I was baffled and very concerned over the use of oil in this recently installed 327. A half quart in 100 miles, again, no leaks no smoke. Baffled. Not baffled, the valve cover that is, with pcv hooked up in proper place. I don’t think I ran into this minor issue before, but after searching...

Thats cool, and to me a lot more fun than slot car racing. Would be fun to participate in some real oval or drag strip action on that scale without slots. Would be cool to build a nostalgic style gasser? How about a model of your rat?

Too often the simplest job can take you down the road to nowhere whereas the thing you keep putting off because of the thinking that it’s going to be a road to nowhere turns out to be a lot easier and quicker so that you say why didn’t I do this sooner? Yes, relatable.

Prices coming down is the key to good hunting. Time to jump in.

Sounds like a lot of whack a mole going on to get to Tupelo. Especially when distance is involved. But it’s what we do and the risks involved, I hope you get this resolved.

A buddy of mine is away doing home remodeling, I am storing his 54 Chev in my barn while so. He just told me yesterday the story of how he took his '92 F150 into a shop to have the distributor replaced, apparently it was worn out. On the way back here, after 15 minutes on the highway, all of a...

Happy Bday, that meal sounds awesome!

Bob..just now seeing this, perplexing for sure. I also have the dog part, as I walk my dog at sun up. And yes it irks me to see the pile of bottles at one end of a culvert ditch, minus yellow fluids. which, because it is under the trees, is a great source of compost soil which I dig out for my...

That is quite the show, and a lot of crazy stuff. Lately our shows look more like a new car dealership showroom, which tends to drive off the oldies I run with. Our Plant City monthly is better but still not a lot of the crazy patina custom or old school stuff like what I see here. Thanks...

My 50's era car, not a welded build from scratch like a lot of what I see here, still comes under the heading of built not bought, most of which I had a hand in for which I am proud. A lot of what I do is shade tree, under the lean to, lay on plywood with jackstands and crap falling in my eyes...

Ok that’s what I have then, the tri pointed leaf you described, and what are breaking all over the hood. I got a couple sprouts here and there may keep the ones that are not near the house, I’ll be a bag of dust before they get too tall.

Interesting indeed! Especially that Stude :cool:

Was this a laurel oak aka water oak? I have one that has been dropping limbs lately. One limb smashed a small shed which I was able to rebuild, and it looks like this 40-50 foot tree is now leaning toward the back yard. They grow fast and get hollow eventually. Had one break in half up the...

Good deal, trucks are holding value and sometimes increasing. My short GMC is still worth about the same or a little more than what I paid for it in 2014 with added miles according to KBB

Thunder Road is dated but kinda cool, Then there is Dirty Mary Crazy Larry with Fonda, another 70’s chase hot rod flick. For the bikers there is the dated Wild One as far as the classics go but an interesting review about that one said that Brando’s gang seemed more of the scat beatnik type...

It was tedious and to this day can’t figure out the meaning of the ending. Thunder Road and Vanishing Point are still good ones imho

Congrats from another grampa. I now have two and another on the way. The first one is into cars, (and dinosaurs).

I am also between a house and a car place. That schoolhouse appears to be a foursquare style. I also bought a foreclosure, got a great deal, a fixer upper, on 1/3 acre in (Dec 2014), in a small historic town near Tampa. It was after we put the offer in, that we discovered it was NOT built in...

Many folks confuse surface rust with "very rusty". So you got the good deal. Great story and documentation I Hope you don't mind, I included the pic of my '48 Dodge, having just purchased it in 1972. This one still had the butterfly hood, later in that year, they had the one piece, not sure...

Headers and that steering system you have are two things I am considering for said headers. I have the original steering column and to keep my old school original theory, I am considering getting a pair of upright derby headers and and slicing dicing them into a custom fender well exit to clear...
