Hot Rods Where did my thread it go?

Wow a double wammy, deleted and by a 206'er....................smileyface!

 

A lot make it and I will agree some are straight up stupid.

 

253

 

Over here on the east side of the Cascades we tend to lump all of the west siders as 206'ers, not that it's a bad thing!

 

Ha, you northerners, 503 country here!

 

I was thinking Pierce County also, the 253. Land of the early Olds V-8's, because of Paul. I am Butch/56sedandelivery.

 

Let's see the stacked spindles @56sedandelivery . I keep checking back, to see 'em. All you need is a thread title change .... or a new thread, with a disclaimer. I like to see safe, of the era modifications. Hopefully, noone else will f#ck it up by posting b.s.

In hindsight, you can self report, and get a thread clean up on aisle 3. Don't hit the report button ... just hit up a moderator. If not busy, they'll remove the stuff early enough to let your creation continue to live, in HAMB-berspace.

 

Next time title it “what’s on your shop refrigerator and how bout some stacked spindles”

 

Ha!!! Just make sure your arm is hanging out of your car window when you post!!!

 

It was't the "THREAD", it was the attitude and responses of some HAMBER'S that did it in. You can "GOOGLE" stacked/raised spindles, and find photos if you care to do so. There are a few threads here already on the same subject.

It still sucks to have perfectly good threads deleted because of some jackasses posting BS on the thread instead of the offending posts being deleted instead!

 

Well I missed the whole thread, but I did make extended spindles for my '58 about 45 years ago. Too long to remember how other than I took two pairs of spindles, cut one pair just above the axle, the other just below the upper joint and welded the longer tops on, overlapped to the inside. Cut the bottom joint mounts, moved up and welded with big triangular gussets. Rode and steered as well as before. Teenage ingenuity but it worked.

 

I have been around 71 years and that's the first '58 I have seen sittin proud!

 

It is a nice looking 58, no doubt about it, and not what was commonly used/sought after at the time. When I worked in a Standard Chevron Dealer in high school, 66-69, there was a guy and his wife who used to come in for gas, with the same colored 58 Impala, but he had swapped in a 425 HP/ 409 and 4 speed. Even then, I was a 56 Chevrolet guy, but it was still a really nice car. The real kicker, his wife drove a 58 Pontiac with Fuel Injection badges on the fenders; but, the Fuel Injection had been removed long before they came into the car, but it was still nice. But then again, what car is't nice to a 17 year old kid? I am Butch/56sedandelivery.

 

Yep, Up here the '58 Impala was an instant custom candidate not a gasser type at all .............................
