I search and search the web for info and examples of repair or fabrication of big, almost flat panels like '60s hoods and trunk lids. I haven't...
I just got home Saturday evening after driving to a small town near Twin Falls, Idaho to check on what I was told was a "T-bucket and a roadster"....
Yes I have searched; I just can't find the answer. I am currently working on my '62 Olds 88. I have finished all fabrication and welding of...
Finally got a decent TIG welder, a Lincoln Precision TIG 225. I have been slowly getting better but now wonder about a cooling system. When...
I bought my bodywork sanding boards from Scotton Mfg at the Pomona Swap Meet last year, and a few years ago also. Now I can't find any website of...
I couldn't resist sobbing over the cars I was raised on, so I thought I would share my thoughts from my useless blog......
It doesn't show online, but the local HF carries a new design that looks to be identical to the Woodward Fab and Baileigh entry-level floor...
[IMG] I thought welding was over! This seam where the 1/4 passenger 1/4 panel meets the body just behind the rear window has just been...
I got the '62 Dynamic 88 from my little brother, and it runs perfectly with 68,000 miles. My little brother keeps warning me that it needs...

[IMG] [IMG] This is the cut off piece from the middle. [IMG] [IMG] Since I've been listening to OCD instead of sound judgment, I decided to...
I promise I've searched and searched the archives...but I am still a little on the know-nothing side! Here's the real question: If I made a...
So I bought 15X4.5 Wheel Vintiques solids for my little '27 Roadster, and they turned out perfect, plus were not too expensive. Now, I am ready...
I need help guys...and yes, I have been searching the archives! I have my tire choices narrowed down for my new '30 coupe project, but I'm not...
I saw a picture of your black coupe in an old post about favorite Model A's. Any chance you could tell me what wheel and tire size you used? It...
Sorry about the wimpy generic question, but I am in the dark about lowering a car, especially my '62 dynamic 88. I am giving it a very modest,...
Hey guys, I hope my question isn't stupid! I made the entire harness for my little '27 Roadster, and everything seems to be working fine except...
Just letting a little joy out about my rusty bondo junker. After many mock-ups, I have nearly completed the flooring and seat frame in my old '27...
I have searched before...just wondering if anyone has done a '62 Olds in a "lowrider" or custom theme. I really like my '62 Dynamic 88, and my...
