A few years back I had a buddy with an O/T mid 70's Cutlass. He asked for help coming up with a custom plate for his car. He loved my idea of "T...
These early homebuilt hot rods always intrigued me. There were no catalogs to thumb through to pick out your performance parts from. These early...
I know this is a Hot Rod firewall thread but, can we see some Customs with white firewalls?
BarryA, do you have any pictures of this one with it all primered/painted one color? I'm not sure I agree with your customers design choice but it...
Well, I'm glad to hear that I didn't just imagine these safety running lights. It does sound like maybe it was just a Midwest thing. I would have...
I was born in 1959 so needless to say I grew up in the 60's & 70's. I seem to remember when I was quite young seeing a lot of cool cars (or so I...
If anybody is interested in these GM trim rings the part number is 15545387. Maybe they are still available still from te dealership? Doc
We may not all agree on how these cars are being cared for but, that's one of the nice things about this country of ours, everyone is entitled to...
Nice looking project. I think the Fleetline has to be one of the nicest looking classic 4 doors ever built. Doc
So it was more like "Upset Max"? :D Doc
Thanks. You pretty much nailed what I'm going to try to do with my build. I've had a lot of people ask if I plan on chopping it and I really don't...
I've got a '51 Styleline Deluxe and I'm looking for a Photoshop paint job. I borrowed this picture from the internet. If it belongs to anybody...
I try to make it a point to check out the builds that are posted here every week. I am terribly slow building models because I just don't have a...
Inquiring minds want to know. What was the reason for the delay? Doc
Back in '75 I was 15 years old with a "learner's permit" and I couldn't wait to get my driver's license and a car. There was a family that lived...
Beautiful seats. Absolutely beautiful!!! I bet bomber crews would have loved seats this nice. Doc
This is the first time I've seen this thread and I have to say what a beautiful wagon. I hope that you haven't decided to drill holes in your...
I've got a '51 Chevy and I'm going to need to restore the wheel. What is the best product to use to fill the cracks?
Maybe here? http://www.mooneyesusa.com/shop/product.php?cPath=188_58&products_id=2259 Doc
Yes, it was in Rockford. Doc
There used to be a place kind of like that here. The place used to be an auto parts distributer/warehouse. Someone told me that I should try to...
I have to say that straight from the factory I really don't care for these T-birds but, with just a little custom work they really look Kustom....
These are really cool. I never knew that there were so many different makes. I've thought about looking for a set that match left to right and...
While I don't have any useable information for you I want to wish you luck in finding out about your car. I haven't been a member here too long...
I'll keep my eyes peeled in Rockford. Doc
I remember a number of years ago, maybe the mid 70's, I think it was Hot Rod magazine that published a story about Smokey innovative...
I'm going to be watching this one. I'd love to have a panel as a daily driver. When I was about 21/22 years old (early 80's) I had a friend with...
I think I better go back and read the OP because I missed the part where he asked for opinions if it was a good idea. I thought he was asking if...
