a few of you guys know my dad and i build old cars. so, i thought i'd share a couple pics of our lastest build that nearing completion. this ones a 55 chevy. it's got a 502 bbc, turbo 400 trans, and a ford 9" rear. there's still a lot of stuff to do, but it's getting there.
please don't ask what color it's getting painted. it's already done.
Love the 55 done up two lane blacktop style. g13092 nice car, I noticed it in your avatar and was hoping you'd throw up a big pic sometime. , I am a camaro guy too, heres my pair
old schooler
over the years i've had 3 camaros. the first one was a 72. it had a straight 6 with a 3sp. on the floor. then i got an 85 iroc. after that, i pick up a 79. that was the "get into a lot of trouble" car. it wasn't the nicest thing on the block, but it ran like a raped ape.
Who wants to resto mine? I just need the paint and body work done (even have the wife already approved that project). I got a local guy quote it who has some Mustang history, but a guy at work whom had his Boss 302 done by him told me not to touch him with a 10 foot pole. My other options are in Wisconsin and Conneticut, I would much rather keep the money in the family. Hint! Hint! Jason!

That's a freakin sweet ride Mr L. Definitely one of my all-time favorites.
If things don't pan-out with Scr8p and his dad, you can send it to me. I'll take real good care of her for ya.
Here's a pic of my uncle's Camaro. All the paint was done in the garage and masked by hand. The sheet metal work was done by hand as well. Unfortunately it's been gone for quite some time though

the car's been at my dad's place for about 2 yrs. we haven't been working on it that whole time, though. we finished up that black 55 olds we did, and did a 67 442 for that guy, too. here's what it looked like when it showed up. it was friggin rough. it actually came from your neck of the woods (texas), but i don't remember exactly where. sorry about the camera phone pic..................

Well what I wanted to be my DS ended up with the 10T body that came with the auction. Decals sealed the deal. I have since removed the bearings that I installed in place of the felt...

Hey just curious what htat body is? I've never seen it before.
Has anyone else experienced an increase in junk email and 'spam since joining this site? My filter catches most of it but at least two a day show up in my inbox.

in the past spam bots would collect all the emails on sites like this. However now days email is kept private so bots cant collect them. We also have the admin approve every member wich cuts down the spam accounts.
We've been having some real troubles with Spam lately. I don't know about Hoopty, but I've been deleting at least two spam posts a day for drugs, porn, stuff in Russian, whatever.
This is starting to suck. It's become so regular that I don't...
