Guess I should have waited until model car/art day...
Florida? I'm not from here, I just live here...cardboard guy is Italian, I think...and Cranfills Gap...that's not TOO far from Temple, TX.
Cardboard and glue. Somehow makes me think of a friend of my Dad's somewhere around Cranfills Gap that has sheetmetal cutouts of cars painted to...
Agree that it's its own thing...but it still makes me nostalgic for the days of thrashing to go to Ft. Fisher. 7am with my Dad, scrubbing a 55...
Damn nice to see all those pics from Ft. Fisher! My dad and I would drive in from Stephenville and go to the rod run and the street mini-nats...
Well, if they're doing quality work, they're going to use a rack lift....
Two, I believe...or as the Troopers told me "They gave you two, that means you have to display two."
Hell, build the 6...headers, duals, and glasspacks...Edelbrock AFB or an old Carter AFB...bore it out, put 283 pistons in it....
Guess the question is what's the difference between a 57 Olds and 57 Chevy rear end. IIRC, the 57 chevy rear under Dad's '55 was a bolt in...
What zman said. The vacuum switch you're talking about is for the TH350c, (c stands for lockup converter on the 3spd). The 200r4 didn't exist...
They're 5x5 bolt pattern, aren't they? The steering shaft is pretty cool, with U-joints instead of a rag joint.
Man, that looks great...cruising vessel already. I'd go with the "40 years and a full car" lowering, slap some 7 inch chrome reverse and baby...
It hurts to look at...I'll never sell my 80 Monte Carlo in Tallahassee, not with knowing what fate will await it. You just wait, someone's going...
Yeah, a friend of mine has a camaro front rails under his 59...which is now living in 56 disguise. Welder by trade, it's hard to see where the...
I hear ya...I hope to be getting the hell out of Tally in a year and a half, my texile (as opposed to exile) should be over...Austin is still the...
Thinking the good thoughts...you know that everyone that views is doing the same, whether or not they post on the thread. Would have said that...
60's style square headlights? Didn't think those existed as sealed beam lights until 76 or so...
Yeah, got an old Hurst 3spd shifter that needs to go into my old man's 55. Column linkage is kinda tricky to get into second without hanging it....
Weatherford, eh? I was born there. Looking good...
Great story...but now I need closure due to sour grapes guy...just assure me that the tail isn't rotted and I'll be happy...and post pics of her...
Damn, I was hoping to be the first to say "Viva Santos!" But, lose the wrestlers on the hood, and either lose the flames or make them...
Ray Buck is having fun with his '64 Chevy long wide... http://www.chevyasylum.com/64c10/64c10_01.html It's in the background shots of Bonneville...

I think they're '62 Crown Imperial tail lights.
Something like this for the windshield? Or something similar but slightly taller? I'm guessing you mean a single windshield, to go with the...
I don't understand...are you proposing some sort of shield that protects the occupants from the wind? Car looks good, though...love the V-8...
But black and white film is Traditional! If you're using Kodachrome, you might as well be putting billet on the car.
Yeah...do you have room to store the whole car? You'll want the wiring harness...the Painless wiring harness for TPI will just put the computer...
Gotta be an Austin A40. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austin_A40_Sports http://www.britishmm.co.uk/history.asp?id=81 [IMG]
