Looking for a set of fuel tank straps for a 55 Desoto. Not a lot of luck in my online search. Anyone have a go to guy for these things?

So from what I have read, converting a 6 volt positive ground system to a 12 volt negative ground system is as simple as swapping all the lights and the starter cylinoid. Is this true? I am not using the original radio. So do I need to do anything else?

Years ago I had a 73 Duster. Drum brakes all around. Replaced the rear end with one out of a Lincoln so I had disk. The front, I used Dodge Aspen spindles to get disk brakes. I'm cheap, but this is a safety part, so it has to be done right. I just got a new rear end for the 55 Desoto. Now I am...

Yesterday I came across a mercury flathead v8 out of a 51 Lincoln. The guy says it's all there but needs rebuilt. He is asking $2500 for it. I personally think that is outrageous. I have no need of it, but have several ford friends. I don't want to send them to a guy that is just nuts on his...

I recently lost my dad. Unexpectedly had a heart attack in his sleep on October 12th. He once called an old Dodge he had "Bad names and dirty words". This morning I traded my Yamaha for a 1955 Desoto Firedome with a 291 Hemi. It will be a tribute build for my dad. Hence me giving it the same...

Today I traded my motorcycle off for a 55 Desoto Firedome with a 291 Hemi. Car is in really good shape needing interior work and brakes. I've never had a baby hemi.....or any hemi before. Anything I need to know. And yes, Pictures will follow as soon as I get her home.

So I was asked today by a guy with a 51 Dodge with a 103 L block flathead 6/3 on the tree what other motors he could mount up to the tranny. If it was a few years newer, Id know that any one would do, but with that, I kinda remember that the bell housing is where it mounts to the frame so you...

I love the way these trans look and shift, especially the big jump between first and second. Does anyone reproduce them to make it more street/race friendly without adding an overdrive?

I've been toying with the idea of a different truck. I found one I like quite a bit but know very little about, It's a 1959 Dodge short wide with a 318. According to the research I've done, it came stock with 200hp. people are getting more than double that with some work. Anyone know anything...

As I posted in November, my daughter was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer and given 6 months to live. Of course, this meant everything else was on hold. Yesterday, the doctors reported that the cancer is completely gone. So now I can get back to being on here and working on the old IHC...

Sorry guys, been a hectic few months. My oldest daughter is back in the hospital. For those who don't know, she developed brain cancer at 7 years old. Two surgeries and a bunch of radiation and chemo and she beat it. She is now 21. MRI shows what they think is a new tumor. Down by the brain...

The wife and I are having a discussion. I contend that Frank and Jessie James are heroes, She says because they broke the law, they are criminals, plain and simple. My view is if the people who tried to kill you are paying the law to call you an outlaw, in a time where justice was what you took...

We need a new car centered show. Something like The Dukes, The Fall Guy, Starsky and Hutch, even CHiP's. Just been awhile since someone put one out. I think the last was in the mid 90s, The Highway man. Or VIPER. Any one remember one since then? Even I-man was cool with "Cursor" drawing the car...

Just got back from Shelby Township Michigan. Gotta say, it was the best Christmas I have ever had. Wife's family is amazing. Funny thing. She brags about Detroit, but wont let me get gas there. Wont let me go out to eat there because you may get stabbed. First person I have ever met who talked...

Working 12 hour days, six days a week. Not much time for the old IHC. When I get home, All I want to do is spend time with the kiddos. Makes me wonder if the truck will ever be done.

Haven't seen anything from them in forever.

As many of you know, the twins are in little rock children's hospital. My wife is down there with them at the Ronald McDonald house. She was running low on snacks so a friend of hers set up an account at Whole Foods and sent in a list of what she needed. The manager of the store took time out to...

Boys were born at 28 weeks and weighed just above 2 lbs. Both are healthy and doing well. Going to be in the hospital until july

Got up at 5 am, as usual. Went to work, but there was nothing to do. So I came home. Wife started having contractions. We are only at 28 weeks tomorrow, so it is way to early for the twins to come. So off to the hospital we go. They are keeping her trying to stop the labor. She is hooked up to...

I would totally love this show except this announcer's voice is like fingernails on chalkboards to me. I love the concept though.
