Having a little idle mind time (whoa that's dangerous) and started searching for updates on the American Graffiti '55 Chevy. I read an old HAMB...
I used to love CL but gave up on it a long time ago due to dealers abusing the site. Had to scroll through 8,000 identical ads for LED shop...
Justin, out of curiosity, what size clecos did you get? -Marc.
Awesome work! I've got a '59 F-100 down here in Wayland that needs a little tin knocking if you're feeling extra ambitious! Great to see that old...
Welcome Yooper! What part of the UP are you from? I had family in Baraga, on the west side of the Keweenaw. LOVE the area. Sweet rod BTW.
David, is your car a coupe or sedan? Trying to find an overall length (bumper to bumper) so I can determine if this thing will fit on the trailer...
Getting rid of the torque tube will be the ultimate goal. Is there a later model three-speed that will mate up with the 216 and allow an open...
Awesome story! So glad you found your old car. We have vacationed in Baraga (Keweenaw Peninsula) every year since I was born, so I'm familiar with...
I'm working on a deal for a '37 Chevy Master two-door sedan and had a couple questions for the experts. First, which models came with the I-beam...
In the ad photos, it looks like it's got Mercury Mountaineer SUV wheels on it right now, so whatever that would be. 5 on 4.5 I guess? Looks like a...
Ha! I thought the same thing! Apparently it's what Dodge called them in '61. In '62 it became the D-100 and the Dart became, well, the Dart.
Sold my '57 Buick and am looking at a replacement project. It's a '61 Dodge 'Dart' pickup. 1/2 ton long box. V-8/4-speed trans. I have a couple...
Mine is the 6 bolt top cover trans. I checked that right away after hearing horror stores about the 5 bolt jobs. I was only thinking Chev to put...
Earlier this year I bought a '57 Buick Special two-door sedan. It was originally a 364/3-speed manual trans car. I love stick vehicles, so that...
Wasn't the Ronca Bros. Mooneshine (before a sign painter covered the 'e' with the exploding bottle!) '56 Chev originally all white? I've only ever...
Were there any cool cars left in December 1979?
I love stories like this. You sir are a very talented fabricator. Too many people would have said "Four door, terminal rust, nah let it go." The...
OK, read the '55 Chev roof patch article provided by Johnboy34 (thank you BTW) and my situation is very similar, minus all the awesome...
I'll get some pics of it. I can't even see the area with the roof skin in place, nor could I get a sandblaster in there. I can just reach in with...
Getting a little deeper into my '57 Buick Special project: Got four wheels that not only fit the car but match now (woo-hoo!) and scrounged up a...
When I bought my 57 special it only had two of the original steel wheels. I've been trying to find a set of modern welded (as opposed to riveted)...
IT'S HOME! Pics soon I promise. What a battle that was. When I went to see the car it was sitting on an old trailer with two flat tires (on the...
Just dragged this car home and want to get an out of state title situation cleared up before I start the build. The tag on the firewall gives the...
Ha ha! I knew I'd catch hell for no pics. I'll use the excuse that I haven't gone to get the car yet (next Wednesday is Buick Day) then I'll send...
Just yesterday I bought a '57 Buick Special two-door post sedan. The previous owner wasn't going to use the nailhead in his build, so he junked...
Hi. I'm new here but have been lurking for a long time. I love all rods and customs but really dig the Junior Stock era of drag cars. I grew up...
