Im confident that I have a 75-79 skylark/apollo clip. Its an x-body design, which includes the 75' and up nova, which is the same as the 70-81...
Looks like a 4.75 bolt pattern. A little google research and we may have a winner with a skylark. Apparently, the skylark, firebird, and camaro...
Hey guys, I bought my 55 pickup about 2 years ago, and havent done much with it since. Ive been thinkin about ditching the leafs in the back and...
and yes, you can extend a 4-door into a 2-door. I did it with two sets of 4-doors, but its just doesnt work out. All the window cranks, runners,...
Do a search for 2-door to 4-door conversion. I did a tech article awhile back, so did So-Cal Tex. You will find everything you need to know in...
Yea that TPI setups was not the best looking unit out there. And it seriously runs out of breath at around 4500rpm. I remember I guy i went to...
Is your entire right header glowing or just one cylinder? If it is just one cylinder I'd look to see if you don't have an exhaust valve stuck...
Yes you can. Its standard practice when using filler to add many layers, rather than trying to pile it all on at once. Work with your hammer and...
Here's another question... do yall have "hot-rod buddies" that you know or nay? I build my cars with me, myself, and I. Nobody cares when i get a...
We'll take ya Stephen... but just this once! haha, I will be 23 in just about a month. My Father is into cars a bit, but not nearly like me. He...

Just out of my own morbid curiosity, how many folks here are of college age and younger? What brought you to the dark side of traditional rods and...
Wow guys, Thanks for all the compliments! I look back on this thread every so often just to see if there is any new buzz. It is still alive and...
Thats a good question! haha. Olathe is in western colorado. North of Montrose, south of Delta. And about an hour and a half southeast of Grand...
You know how they say that you don't know what you have until its gone? Well, tonight i realized how much better the HAMB is compared to other...

nobody even has a slight idea?
Hey guys, im trying to nail down the plan for my 235. What is the most amount of power a stock '56 235 bottom end could handle (after rebuild)?...
maybe you guys can shed some light on my situation. Im in colorado, i have 3 cars with no title, but i do have a bill of sale for each car...
hey squablow, im pretty sure this thing would bolt right up to a factory 2-door sedan. I used my 57 2-door as a template and measured everything....
yep, i would imagine converting a 4dr wagon would be even easier than a sedan, because you wouldnt have to deal with the "dip" in the body line....
The front of the quarter panel is constructed by severely abusing the rear door with cut-off wheels, shears, and a welder... ahaha! here is my...
Hey guys, just finished up one of my lengthened 56 doors, took a few hours. I used the front half of my old 55 door, and the back half of the 56...
You will probably get a better search result if you type in "air over leaf." That is what most guys call that setup. you remove ALOT of the leaves...
Thanks pir8darryl. Hey, i am planning to do another 2-door conversion on a 56 i recently picked up. I am going to join 2 sets of 4-door front...
I guess its one of those times where a guy must admit when he's wrong. I was was out of line pir8darryl. I apologize. I didn't watch the movie all...
Edited due to my own retarded comments. If anyone wants a bit more information on a tri-five 2-door conversion...heres some links...
Weird, my old 56' 235 doesnt leak a drop. And im pretty sure its all original. The car sat in a field for 15+ years, and only recently been fired...
