I was always fascinated by mechanical and electrical "stuff" since I was a kid. I remember watching a neighbor adjusting the valve clearance in...
NICE! I think the 1950 Chevy Fleetline is one of the best looking fastbacks around. They look good just sittin' still.
I believe the drive train came out of a '68 C10?
I am finally getting the new(er) engine and drive train in my 1950 Fleetline. The problem is I need the fork and throwout bearing for the whole...
Not really, it goes far beyond the electronics in cars alone. Its a case of new technology can't handle old technology. Most engineers...
I LOVE all that unshielded computer controlled crap out there. The 500 Watt transciever in my car (Totally Legal) can really screw up newer cars...
.... at least you dont have to shovel heat.
I would double check to see if it is legal. As others mentioned, if tires are on the road, it has to be registered. Thats the law in NH. Not...
..... and how many is too many? That is a funny question! Is there such a thing as too many?
Fucking gestapo...
1957 Cadillac. Slow as dirt off the line but did it ever cruise the highways at high speed. The thing was stock, but felt like you were riding...
When I first fired up my '50 chevy, about 10 dead mice got launched out of the exhaust along with a bunch of acorns. I am glad no one was standing...
I repaired and now am on a tech-help line for video transport streams. ie: microwave links for the TV industry. You did say transportation!
That's why I never want a car that is perfect. I would never dare drive it.
Its paying for the SBC350 and Turbo 350 that is going into my 1950 Fleetline:). . . . . . or maybe a tank of gas for my F150:eek:
That was my first thought
I moved out to the boondocks to avoid yuppie dipshits, however, they are invading the dirt road I live on. Every car on my property, except...
Because I am a cranky old buzzard and because "buzzard" was taken on this board it got modified to oldbuzzard50. I have a 1950 Chevy. My F150...
I was on the way out to Montana, (insert dental floss jokes here) many moon ago, and my POS 1973? Honda Civic died going down an onramp back onto...
It's genetic. When she says "I do", what she means is what's mine is mine and what is yours is mine too. There is no "us" it's all hers!:D
Thanks for all the good info guys. I now know just what I need for the major parts. Now I just need the time. My loooong commute to work is...
Fortunatly ,if it is an S10 Blazer chances are it is a 4X4 up here. Lots in junkyard too. These freakin' city types move up here and buy a 4X4...
I used motor mounts from RB's. They are bolt on mounts. At the time i didnt have a welder. I cut and pasted above from previous poster. Tried...
OK, FNG looking for some one who has "been there, done that". I just came across a good Chevy 350 with a turbo 350 hooked to it for a good...
I didn't use quite as strong a mixture but the muriatic acid cleaned the tank out "just fiiiiiine" on my 50 Chevy and the stuff is a great weed...
I have a 235 in my 50 fleetline. Someday it might even be legal on the road.
53 this year and still kicking, but not as well as I used to kick. Always loved old cars. First was a '57 Caddy Fleetwood that I never should...
Congrats, Doesn't that feel great having that first run no matter how short it is. It only gets better!
That is the same as a Picost
LOVE those old Caddys. My first (old) car was a '57 Fleetwood and I was 24 when I got it on the road. Sure regret selling it.
