I used a carpet knife blade in a utility knife (it has a hook on the end) but work slow or it will get away from you. For seatbelt holes, I heard...
Get two 6' long pieces of 1" x 2" steel tube. Mark out the bolt pattern for sbc exhaust and drill them out in the 1x2 so the pattern is evenly...
That looks like fun! Excellent stance and I love the lean back on the windshield. Well done.
Looks great, Scott. Don't move it an inch. Looks perfect. I haven't checked in with your progress in a while - you're kicking some ass....
I've got to second that, Tinman. I'm super impressed with your work. I'd like to know your magic cusswords. I've tried every one I know.
I pulled my '60 box out through the bottom like the guys are suggesting. There's a worm gear on the end of the shaft that is captured obviously...
I'm pulling for your Dad. Having been through the same situation, ask as many questions as you can. I have faith in health care providers but...
Wow. I thought my Avatar was creepy. These are just disturbing. I love it!
This is rough to go through and I feel for you and your family. Knowing that the end is nearing is unspeakably difficult but being there for him...
Here's a picture of my '65 SS. I've owned this car for 20 years now - school, marriage, kids, several moves and I'm finally getting around to it....
Kirk build cool car.
I agree you don't need a kit but how do you rewire it to work without the computer that locks up the converter? I got a kit from TCI for under...
Sad news indeed. Condolences to Andy's family. Andy and what members of the HAMB did for him personifies what the hot rod community is all...
What bolt pattern are you running? They're blackwalls with freshly painted, black early Ford 5 on 5 1/2 bolt pattern rims. Fronts are mounted,...
Shoot, Scott. I forgot about the slicks. I have a pair of Hursts in the garage that I would've let you borrow for the Autorama. In any case, if...
I think you did a damn fine job. I like the windows. Proportion-wise, you may want to consider the suggestion about the grille shell....
Congrats, Rich. That's a big step. I've been following your progress in pics and in person. I've been over bugging Mike, too. Keep us...
Thanks for all the leads, folks.
Good advice, Denise, and I've seen both your father's and your car - they both look great. I don't get to many shows in the winter so that's...
Yeah, that's the problem. Many shops... Which to pick? Not every shop is willing or capable to do the work I'm requesting. I'm just hoping...
What's going on with your '32? The maroon one, right? You didn't buy a new one, did you?
I'm planning an up-coming project and I'm looking for a recommendation of a body shop within Mid-Michigan or thereabouts. I'll need minor rust...
oooh, that's nice! Yeah, you really can tell you're not married. I spent a 1952 Triumph Speed Twin on an "upgrade" on my wife's wedding ring....
He finally gave in, huh? It'll look great on your sedan. Congrats. Hey, Frank - That guy sounds like my dad. Every house he had was decorated...
Strange. I was just thinking about this topic last night when I noticed a W-M table in another thread. I wondered the same thing. I've used...
I agree with the free market. The big three do not deserve this, but come to our state and tell that to the thousands of loyal, hardworking...
I watched that last night. I was trying to wrap my mind around owning vehicles worth that much. Crazy money. I can totally appreciate the cars,...
Looks great! I never realized your truck was a long box. They always look better either slammed or jacked up a mile in the air - rarely in...
Thoughts are with your family, Rich. I have a close friend on the surgical staff at the Cleveland Clinic. Rest assured you have the best care...
The Stones, Byrds, Hendrix, Steppenwolf, Van Halen... Man, I love hearing stories from you old guys about rock n roll almost more than old...
