Ron Brown - Thanks for the kind words! That's my Olds. A friend said 'undead sled' awhile back, I can live with that title a little easier.
GOOD NEWS!!!! A box got delivered to the above address with my camera and card in it! It had a full return addy on it so I did a little web...
I would swear it wasn't Johns - I thought it was a truck style not a turtle deck - but I was fairly thrashed. Hell, I think I still have his...
I'm sure who ever has it would know it's the one I lost. I'm really just hoping they happen to get on the HAMB and see this.
Thanks for the card format tip. The laptop I've been using for backing up suddenly had a RAM failure a couple days ago and I'm not sure I'll get...
First off - Torquefest 2017 was a blow out of a show!!!!! Wish I had pics to share... Lost my older Pentax Digital SLR. I don't care a lot...
I'm that guy, and that's my chopped '48 Olds. Just drove it back from TF2017 - another great show! I'm not on here much, but if you want to...
Jamoke - I think that is a hardcore picture. I felt bad for you when you pulled up! I finally got out to see if you wanted to come sit in my car...
27T - That's my Olds your boy is sitting in! Glad to have met you. [IMG]
John, I have one suggestion for you - bigger entrance signs - like where to go. 4x8ft and obvious up above everything. One maybe 100yds before...
If that miserable cold wet Friday had been the only day for the show it woulda been worth it! Talked with a lot of cool people - EVERYBODY was...
You forgot to mention you also do interior decorating.
Cheers to you Mr. Wells, if anybody complains about it, tell 'em they're more than welcome to volunteer for gate duty next year! I know I...
Also meant to give the Marauders Motor Club a big personal thanks for giving me the cam, head, and pistons. The ride home in the Olds was a lot...
Crazy good show. Thank you Mr. Wells!!! ... and everyone involved! Sensory overload. What a blow out - car everywhere - I barely saw any of...
Forgot to mention the first pics and a few in the middle are from the VIP section and were not allowed through the gate. Some I didn't take...
Figured some here might be interested. Great show. These are the raw pics I took sans blur, thumb, and shit shots. I tend to take running...
Re-did the bed a bit, chromed up the dash, 292/2x3, not finished...[IMG]
If I walked up on a bunch of guys having this conversation, I listen for a couple minutes, snort, and walk away shaking my head! Who cares, just...
Well, a little slow on my post - check those valves to see if they are sticking. If there isn't enough pressure on the push rods they will fall...
Just thought I'd chime in and let you know I'm on this forum too - mostly lurk for the tech as my ride doesn't really qualify. I see some good...
Americans ignore quality to save a few bucks. (There was a 1/2 page rant here - I deleted it.) WE HAVE NO ONE TO BLAME BUT OURSELVES! WTF that.
Kinda reminds me of the old Jeep Forward Control series. http://www.jpmagazine.com/thehistoryof/154_0705_jeep_fc_150/photo_03.html Hell, cut a...
I always thought of traditional hot rodding as building as much as possible with your own two hands with the best parts you could scrounge up....
If you do all the work on your ride when you're drunk, you might just own a ratrod. I do.
Some have a spring loaded collar at the back of the knob that bites down on the shaft. Some of the knobs will have a small slit in the side at...
It's also a remote possibility the damper could have moved also. That would throw your timing marks off.
That is a sweet sound. Anybody got a clip of one at idle? Love a Y's idle too. May not be the biggest or the baddest, but I'll never part with...
Any truck 292 had the raised letter FORD valve covers. Mines got 'em. He just painted the letters all nice - look good.
Recession - quit buyin crap and work on what you already got. By the time you're done the recession will be over and you can buy more crap.
Separate names with a comma.
