Cool! Very good looking car!
Ooooo, I like this. What are the specs on the chop? Thinking of doing something similar to mine. Looks like about 5" or so.
Here's a couple of mine. Was an old roundy car like a bunch of the others on here. 1/3 34 ford and 2/3 33 ford. At some point somebody patched...
Glad somebody said it.
Thought I'd chime in and say that damn twin is blocking a perfectly good shot of my old Volvo wagon. :) Very awesome build! Thanks so much...

You're not crazy. -Mike
Be glad you bought the Ford instead of the tri-year. The last thing this place needs is another tri-year chevy "gasser". Even if you chose a...
Aside from the uber rad coupe I thought I would comment on the dude in the photo and that hat. In case anyone was wondering, that guy is most...
It's also Luther Perkins' birthday as well. Johnny Cash's lead guitar. He was a legend with an iconic sound that could not be matched! The song...
Lookin' good Jeff. Stacy is such a trooper. I'm so proud of her doing this car and wanting to be so involved, she truly loves this stuff. Nice...

I'm no lawyer, but you would think that some type of "seniority law" would exist for situations like this. I wish I lived a bit closer, I...
It's times like these when I wish I had lots of money. I would be the savior for all of these old cars that managed to survive years of neglect...
Or a junior dragster! -Mike
I'm only going to mention this since nobody else has. What was the recommended wall clearance for the pistons? The pistons may have siezed to...
Here's some of an old altered that runs with our group built in St. Paul in the late 50's. It's still around and runs a few times a year. It was...
That's McQueens'
I used to go to this used tool store near where I work. It was awesome because you could buy things you needed to either make a specific...
My old man use to let me sit on his lap and drive his 57 Ford 2dr around the parking lot when we lived in Wis when I was about 4. I remember my...
