Brand new 55-57 Chevy aluminum radiator, V-8 mount. Only removed from box to take pics. Very thoughtful wife bought it for me as a present, but...
Thanks, man. I appreciate that. I do still wish I had a 2-dr sometimes, but I think I'm gonna leave this one the way it is, get it to pass tech,...
My avatar does the talkin' for me in this thread! Oh, and Safariknut, your friend John Poole has good taste in cars...
Yet another positive review for Bill. He picked up my 56 Chevy this morning in Columbus, OH and delivered it to my new house in Northern VA by 5...
+1 for Painless. I rewired my '56 with one several years ago...couldn't be easier. Should I find myself needing to rewire another vehicle in the...
Here's a '40 Ford from the Funny Car nationals at MCIR this past weekend. Photo credit to Mike Grosso, Outlaw Photo.
I've always been a fan of the early 60s Econoline/A100/Corvair vans. When done right, they look really cool. And you can pack the whole tribe in...
I bet my heap would STILL overheat...
Those hat-lamps are also great for finding your treestand at 5:30 AM. Tree branches to the face aren't as fun as they sound. I have the headband...
We called them slugbusters. They work great.
I used hog rings on my '56 headliner. Just squeezed a few through the fabric (well, vinyl, anyway) around the bows, and voila. Sure, it looks...
Rock, out of curiosity, will the voltmeter read higher than 12 or so (with all the aforementioned accessories on) if you blip the throttle or rev...

Just got home. Gotta say, I was very impressed with my first Poor Man's experience! Big thanks to Booboo and Metal Man for their willingness to...
Truckedup, I agree. What I typed above was what was going through my head, save for the dialogue in quotes. At no time did I argue or try to...
Needed a set of valve cover gaskets for my car, so I head on over to the local "outta-parts" store. As I walk through the door, I get the, "Hi,...
Okay, silly question, but if this is a single-day event, why the camping? Is that for people who come in the night prior? I live in the local...
Thanks, RK. I'll have to check out that Tim Horton's cruise. Went to Wholly Joe's last week, they make a decent Italian beef sandwich. Some...
Okay, so I've been in Cleveland all week, and I made it a goal to hit a cruise-in every night while I'm here. And what I've discovered has been,...
