Welcome!
D'Agostinos cars always grab my attention-especially like the '57 "Golden Star" Olds from a couple years ago. I wondered who did his work. I...
has to do with your post count I think. I was recently promoted to grenade inspector.
I've posted this one before but it's worth repeating. From RT66 2009. It just glowed in the sun-beautiful.
Excellent! And done over the white dining room carpet no less! Wow!
the Route 66 Rendezvous is about as close as I would want to be to E street now after dark. Even at that event it's gets a little crazy sometimes.
early '70s E street in San Bernardino, late '70s Market St in Riverside. Lots of drag racing on North Main bordering Riverside/Rialto in the...
Wow! And to think I dare complain about some of my problems. You are great!
Try to find a shop that will let you hang out a little and watch. A small shop might be more inclined to let you do this than a larger one but it...
Mine was suggested by some website a long time ago and I just kept using it for everything.
Why? :confused: Such an awesome show.I think there is plenty of entrants for the show that they could weed out these Crap Rod's! The only...
If he does it's never talked about at least not that I've heard of. There's been a lot of attention paid to the 32 in the last 10 years and not...
saw this '64 at RT66 last year-beautiful! Clean paint-nice rims-lowered-that's all a Riv needs!
Thanks for the pics-great preview!!
When I worked retail counter in the '70's there were an awful lot of "professional" mechanics that thought I was a dumbass if I couldn't send them...
My first car was a 63 Impala. 62-64 Impalas were what our group had. We liked the 55-57's but by then they were starting to go up in value beyond...
There's so much to look at that sometimes I see pics from the show afterwards and wonder how I missed "that one". Anything special you're going...
That looks nice! Have you seen the Olds that was in R&C a while back? Donnie Baird from Imperial Customs built it. I saw it at the GNRS a couple...
My point was I thought it would be a color that hasn't really been used much for a while. It was very popular when I was young and since my plans...
Root beer brown metallic, gold flake lace panels on the roof, Cragar wires and narrow white walls' black roll and pleat interior. That's what I...
It know is because I read it in HRM. I had decided on metallic root beer brown with gold flake panels or lace for the Riv a couple of months ago...
The reason to run it at 1500-2000 rpm on initial start up is to keep the lifters spinning on the cam until they are broken in. Cam lobes only get...
61-63 215 2 speed might be a "Dual Path". Check for trans cooler line fittings. If there aren't any and it has a finned torque converter it is the...
Since you only replaced the intake gaskets and the only thing you had to move was the gaskets and distributor I would start with the timing. Are...
This is a lot more info than the owner volunteered to me when I went there on Monday to see what was going on.
