Not sure if I'm going to ditch work and go or not. I'll be out cruising if I can get my carbs to quit spewing gas everywhere.
Check out the hotels at rt23 and 270 too. The cops don't pay as much attention up there.
Stick it to em Ryan
Thanks for reminding me how much I wish I would have been alive to see racing like that. It was just what I needed to see to get the motivation...
Shouldn't be too hard to fab one up, but it seems like I've seen a couple cars with triple Strombergs so there has to be one out there. Check...
Damn, I really wish I could have made it this year, looks like it was a great show.
Man, I thought I scored when I got my comet for $1600, but yours is much nicer than mine. Your chrome looks great, you've got half the quarter...
It's freaking sweet! I've always wanted to see one with a custom grill. Something along the lines of a peaked floating bar, or some chevy teeth....
Looking good Jon. I like the new hood as well. My grandfather bought a body shop in the late 40's and it is still owned and operated by my...
I had heard that they were an option, along with that heater setup, but I didn't know they were rare enough that some people had never seen them....
We went today to pick up my dad's new project, a '40 Ford coupe. It was owned by an older guy in southern ohio, who bought it in 1989. The car...
Heres mine, just got it a couple weeks ago and just made it the daily driver. Got a whopping six benjamin's in it as it sits. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
Might make it out to dayton. I've never gone but I think it would be fun.
What ever came of this car? I think it's really cool. But then again, I have the ability to see past the maker emblem, that most people apparently...
Yeah my falcon is rocking the column shift as well. As others have said, it really makes you slow down and just enjoy it, and you get some funny...
Well I put 3" blocks in the back of mine, cut two coils off the front and I'm pretty happy with how low it is. I want to add another inch to the...
'60-'61 have a factory rolled pan in the front. Just take off the bumper and fill in the holes. You'll have to roll some sheetmetal around a pole...
Go custom. I always thought a narrowed similar year meteor grill would look good. Or a crap load of cabinet knobs on a piece of drilled...
Two words... DRAG RACE Form always follows function when building a race car. Keep that in mind when building a street car and you can't go...
Straight from Fordsix.com Summary: Here's how to figure out what size the block is. Identification can be made with a quick glance at three...
Pretty much. I had seen the post on the uppers, I just never saw anything about the lowers. I think I may try to put a Z type step in mine in...
Falconizer, could you outline what you did to the lower control arm? I can see in this pic that it's bee re-angled, but how much? [IMG] I'm...

Listen to teddisnoke, I modeled my car after Magneto's article in HRD and I've had no troubles, even after 4500+ miles.
I think I'd run a 6 point rollbar with 'glass doors just to be safer in side impact, but otherwise it should be fine.
That thing looks awesome for $800. Especially in Ohio. A buddy just got a '65 in similar shape for $1500. It ended up running and driving with...
Here's the best shot I could find of my setup, it's when I cut my shock towers out, hence the sawzall. I cut 7" out of the econoline axle and...
I heard something about a big get together out at the track sometime towards the end of may. 45th anniversary maybe? Not real sure on the details...
22 here, been into all kinds of cars for as long as I can remember. Bought an old car cause I wanted something I could work on and actually afford...
[IMG] A friend of mine knows the guy who owns and built this car. He has seen the 9 second timeslips it is capable of producing. [IMG] I saw...
