One question I've had about GPS speedometers- Somebody mentioned sunspots affecting how they work, but I was wondering if anyone has noticed a...
What constitutes a 'car'? For example, I have a cab, doors, and radiator shell for a '34 Ford pickup I plan on doing something with, but I...
Agreed. :D
Sounds like my kind of guy. :cool: And that Dodge coupe is pure bad ass. I picked up a copy of the mag as well- other than that lame...
Already a bummer for me- Santa left me nothing but an unflushed Yule log...
Not much into 1:8 scale stuff myself (I'm working up to it), but really into 1:25. I CAN vouch for the quality of Jim's parts, though.
Think you could oblige this guy and put up a few more pics of that engine? It is Christmas, after all?:D
I don't care if this one has been posted already. It's Hudson powered, and thus bears repeating. [IMG] And a vehicle I'd love to duplicate one...
Finished a few this year- here are my favorites. You might pick up on the fact I have a thing for Step Down Hudsons. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]...
Thanks! So far, you're the second to say that the car was a light grey (one of the old-timers in town being the first)- might be onto something...
I've got the second edition of his book- fun fact- the first and second editions are completely different books- EJ did not eff around trying to...
I know what you're thinking... you live in Ithaca, that's where EJ was from, why not ask one of the old timers? Well, I have, but there's a bit...
Nope. BUT- I'm planning on heading back up to St. Ignace this year, and if it makes its way back up there again, I'll see what I can do.
Sadly, no. It was up at St. Ignace back in 2010. Those two pictures were the only ones I managed to get of it without a crowd of people around it.
Bus looks familiar.... [IMG] [IMG]
Quality of his work, perhaps? Some insurance companies do take that into account. If a particular shop has a record of shoddy repairs under its...
$500 is not at all unreasonable. Worth the money? What does peace of mind cost? Addressing any issues now is a lot better course of action then...
Haven't gone since '10, but I'm thinking of heading up tomorrow. Spent a bit too much time in the vendor's row then, so I'm thinking I'll just...
Things I learned years ago... 1. "Corvette Guys"- in particular the guys who restore them, are among the fussiest, most stuck up, anal-retentive...
I've TRIED killing a couple of those... ain't happenin'. :D
Holy shit! You know there's actually a market for mummified animals- put those things up on eBay and you might get back some of your investment....
When I leave my trailer for long periods, I take off the hitch coupler and take it with me. I know some trailers have the coupler welded or built...
Nice. :cool: Haven't done anything traditonal in a while, but I am working on an AWB Fairlane- a quick tutorial on the mods will appear in the...
Finished up a new Moebius '53 Hornet as an early '60's style custom. This one will be in the next issue of Model Cars Magazine. [IMG] [IMG]...
R&R kits are pretty crude, quality-wise. Their kit is basically the AMT '41 Plymouth kit with a vulture-beak looking nose grafted on. But that's...
To be fair, that post ended up getting only one answer from a guy who, honestly, wasn't very helpful. :rolleyes:
Coolest thing I ever found in a scrap pile was a factory dual-quad Nailhead intake. This pretty much blows that away!
A year late, but what the hell! I've got a junk '62 Falcon out back that might be a worthwhile test subject for a build style like this. Not sure...
Michigan- parked mine just a couple days ago. Finally at the point where driving without a heater starts to suck.
I though maybe it was a Hilborn-type intake but didn't see a mounting boss for a distribution block- that intake would look badass with four...
