I'm thinking about getting some custom vinyl cut for the back side windows of the wagon. Any of you fellas have a good name or logo for a made up...
If you can hear your gears your exhaust isn't loud enough! T-5's and T-56's aren't Lexus quiet but I've never heard anyone have a serious...
Born with it.
Great writeup, Denise. Thanks again for your unbelievable hospitality. It was great to meet you and all the other HAMBers. Autorama was my...
Looks like a blast! Drive the wheels off it! Pleeease put on a dual pot master before you drive your kids around, though.
I believe GM full size stuff was all distinct until 1971. I know my 1960 Buick is definitely not set up the same an Imapala.
This is the guy right here
If you want it to go to a HAMB'er PM BigChief. He's local and I know he just finished a waste oil burning shop heater. He might want some or all...
Please realize that when a motor is running on e85 you will see about 35% reduction in fuel economy. E85 is about 35% less money than gas so...
For those of you who left early or are wondering who the secret agent squirrel is I'll let you in on it. When Denise, Mike, and I returned to her...
Jello shot to Denise, anyone? It was great to meet all you folks and that party was a blast and a half. I'll have you all know that me, Mike,...
Uh I don't think I'm kidding. 409 Impalas were hot stuff. No one ever had a comparable Rocket Olds or Nailhead Buick?
Id love to show it off but its under a snowdrift at the moment. Just picture one light blue with a white top and bubbles in the lower quarters....
Anybody ever build something from this era into a racer? What about back in the day? Were these like the forgotten years between gassers and...
no one?
I've come to grips with the fact that I can't afford to build a hotrod so I'm just gonna stick with the 60 LeSabre that I have. Seems like...
'poop' is without argument the funniest word in the English language. Just say it and try not to laugh.
For the visually impaired: (myself somewhat included) Hold your control key and scroll your mouse wheel down a click or two. Cool, huh?
Thanks, TagMan. Ive heard of that place before but have never been. Its even real close to my house. Ha, when I go into the local (Chili)...
Actually its the hardline leading up to the hose. All the hoses and literally every other pice of hardline was replaced when the car was...
Ok bench bled the master again, the right way this time, and started bleeding the rest of the car again. I noticed a "kissing" noise under the...
Yup made sure the brakes were adjusted before I started today. Apparently no-one at any of the commie parts store chains even knows what a bench...
Yeah thats what I have always seen too but the master was brand new and came with the plugs along with instructions for a "new and improved" bench...
Hey, Fraz. Thanks for the tips on the swap by the way. One question for you; Where did you put the washer fluid tank after you put on the bigger...
I did bench bleed the master (plugged ports, stroked piston lots and lots of times) but it is very posssible that one or both reservoirs ran dry...
Yeah that sounds about right I guess. Ought to keep me out of trouble for the rest of today anyways...
Just finished all the plumbing and stuff involved in putting a dual piston master cylinder and matching power booster for a 4 wheel drum 69...
Why does it have to be a '32? Look at later Pontiac grilles. They might be cloer to the classic duece shape.
wow ever tried chopping a top with that bad boy?
GM 4 and 6 boxes have a 14 spline input shaft as opposed to 26 spline on V8 models. This is true EXCEPT for 93-2002 camaro and firebird V6...
