I don't know if cruising happened the way everybody is saying it did, or if nostalgia makes people remember it more fondly than it actually...
Are you sure? I have a '68 360 that from everything I can see hasn't ever been apart and you can visibly see the manifold gaskets. And Fel-Pro,...
All I know is that you have to be careful with the original Dynamat and a lot of the no-name products because they use an asphalt-based insulator...
I like originality, and something is only original once, hence "patina" since there's no such thing as a paint job that's perfect after driving...
During the whole climax of Peter Jackson's King Kong I kept hoping they didn't actually destroy all those Model T's and Model A Yellow Cabs, etc.
I'm sorry, Janet, but wasn't it hotrodders that created this world for you? There were hot rods before there were magazines about them. However,...
1929 Nash anything. Headlights, door handles, steering wheel, etc... Finally got lucky on an original set of headlights with perfect chrome. Yes!
Try Duff's Garage for a beer in Portland. They always have some cool old time rock and roll and lots of gear heads/vintage people.
Why don't you try to find someone who can look at the car for you?
I really don't know what the situation is. I just saw these outside the hangar of a couple old guys that were restoring a Grumman Tiger Cat. But...
Yeah, me too. Old guys at airports always have the coolest stuff. [IMG] [IMG]
This is what I use. It seems a little excessive/pricey for just a standby kit, but Sears had it for $100 off last winter, and it has storage in...
Welcome, let's see some pics of those cars!
Wow, there's a lot of misinformation on this post. I don't know what the advantage is to a negative ground, nobody should answer if they don't...
So did you do the compression test? If only one or two cylinders have low compression, it sounds like a bent/burned valve or stuck valve/ bent...
You're getting a lot of good advice. Here's mine. With all the work you have to do with the body, keep the stock engine and drivetrain for now so...
You're right: that was a rude thing to say. He's right: that car should have a Ford engine.
I just think Ryan should make a HAMB iPhone app. That would solve this problem for a lot of people, :-)
Whoever you are, I salute you. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
Dude! That's looking pretty good, and not channeled, which is a big part of what I'm struggling with. (I'm not sure about "a little more off the...
So I'm in the planning phase for my coupe, and I know that photochopping can open its own can of worms because I need to see the car in person to...
"I drove to work with the emergency brake on. This doesn't say much for me, but it really doesn't say much for the emergency BRAKE. They should...
Yup, CFI, CFII, MEI. I'm on furlough currently. I'm assuming you passed your checkride by now? I wish you many cool adventures. By the way,...
This is correct. A single flare is easy to split both while you are making it and also while you are installing it. Aircraft use AN fittings which...
Good news! I got a job offer. It's not really something I would have planned on, but it's pretty good money, and hell, I think I needed a change...
Wow, thanks everyone for the good thoughts. I'm glad to be in such good company!
I'm sure nobody cares, but I've got to vent. I moved from Salt Lake to LA for a job that started three weeks ago, and got the notice today that...
Welcome!
Sounds like there are a lot of good choices here, but the last car I did, I used a Centech kit and was very impressed at the quality and ease of...
I believe that you are ok to use any windsor-based flywheel with any windsor-based motor, as long as the counterbalance is correct. Around the...
