My 63, every bit a street/strip car. Old school 289, automatic, low 12s@110mph.[ATTACH]
Going to get it back to original as raced condition. It was missing a lot of parts, but I've managed to find a lot of that stuff. The hardest part...
Here's a few pics. I know it's a 66, but there has been mention of this car, and Bud's other drag cars on the HAMB, so I thought we might let this...
Thank you, that one has a history of it's own as well. [ATTACH] Sent from my SM-G930VL using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
I'll post pics. I've been slowly putting it back together as parts are found and time allows. Sent from my SM-G930VL using The H.A.M.B. mobile app

So I have to update this old post. I was mistaken and the car in question actually was what I thought. It was rough and did not match what little...

Weather looks decent coming up too. Better than the last few years. Sent from my SM-G930VL using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Saved this AWB Ranchero. Rough, but it'll get restored.[ATTACH] Sent from my SM-G930VL using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
I got more done in my 2 car than I have in larger shops. Just bought a new house with a 40x60 2 story shop, so I'll probably never get anything...
Saw this Ford about 20 years ago as it was getting ready to go to it's new owner in Canada. [ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH] Sent from my SM-G930VL using...
I'll be there, bringing a guy I recently introduced to the hobby, he's pretty excited about it. Sent from my SM-G930VL using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
[ATTACH] Found this recently. A little too new, but it has been mentioned in other threads, where it went nobody knew. Turned up in VT where it's...
It does have the intake cast with the head. Mount the intake, drill some holes and there you go. I thought I had a pic of the engine but don't see...
I'm using a 3 speed out of a 63 Falcon. I know their limits, I blew up the original trans my junior year in HS (1990) If I run across a later...
[ATTACH] Winter finally hit Vermont. Very late this year. This was one end of the driveway this AM.
Mostly OT. Had a bunch of Chevelles, wish I had the gold 70 SS 396 th400 3.73 back. Sold it for $2500, thought I made out good. They were a dime...
Wouldn't even think about it. No way. If you've got an old car that somehow beat the odds and made it all these years, why screw it up now. I...
I run 16 initial, 34 total, all in by 2800rpm. 8 is really low. Put 12-14 in it, see where the total is, back it down to 32, checking to see what...
Unless I missed it, you never did say what you're running for timing, initial, total, what the curve is. Lots of good information here, but I...
When I was 14 my cousin, also 14, who lived next door to us bought a 64 Chevy C10 that had been someone's custom at one time. It had a non running...
Awesome work, chop is spot on! List it now, bet you won't have it week.
A 68-69 C4 is easy to find since the cars they came in are being modified every day. It's still the 24 spline input but has the later NON green...
[ATTACH] I've always run mismatched wheels. As a kid I remember seeing guys do that in the 70s and think it looks cool on some cars. The Falcon...
[ATTACH] 8" rear, 4.10 gears. Held up just fine with a 4 spd and a auto for over 20 years. No reason to change it unless it fails. Yeah its a 289...
This happened in the early 90s at a cruise night in Fulton NY. I had put a couple spark plugs in the exhaust on my 63 Fairlane Squire wagon, and...
Lots of guys drive their cars locally a couple thousand miles over a summer with no issues but wouldn't think of driving that far in one shot....
