im 17 years old got these out of a barn. they have been sitting for 40 years im am making the 37 into a rat rod and using the 38 for parts. i am looking to chop the 37.
I would like to change some rear tires from a 26" OD tire to a 30" OD tire. I running a 350 tranny and a 9" ford rear end. Other than confusing the speedo, are there any reasons why this might not be a good idea. fenders are not an issue. Thanks
Just got sent a link form the H.A.M.B so I figured I would support the local site!!!! New project 54 Bel Air old skool style Hot Rod.....Ls powered, TH350, F-body rear end, disc brakes....
Greetings! Just popped in to read about the MOE problem with vintage vehicles. Has me a bit worried. But this place looks like it might be more interesing than just reading about the MOE "problem"! So Howdy!
Hello everyone, nice to meet you all and glad to be apart of this site. 4 years ago I bought a 1980 GMC for what I thought was a good deal. Ever since I have been sinking money into it as the pervious owner forgot to tell it was on it's last legs. I have it in excellent running shape so now all that needs to be done...
Hello, just found this site and lots of info. Generally like the MOE topics.
Camborne is a stones throw north of Cobourg.
I just finished a 1940 Chevrolet truck (traditional hot rod) and a restored to original 1953 International Harvester R150 truck.
Thanks
Shawn
Someone sent me a link for this place over on the HAMB, Thanks!! Mostly into 70's cars, but I seem to be on the eteranl hunt for a Model A pickup, but I'm cheap, and kinda out of room. Here's my 1973 Maverick Grabber, 306, AOD, 3.55:1 rear gears. Fun little car.

This is not as ambitious as Steve's door handles or some other projects but I needed a fitting a few years ago to finish up my fuel injection system so I made this fitting on my small lathe and drill mill in my garage.

Olds e...
I have a 68 Turbo 400 with a long snout in my 67 Cutlass.

So the big Question is what do I do now to solve this problem? Will t...
