutdown area) from 1969 to 1995. Had my Chevelle over a few times in '71-'73....

It was very common, especially in rural areas, to use whatever power source came to hand for any need. I can remember the fans in citrus groves...
I know, Cruzr. I think most folks, as they start to get older, look back at their youth, and contemplate resurrecting parts of it; I have checked...
Ahhh!!! Shades of my misbegotten youth. My first bike was a Schwinn Whizzer - sans engine - my Dad bought it for me the Christmas before my...
