He was an american original!! R I P You deserve it !
Having owned several '60 's Fords & Mercs I have never seen one that new with swedged drums. I think he was off on his year models.
I don't care much for them, but that is not because I like hot rods, it is because I am mainly a Ford fan. If I had to pick one I think the '56...
Sounds good. Keep us posted!
I have an Edelbrock carb and so does my brother. Both act the exact same way. This has been covered in depth all over the internet and hard...
South Austin all my life (62 yrs old). 1948 Ford Coupe 1947 Merc 4 Dr Sedan 1999 Ford Ranger 2000 E250 Van 2004 Ford Freestar Van
Primarily a hoarder, hate to sell anything. In the past I have always had to sell something to make room for another, but now in my old age I...
They have 2 in Austin now (just on a trial basis). Signs of times to come. Let 'em try 'em, we'll never get rid of them. I personally don't...
Shouldn't be too hard to find another flywheel for a 390. Most any FE will fit except 428 which is externally balanced.
I admit to being a life long Ford nut. I like the looks of FE's and 385's much better than the ever popular SBF. Best looking Ford, dressed out...
The blue does it for me.
I'm glad to see that I was not alone. Thought that my computer had turn on me.
Radials? We don't need no stinkin radials!!
Been doing it alone most of my life. Most "friends" want to hang around, drink beer, tell you fast their car is, point out mistakes that they...
PM sent. Thanks for the offer.
Congratulations, I am hoping to retire at the end of this year. If had not been for my wife insisting, some years ago, that I get a "real job"...
I used to have a 427 Ford that blew expansion plugs on a regular basis. Back in the 60's you could get expansion plugs that had a bolt in the...
I hope this doesn't become the next "must have" fad.
If you like it, do it. Personally not my style.
This is a timely topic for me. I woke up this morning (early) and there was an infomercial about Drill Dr. on. (father's day specials, etc.)...
A lot of OEM bolts and fasteners have very subtle differences from off the shelf items, different thread length, maybe a built-in shoulder, maybe...
I am envious of that. One of my aims is to get a usable wrecker just to move my own junk around.
I have driven all over the USA and whatever I took in spare parts is exactly what I didn't need. Now I take a small tool set, credit card, cell...
I tend to agree that you should save old cars. However, anything I got (except family and dogs) is for sale for the right price. I didn't say...
Fortunately I don't have any of those, but if I did, it would be adios MF.
I like 57's also. good job!
Planning on being there. '48 ford coupe, dark blue, chopped.
What he said.
I had a '69 Mark III, 460 that would cruise at 90+ all day and easily get 20 mpg. Also a 312 in a '54 that would get close to 20 mpg. Made me...
