To the guys implying "No big deal" you're right. Right up until it affects your family, your tools, or your home. Then you'll be on here crying...
Great looking car and you are really making good progress!
Is this the "Chinaman" custom that burned at Barris' shop years ago?
Hate to hear that. It sucks to see any car magazines go away. While I probably wouldn't subscribe to those two, I've picked up a copy from the...
Great looking car and I like your plan. If you want red line tires, I'd go for it. I think they came out in 64 or 65 on the GTO's and Mustangs so...
I like a well done, tasteful chop but now that it seems everything is chopped, unchopped feels like it's maybe a bit cooler.
Thanks for the responses. Also, yes it will be outside in the weather but with a car cover on it. I just wanted to make sure it comes off with...
I know I've seen guys spray down bare metal cars with this stuff but I don't know if they paint them afterwards. I've got a project with some bare...
I've heard the saying "don't make it right, just make it run". While that's a bit extreme, I get what they mean. Better to put it together and...
It sucks for sure. Who would have thought that Island Dragway would have outlived both Raceway Park and Atco?
Me too! All those taillights would look real cool with a sequential unit hooked up for the turn signals.
There have been several stories about race cars inside trailers going up in flames as a result of litium batteries. While I don't anticipate...
I wouldn't be upset if the seller would not provide an image of the full vin or trim tag. But with that said and the high level of jackassery...
Love the Willys. And that Falcon is no slouch either!
At the last hot rod/muscle car show I went to one of my buddies said "the one thing all these cars here have in common is that they all have a...
Quite a few years ago I was looking for one of my old muscle cars. I had the plate number (In fact, I still have the plates!) but I did not have...
If you like watching videos, this guy on youtube has a whole series on Holley carbs. He provides a lot of good info on tuning. I got a lot out...
Graduated in 1981 from a Vo-Tech high school and it was both a blur and a blast. We had auto shop for the second half of every day and the...
That thing is killer! Love the wheel tire combo.
Although I would never have had the balls to put a paint job like that on an old coupe, after seeing pictures of it here and there it has grown on...
While we're on the subject, another shot from it's appearance on Adam 12. [ATTACH]

These threads make you realize just how old you are. Where were you in 62? I was just being born. In 1973 I was not quite 11 when the movie...
Great job!

Happened to me many times. I find that an evening of watching everybody else enjoying their completed tri-5's on youtube makes me want to get...
Thanks Algoma, that is exactly my plan. I just need things to warm up a bit more so I can shoot both sides of the floor in SPI primer before I...
Thanks for the input guys. Anthony, you are doing some amazing metal work on your wife's 56. You are a true metal craftsman, something that I am...
Hey guys, I'm looking for input from anybody that been though the whole rocker panel replacement deal on these tri-5's rather than just opinions....
