[ATTACH] What am I supposed to brace myself for?
[ATTACH] I went by the office of Denton’s Auto Parts yesterday. “No Trespassing” sign and no one there.I hope that his son took it over and won’t...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] I found a good use for the exterior of my shed. These are older pics, I have added several more.
Short sections of railroad timbers make excellent cribbing. If you get under there and get crushed, we’ll never speak to you again!
What fun we ( my brother, sister, and I) had back in the ‘70s roaming and playing in the local junkyards. Our father owned a paint and body shop....
[ATTACH] Hey! What’s my car doing parked next to the one in the foreground!:eek:
[ATTACH] I’m following this thread, let’s see more pics
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Nothing wrong with a good old 216, but a 235 disguised to fool most of the people most of the time as a 216 can be a good choice...
Damn! I can’t believe that is sitting that close to the road! I’m surprised that nobody has stolen it. Sadly most would steal it and haul it away...
I’m in a similar boat. My father (81) has his 1st car, ‘29 A, but no one in the family is overly interested in it. It’s stock, yellow, and worth...
[ATTACH] Here’s one I owned back in the late ‘80s, early ‘90s. Fresh from the body shop I worked at.
The original 216 had a block heater, unfortunately it fell apart when I tried to extract it. I did save the cord which sticks through the grill. I...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] A couple more. Certainly not the worst that the ‘50 has ever seen, it’s a North Dakota car!
[ATTACH] It’s that time again! I measured 9 1/2” of snow here, so I thought I would post a pic or two of “snow cars”. Feel free to add your own.
[ATTACH] I’ll trade you. You can be buried in this instead!
A lot of people would tell you that I’m so full of S#*+ that my last ride will probably be through a manure spreader!
[ATTACH] Don’t forget to include your city inspection plate!
I’d love to have a dual mount front clip for mine! But I will be content just to put the car back on the road.
I don’t have an engine, but I do own a gold painted 4 bbl intake for a ‘ 56 265. Not likely to ever use it, the carburetor is too pricey for me.
Even a lot of the cool cars from the ‘50s are not very common. Most people would not believe that the mid fifties Fords sold as well as the...
A very Merry Christmas to one and all![ATTACH]
[ATTACH] When you get it finished you can park it in my driveway. I promise to use it for Smoky Mountain Tours! This parts car is located in a...
[ATTACH] Certainly not forgotten by me. I love the roofline on the 49-52 GMs.
A timely topic. I too just bought the tool and will be tackling this issue on the Turbo 400 under my ‘55 Chevrolet.
This started from finding a few of others lost hub caps/ wheel covers. The pics are a couple of years old.[ATTACH] [ATTACH] It’s even worse now!
Jefferson, it looks like you have a better head start above what I’m working with![ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] I’ll be following your posts and see...
The Pontiac is definitely a candidate for rescue. Chevrolet rockers and floor pan are readily available and will work on a Pontiac.
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] The wagon is a Pontiac, not a Chevy. I will have to return after a hard freeze, the...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] More “Tales From the Car Crypt”! I made another run to a local junkyard.
We’re practically twins! Back to the subject at hand. A friend recently did a rebuild of a ‘61 model 283 and said he could not find the correct...
