I just burned some office time on a rustolem thread. Very entertaining. It reminded me of a conversation about a paint kit collection some guy...
We have all seen terrible paint jobs that used top dollor products. It's refreshing to see good results from affordable products. Aren't you...
Looks like it's all about working with what you have most of the time. We don't always drag home the best idea. Trick parts cost big bucks &...
I hear ya'll. Not a bad response in the bunch. Since we are just killing time on the subject... What do you have thats cool. Innovative SBC? Y...
Not looking for specific tech info. Just food for thought. What is your main motivation when choosing an engine &/or drivetrane pack. What...
Sorry, no pix yet. those will come later with a more "for real" post with a game plan & some progress. Just got back from Dad's. He has drug...
The HAMB is great but this is the thread that keeps me coming back. There are loads of info here. I have read, reread, & will continue to do so....
I was talking with a guy from the way back days. He spoke of Waco as if it used to be the hot rod center of the universe. I remember Fort Fisher...
Wraps certainlt don't seem to be in line with the traditional vibe but... There are a lot of posts about flat black finishes. Materials, degree...
Sorry if this is a repeat idea. I ran out of time & did not read the whole thread. Put a good laquer paint job on it & rub on it all the time....
Terry, That looks great. Like many here, I've ben in the Autobody industry for years. Started with laquer & changed just like everyone else....
The 4.3 certainly isn't desireable. It is solid & should get the thing going. I also expect it will make a sutible hole for a small block down...
I have a very rough '26 roadster body & a set of '36 wire wheels. I should be able to get the clapped out front end out of his '40 coupe. The...
How about some suggestions for encouraging him to get it on the road. I would certainly prefer to enjoy this one vicariously through him anyway....
I really need to respect Fiddy's stance. This is not the proper place to push a sell. Especially on something that isn't mine & I don't have...
I just noticed FiddyFour's post. I might should have started this post in the for sale area. It's not technicly for sale but that's certainly...
It would take money to get it. But yes. He's thrown better stuff away.
It's not for sale but it should be. Dad's original direction has potential but it's really not far enough along to be commited to any particular...
Thiis one will never have mass appeal. I don't have the chop's to save it. This probably won't be a deal for anyone. I just hate to see it go to...
Wow! Four pages of compliments. I didn't read them all but it seems pretty clear, Bass has it goin' on. Can't say I really know this guy. I do...
Vey nice
I joined a while back. My participation is pretty infrequent & I mostly lurk. My Dad has the real hot rod chops. I pick up what falls off of...
Thanks guys! I hate to kill my own thread but my inspiration obviously lies in the threads you have provided. Elrod & Chris...I don't have the...
I'm cosidering buying a restored/surviving Model A. My Dad is looking into a Coupe he knows. I'm thinking a (relitively) stock drivable A might...
Hey! What th.... Somebody get this thread to rolling again. I know the holidays probably stalled the real contributers. I'd post something...
I had to do some actual work for a change & havent checked on this thread for a few days. Our plans for moving are off the table. We may pick...
The pistoleros are just for stereo typical humor. They can generate holes in the funniest places when you are dealing with humorless folks.
I'm thinking something along the lines of a '65 Impala. You guys should be fairly familure with something like that. Maybe a little bigger than...
I don't know what a drop bear is but my Mexican Sombrero beats the sun off pretty good. It also goes good with Mexican blanket seat covers....
100mph ... 100ks ... What's the differance?
