    Pinstriping - How to get started?

    Hey all. To take a break from my hair-brained schemes, I thought I would drop in and discuss one of my girlfriend`s schemes.... She is very artsy(while I am more mechanical usually). We were looking at some pictures of rods on here, and around the internet. She, being artsy, picked up on the...

    Another car from the woods of Southern Ohio!

    Hey guys, long time no see. Life does that from time to time..... I am always fascinated by cars found in the woods/deserts/etc. My home base for all things automotive is my buddies garage. I heard stories about a couple old cars in the woods back behind the shop(and there`s a lot of woods)...

    `66 Suzuki S32

    So, I`ve always wanted a bike, and knowing me I couldn`t get just any bike. It had to be something cool and old. I finally convinced the GF to let me get one(with a few restrictions), and found this bike. I bought it, running, with a title, for $880. It needs some TLC, but I think I can have...

    General Ranger Frame Swap Question.

    Hey all, I haven`t been on much lately. I`ve had a lot going on in my life, still do. When this is all settled, I may find myself a ways from home. I`ll stop going on about me now. Anyway, my daily driver is a `90 Ranger with a 2.3L turbo in it. I like the engine, but the truck needs to be...

    Found a car in the woods

    A friend and I were riding four wheelers(ok, so I was riding a three wheeler) through his woods, and what should we find but an old chevy? It`s a two door, and about the only good things left are the chrome. I know how you guys like to see these old cars in their "natural habit". -Johnson

    Cleaning a gas tank?

    I am temporarily re-using the gas tank from my rambler. It`s in good shape, but it has a bunch of crud on the inside. I can`t get my arm through the 2.5" hole for the sending unit, so manually cleaning it is out :rolleyes: So, how do you guys clean out old gas tanks? I am on a major budget...

    Trying to decide on engine, what would you do?

    So I`m to the point in my Rambler project where I`m starting to think about what to put between the fenders after that little 199 has vacated the premise(yes i know it doesn`t actually even drive yet). I can think of a few options(see poll). 1)Build up an AMC six with a carb, just to be...

    `79 Monte Carlo - Thunderhorse

    I just thought you guys would appreciate this car. I had it as a daily driver for about 5 months. I bought it for $800, and got $400 for the engine/trans(sold to my sister, now lives on in her delta 88), and $200 for the body. I kept a few fun bits for my Rambler project. The name was coined...

    Rat sketch, whatcha think?

    I have been getting the itch to build a daily driver rod(probably cut it up and shrink it). Something small, light, with all the luxurys(heat, windows, etc :p). It would have to have a hood, and couldn`t be too low(around here, cars that are too low lose their floors), so I was thinking of...

    Need some help on rear suspension

    I`m to the point on my Rambler build were I need get a rear suspension under it. I had been planning on running ladder bars, but I want your opinions. I want a simple suspensions setup, one that rides decent, and that I can use the factory coils with. Right now there aren`t mounts on the...

    1965 Rambler Classic 770 - slow build

    This is my current project, a 1965 AMC Rambler Classic 770. It is getting a `69 199 six cylinder and a three speed tranny just to get it rolling. It also needs a new rear end to drive, I`m picking up a Ford 8.8 to use with the factory coils and some homemade ladder bars. It has 58,000 miles on...
