I expect that there are a whole lot of people doing various things (that I would not do) to cars who are having a lot of fun and hurting no one....
Sounds like the repro wheels are more of a problem than the caps. Sharp car, worth getting this worked out.
They started importing Weber carburetors to the US in the early 50s, but are commonly remembered as the carburetors on the Grand Sport Corvettes,...
I can't see your radiator fan. Is it shrouded? Does it spin all the time?
I have seen guys put a couple of 10 pound bags of ice on the floor inside the car. Lots of people do use the oscillating multi tools with a putty...
I love the fact that people are making and driving these cars. I love a good driver, and a car that has been wrenched on by the owner. I have to...
Do the simple stuff first. Work your way up. There is a reason they make steering dampers, and they aren't too expensive. Remember that bump steer...
So what would you have built in period if you had been alive and building your car with the resources available ? Be true to yourself.
That is an honest truck. I'd drive it with or without the hood, and if you told me it was finished I'd believe you. I like it a lot. I wouldn't...
I like that tonneau cover and the pinstripes. I see the appeal.
I am not sure I understand. Could you explain it for a four year old ?
It makes me happy to think you are still out there having some fun in the garage. That roadster has a lot of appeal. Like the man said, "Take it...
I like your car, Jerry. Just wash the dust off of it for now, and go over to You Tube, do some patina searches, and some product searches. Let...

I lived in Norther AZ some years ago. I had some machine work done at TNT. I don't suppose they are still around. Best of luck with your new...
If you trust the builder, you should have already called the builder. Generally speaking, I don't know anyone who assembles an engine without...
I love the little Martian guy.
Looks super ! I'm kinda hoping you are going to get another body for that car. I was talking to your banger the other day, and it really has...
I am nobody here, but it is pretty clear from the pictures that the frame wasn't up to snuff. If you can make a real driver out of it and keep...
This is a thread about the saga of your 40 coupe, which you obviously drive. Make it a driver. Everybody needs a hooptie. Make it run by August,...
You will get better low and mid range flow, so they should help you where you do most of your driving. You would have to go to redline pretty...
