I love road trips. I take them whenever I get the opportunity. The first real road trip I took was back in 1991 while my folks lived in Florida. I...
The engine is just a long block. The garage does really lend itself to checking out the entire car. The interior is completely stripped including...
I offered $200...
Well, that was all about nothing. Supposedly this car ran when bought in 1999. Now? Nothing but a hot mess. There is a 302 sitting in the frame...
Thanks everyone. I can't wait to check it out!
I'll definite look in these spots! Thanks Don!
What kind of suspension is on the front? If the flatty is still with the car, I don't have a problem using it. I would probable us a GM or Ford...
On Tuesday I'm going to look at a '47 Merc. I've never seen this car and it belongs to a friend of my Mother who's husband has passed away. I...
Bump!
I know many of you like the older, 'vintage' photos of the auto industry. I'm looking for the delivery trucks from the 1950's that say 'Chevrolet...
I've seen enough cars wrecked from the blow outs. I wouldn't put 40+ year old tires on my car, I care how good they looked. They are great...
And the clock to a blow out is ticking...
Appreciate the input. Every little bit helps.
For what it's worth, I like the DeSoto tail lights better. Hopefully they are reproduced.
The rear end is most likely a Dana 27 (weak). A Ranger or Explorer 8.8" should fit the car. Turner Brakes sell a front disc conversion.
It's a '60. And with the car having a 6 cylinder, the brakes may not be strong enough to slow it down. Studebaker even upgraded their brakes on V8...
You have to watch the 'narrow'. I have a 15 year old U-Haul dolly and larger cars won't fit on it. It works fine for my Studebakers, but they are...
OK guys, looking for a little history here. If you have any body shop pictures from the 1940's, the 1950's or the early 1960's post them up.
Do you have your original radiator? If so, have the original recored...
In the US, cars were titled in different ways depending on the state. GM's divisions also had different ways of putting the serial numbers on the...
A 1971 Ford Pinto - For reference only [IMG]
Summit is pretty good at warranting the items they sell. I'd be curious about the DOT date code though. As mentioned, these could have been on...
Having a flex fuel vehicle, I'll tell you exactly what you need. Everything up to the carb needs to be stainless. Using the carb, you'll need to...
Not worth much unless you have a matched set.
Each state is different. CA doesn't like restored plates, but if you don't have to send the plate in you should be fine.
That isn't a VIN/Serial Number plate. You have a cowl tag. Not the same thing.
Mr T, this is getting a title the right way.
PNB, if you can, try another DMV and see if they will take it. If not, get the bonded title. Compared to a lot of guys with no serial number on...
That is a state assigned VIN. There should be a corresponding decal with the same number on the car. As someone mentioned, that '@' sign probably...
Separate names with a comma.
