Yea, had a pick-up run off the road the other day, he was going the opposite way rubber neckin. When you stop for gas or the store the thing is mobbed when you come back to it. I let people sit in it to get their picture taken, kids love it. It's lots of fun. But there ain't no sneakin around...

Nice job, I really like the picture of it in front of the old store. That's my buddy's house.... You guys would love it in there! And his basement is literally "layered" with old stuff including a 23 roadster buried under antique stuff and a 41 Harley bobber. Cool stuff!!! Thanks for all the...

It's been awhile since I was here. Been busy trying to get my 55 chevy on the road. But I did get my 41 dodge truck pretty much done. Military style. Here are a couple pixs. I got about 600 miles on it. Don

Where do all you clean shop owners grind and cut??? I make "pounds" of metal filings and dust!!!! If someone wants to see my truck they need to call ahead so I can move it outside. I have no attic or basement in my house to store other stuff, so guess where it is??? 26x32 four bay garage...

Thanks... No, In the hills of Pennsylvania..... It,s his full time place of residence. You should see the inside and the basement!!!! He is a "hoarder", but he hoards cool stuff... Don

Here is a picture taken in front of a friends house. Don

I have a SW green line tach I am trying to wire. It has a sender/ sensor/ or module? on the back that is gold in color it is marked + and - at the screw terminals. I hooked the + and - to the coil + and - and the tach works. But when I mount the tach it grounds itself and the engine will not...

Got R Done!!!! Well it has been a while since I was here. Been busy....... I got about 100+ actual road miles on it and no issues thus far. That's not counting the 25 miles of rolling it in and out of the garage. Here are some pictures. Don

I like when you tell them what spark plugs you want by giving them the plug number, and they ask what vehicle? What size engine? Power brakes? etc..... Can't they just type in the plug number????? one time I asked Advanced Auto if they had black high temp header paint. (I already found one can...

gold03 Do you need air valves with the switches in your link? Thanks for the info and compliment.; Here are a few pics Don

Got the front end in primer and block sanded. I made an old school hood scoop from the hood of an old case lawn tractor. https://picasaweb.google.com/63chevytoo/55CHEVY_1?authkey=Gv1sRgCIyihrmE_sLvdw#5700266493739031826 Don

Thought I would post this. Scary!!!! This is what it looked like part way through the wiring process. A mechanic friend told me I only need to run "three" wires to wire a vehicle! Technecally I guess he is correct but I always end up with hundreds. Don

Here is a picture of mine. I ran relays for fan, fuel pump, hi-low beam, neutral safety switch, etc. If you notice I also have some old style glass fuses for each down below the relays. (these fuses seem to be becoming obsolete) This is in addition to the somewhat conventional fuse box to the...

Thanks for the link sneakysnake. Looks like they may have discontinued the white. I can only find the red even though they still show the white. I guess it is best to get a complete manifold than trying to piece one together. Don

I took a year off from working on my 55 so I could build the rat truck so now I am back on the 55 again. Don
