We should probably call it a "Radiator Ornament". Note that it is actually a radiator cap with an Art Nouveau figure attached....... so it's...

Leap Year baby?
Still radical....... but in a less doofus way. :cool: There's a lot of 'room to rent' inside that cab but I don't know what to suggest doing...
With that 2-barrel carb and intake I'm inclined to think 'little cam, low compression'. The 2-barrel probably isn't the biggest hairball in the...
If there was ever a place for '59 Caddy Rocket tails........ that's it, right there. *Real, true rod-n-custom people love Caddy Rockets. :rolleyes:
Wut?
I'm liking the direction it's going now. Somehow it's more balanced with the center grille becoming less in your face. Keeping it all the same...
You are too kind. In the dark corners of my warped mind, it's filed under "the toilet seat grille". :confused: If that moniker offends anyone,...
Sometimes being different is cooler than being the same. The fact that it works is validation enough to keep it that way. But if it bothers you or...

Is there anything like the SEM spray product that a paint store outlet can custom-mix to match a particular color? My panel truck interior was...
Looks good! Now do something about that Lokar shift knob. o_O
Give a look at the B&M offerings. Granted, they are a bit more street rod, '60s-looking than the Lokar/Gennie cousins. But you can dress 'em up...
I got confused at first. For a minute there I thought I'd opened the ol' "CUSTOMS GONE WRONG" thread. But once I got oriented and realized no...
How about one of these rubber grommets made for the job? [ATTACH]
The pointer is simply pressed on the center pivot. If you remove the bezel and glass, you can pull the pointer needle straight up and off and then...
Something about the women chasing the men once every 4 years.......... i'dnit? :oops:
In general, rubber bushings 'torque'. They don't slip or allow spin. So they will torque to a point and tear apart beyond that point. They have a...
From my mind to your keyboard. LOL The original poster mentions in the opening post that manually lifting the pedal cures the "drag". By the time...
In case you want to get even more nostalgic, this is the road to the Senior Center in Tucson.......... [ATTACH]
Instead of a "Nomad" let's just agree to shorten it to a "No"! [ATTACH]
I just search for "emblem tape" on amazbay and that gets me all the different names the sellers may call it. I have a couple of rolls that are a...
These are the newer-ish Chevy pickup transplants that came already in my '50 AD panel truck. I'm gradually scraping off a lot of the "street rod"...
Sometime in the mid-60s I bought a '59 Lincoln Premiere cheap, from the back row of a rustbelt used car lot....... "to tide me over 'til I could...
Check out the local boneyards for an early Dodge Caravan rear axle. They are dropped quite a bit. Get the simple, bolt-on hubs while you're at it....
I haven't done a 'word search' but the impression I have is that there are too few "porting" discussions around this place. Your skills at...
This thread makes me smile.......... [ATTACH]
First: Some wise guy came up with "4 on the floor" (probably an early '60s magazine writer, as has been mentioned). The rhyme made people smile...
Let's party!!............... [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
