My dad has a 1930 Buick 60 series. Original car. I don't know if I could bring myself to hotrod it. But damn, is it a good looking car
I'm gonna cut your springs while you are sleeping Charlie
I love everything about it. This era Mopars have weird rooflines. Looks a lot better with the roof mods you did.

My 59 Apache I'm building now will have a 60s vibe from the exterior but it has more modern chassis and drivetrain because I'm gonna drive the...

This is what I was thinking too. But after seeing that 34 with the skirts, now I really want to build a 34 ford in a 40s taildragger style. I...
Tired of the local cruise nights? Don't go to a LOCAL cruise night. Pick a cruise night in a town that's 1-2 hours away. Enjoy the ride. Park...
A friend of mine is using a 251 chrysler 6 in his model a jalopy build. I don't think he changed the wheelbase. Just cut out the firewall more

Farm and Fleet carries 6 volt batteries. That's where I got one for my 52 dodge. I'm still 6 volt. Been that way for about 5 years and 10,000...
