Are there any? I need some parts...
I've got a '58 Olds with a Hydro and everything I read says to get a lift to drop it. I've heard this trans weighs 250lbs, the same as me. It's...
I've got a late-'55 and wanna know if they're worth building. Part of me says why run less cubes than I could if I'm gonna rebuild it anyhow, but...
So, do the manual tranny parts from a Buick 300 work on a Nailhead? I bought a 300 with a trans and was hoping...
So, I've seen a few cars from around here built in the late 50s and Don Moyer's recent thread containing a bunch of pics from Ohio in the 50s...
Before anyone jumps my shit for not using the search, I have and it's not exactly clear. Are the decklids from '31-31 Sport Coupes the same as...
As seen in the May 1958 Rod and Kustom. I've seen the small pic in there, are there any more? Does anyone know what became of the car? People...
I was wondering how a '51 Ford F1 rear-end would do behind an Olds 371/Hydro with a tripower. On one hand, it's a truck rear, so it should be...
So, we've got a '58 Olds with what we believe is 70,000 miles on it. It runs good and the hydro shifts well and doesn't slip. However, it's...
So, we've got this '51 F1 I got for free because it was the gf's grandpa's old parts truck. I decided that a free truck is a good place to learn...
So, for those of you running pressure switches for your brake lights of the aftermarket variety, where did you put it? I've thought about putting...

So, the fuel pump on my '58 Olds 371 seems kinda weak and I figured I'd replace it before it left me stranded. Anyhow, I can't find anyone who...
So, I have a set of quarters for my '58 Olds and I wanna hang em using my O/A welder. I've practiced enough on 22guage scrap that I'm confident...

So, my Inbox shows 5 Unread messages at all times, although I don't have any. I've deleted stuff from my out box and I think that's where they...
I know this is a VW link, but this is the same kinda work we're all doing on our cars and I figured this is the best place to ask this. On the...
I'm going to look at a '59 Bel Air 4-door after work today with the 235/3speed and was wondering if there's any notorious hidden rust areas. The...

I'm gonna look at one of these this week - a '50 Buick Special. Are they reliable? How are they fuel-economy-wise? I realize it's an old car...
