Denise, remember you really only have to count the birthdays that end in five or zero. Whether you are 'counting" this one or not: HAPPY...
I'd be interested as well.
I can recall our fender skirts being stolen in the '50s as well. Some guys went to the extreme of taping razor blades up inside the wheel well to...
if I remember correctly the snap on discs were available about the same time as the screw on kind. My '53 Ford had both in 1958.
uh, if you're talking about the ones I bought in 1957, I did buy them from a local speed shop who got them from Dean Moon, I guess that made them...
thanks for the help, you confirmed my suspicions. I ran the real thing in the '50s so that's what I"ll go with this time as well.
opinions please: original Moon discs or Speedy Bills version?
try Summit Racing in Cleveland. I just purchased 2 Wheel Vintiques series 12, 15" x 8" 4" backspace rims for my '34 with an 8" rearend. $68.95...
Dave, let me add my two cents to your glass questions. I worked at Pittsburgh Plate Glass for a number of years making the glass in question, the...
great photos, what kind of camera did you use? When I right click to save the pics they are compressed and stretched. Can anybody explain this...
thanks for the replies guys. Looking for some aluminum. Started snowing today, '34 didn't go so good so I had to use the front wheel driver.
been retired about 8 years, but mine is a year round daily driver although last winters salt raised a little hell with wiring in the rear.

I identify big time with these thoughts. I went to my 55th high school reunion this past weekend (Penn Hills High, class of '56) east of...
good looking roadster, I like the hood. What aluminum did you get to fab the hood? thickness, type etc. I'm thinking of doing side panels with...
if my grand kids see this they are going to throw stones at me for not putting a rumble seat in my '34 Cab. Great idea, I down loaded the pic of...
Culture?, Kulture?, tattoos?, when was it about culture instead of cars?
almost all automotive flat glass either laminated or tempered was a nominal 1/4" thick.
Remember-YOU CAN'T CUT TEMPERED GLASS, period. Once glass has been tempered what you have is what you have.
nice pics of some good looking cars, what did you use to take them? I tried to download one as a screen saver and all I got was a squished...
I've made my share of windshields in my time and I agree about the stress cracks, but a very big reason to smooth or polish the edges is to reduce...
Gary T here on the HAMB. I believe it runs a 365 Cad.
we spend the first half of our lives worrying about what's happening below our belt and the second half worrying what's happening below our belt...
You all remember Pinewood Derbies right? I worked at a PPG research lab in the early sixties and one of my buddies brought in his son's pinewood...
I just went through this with my '39 tail lights. I used a halogen H-3 bulb conversion from Julianos which are much brighter than the 1157 style...
love it as well, do you have any rear view pics? Excellent proportions.
This also made me think about my Dad. He wasn't a car guy as such, but I remember watching him work on our family cars changing clutches etc....
Don's Speed Shop, now that brings back memories. In the early '60s three of us started B & R Speed Supply here in the eastern suburbs of...
how about a darker shade of blue?
If I recall correctly the side pipes were the studios idea.
