I just brought home my new project; a '39 DeLuxe Tudor. I've wanted one my whole life, and I can barely beleive it's mine! It has sat in a...
I'm hungry for some examples of the styles (wheels, paint, engine, interior, etc.) used regionally around the Pac Northwest. We always here...
I just picked up a '63 Bel Air two-door post, pretty cheap. It needs a ton of bodywork, but is real solid. 283,pg, manual everything. Anyway,...
find a rear pinion yoke (shop manual calls it a "companion flange") for my '57 Pontiac rearend? The original has part of the cast ears busted...
I did a search and came close, but didn't quite find the info. I need. The rear pinion yoke on my '57 Pontiac rearend has part of the cast...
The '57 Pontiac spit out its driveshaft on the freeway yesterday. Called AAA, got her towed home, all that good stuff. But the driveshaft...
The 347 in my Pontiac has always had a slight "tapping" noise to it. I've been told by Poncho guys to run MMO through the oil and change it every...

I bought a '54 Chevy this fall that I thought was a good deal for $1,000. Turns out it had a cracked head AND a cracked block. Something I wish...
Here are a couple of crappy shots of my '57 more-door hardtop. I have some Lancer caps on the way from PakRat 32. I want to lower it front and...

For all of you fellow children of the seventies, our favorite CARtoon's strip is back in print, between the covers of Car Craft. Now, before...

Anybody know of a disc brake conversion I can use on my '57 Pontiac? The ol' drums are showing their shortcomings in city traffic. And I would...
Okay. This might ruffle some feathers. But, why is it that guys are building primered, straight piped, ground-scraping rods and TRAILERING them...
Driving home from the Road Agents' Rumble, the Pontiac died on the 84 in Connecticut. Acted like it was running out of gas, hiccupped, stalled,...
