Well I traced it down a little further. Keith "Flash" Robinson out of Pasadena had it since 1981. I just had a short conversation with his brother...
Wow that is so dang helpful, thank you. In the bowels of the internet someone posted this picture back in 2012 on their blog and the supposed...
This, for years and years, has been one of my favorite pictures of what I believe is a Jack Calori 1941 Ford and a rigid Triumph custom. But I...

I wont be repainting, not now. I'll try the OSPHO to neutralize. I was thinking a very tastefully done, small run of white exterior caulk to seal...
I've got this here rusty seam that's progressively getting worse. What is my best option for a)stopping the rust and b)sealing it without repaint?...
The fires have made it to Fairfield. The containment went from 5% to 3%. High winds expected tonight, so expect the flames to spread. Tomorrow...
This is just a horrible tragedy. It's raining ashes in Walnut Creek, we cant breathe, but we still have a home, so we have nothing to complain...
Other than a Y-block (which I'm still debating), I'm thinking of buying a 60's or early 70's donor F100 to pull the motor/gearbox and some other...
If any y-block guys feel like being pestered with 2000 questions, please message me.
I had a 352 and 390 in both of my 63 Galaxies, and I really loved that 352. I don't want to side track this thread too much, I'm trying to decide...
Luckily I'm not trying to build a drag car, I just want a solid cool old motor that will be able to drive 8 hours and handle the Tejon pass to LA....
Great, I'm hoping to shut my naysaying GM loving - y-block hating buddy up ;P
Bringing up a post from the dead. I'm in a serious debate phase about putting a 292 in a 59 f100 to be a motorcycle hauler. I know there are some...
there's 3 or 4 fairly cheap 1959 4X4s scattered around Craigslist if anyone cares.
It is factory 4X4 with a 312 (did they offer that?. Sounds pretty rare and probably I'd get bad juju for tryin to change it.
I've been looking for a certain model pickup for a while and found a smoking deal... but it's a factory 4X4. I don't want a 4X4. What kind of...
I spent all weekend working on it. The front lower bump stops were 1/2" from touching, I removed those. The rear, it was resting on them, I cut...
I got 3" front lowering springs and cut 2 coils off the original rear coils and am happy with our 59 Kingswood. I redid all the suspension and got...
This is the first car I've had with springs all around. All my past have had leaf on the back. None have given me these issues. Anyway, I got the...
We have a '59 Kingswood I lowered 3", new springs, went through whole suspension, new stock length shocks, bias ply whites, Inland Empire...
Yeh we want to keep the drum brakes, so drop spindles are out.
Old thread bump. Wife has a 59 wagon. I'm trying to determine if I should get the Jamco 3" kit, or source my coil springs elsewhere? My buddy...
I like a thin white 60's custom as much as any guy, but think the wide whites look great as well. What's with all the dislike for these wagons...
Still looking for someone, I can message you the details. Thanks
There's a car I'd like to look at for my wife's first project. Hoping to get a bunch of pics and a nice inspection/record of damage. Phoenix area,...
I was at Bill/Joe's shop today and the Merc was just sitting there! [img] [img] [img] [img] [img]
I like to keep my cars stock as possible, so, based on the brakes and the wheels, it might be more useful to find another F-1 or panel. I use it...
I've had a '49 F1. I'm currently eyeing an F3. Why are the F3s considered less valuable/collectable? They are practically the same vehicle, just...
