Got this 283 for free. However, it was locked up at the time. Only took a little bit of effort to get it to turn over. Looks to be a very low...
Great history. Anything new?
Anything new? Is Jack's still there? Or cleaned out?
BTTT.
Got the tailgate latches out of this wagon. The same latches were used in 55 - 58 Chevy Cameo pickups, and Corvair Rampside pickups. Along with...
Did you check out this 37 coupe?
My 55, owned since 1977. Been "Vintage" drag racing since 2011. Tow it to the strip behing my 55 Cameo. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Good luck with this. Let us know how it turns out... With LOTS of pics. :D
Thank you. The 57 is my 2nd oldest brother Bob's. It's the quickest of the four of us, with turning in the mid - high 11's in the 1/4 mile. By...
I drag raced my 55 a couple of times in the 1980's. Have been "Vintage" drag racing it each year since Melt Down Drags #2. Currently run it at...
Hi Norb. You ran me once at one of The Meltdown Drags. It was in 2015. A GREAT time. Yeah... I got a good look at your taillights. [ATTACH]
I have no idea either... 1925 Henway???
Janesville Wis. on Tuesday April 9, 1957. It was my daily driver for about 10 years, starting in 1985. [ATTACH]
Oakland California on Monday April 16, 1956. It was sold new in Anchorage Alaska and was pulled out of a junkyard near Pekin ILL. in 1980. It's...
Tarrytown New York on Monday May 30, 1955. The same day as the 1955 Indy 500. Yes, it's originally all black from the factory. [ATTACH]...
It wasn't specifically mentioned, but I assume that it'll be fender-less? What are the plans for the front suspension? Is there any of the wood...
Mine since it was finished in May 2022. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
The original owner built midget race cars in the 1930's and 1940's. An American Entrepreneur: Howard Emge (youtube.com)
Not sure why the last two photos posted 90 degrees off. They are correct on my computer. Here's a link to a short video on YouTube. It shows...
Well, it's been 2 years since the last update. The front suspension problem is figured out. One of the first things to go when I started on this...
The ones on my 55 Cameo are "as cast". I'd like to polish them but have been too lazy so far. LOL! My 55 210 sedan has Cal Customs. Both have...
Yes, Muncies are not cheap. Other choices are Saginaw 4 speeds, full syncro Saginaw 3 speeds and 3 speed O.D. and heavy duty Muncie 3 speeds....
A 32 Ford highboy roadster. Built era correct to about 1948, with a hopped-up flathead, 39 top shift trans and a Halibrand quick change. Either...
Cool 57. There's nothing wrong with a four door... Especially if it's a 57 Chevy. Personally, I'd skip the Ford 3 speed and install a Muncie 4...
283's are GREAT engines. Mine has been in my 55 since I bought it in 1977... I was 14 years old. The short block is a 1960. At that time' it...
Easy Jacks from the early 1970's? Remember this photo from an issue of R&C magazine.
For anyone who saw the crash on Friday, the driver was not hurt in any way. The Nash Metropolitan, (with a 392 Hemi), was trailered home, and he...
Thanks everyone for the photos. Any photo that I take has to have the film sent in to be developed and then sent back. It takes some time. LOL!...
The weather is looking really good. So far, about 20% chance of rain for the Rockford area tomorrow. Highs in the low 80's.[ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
Trailered over this afternoon. Will go through tech tomorrow. Saw some friends, including long time drag racer Gordy Beutch, Not sure which car...
