    Vintage Car Thread - Discussion and Parts Requests

    That original paperwork is VERY cool. It would appear that the car is in the right hands and I hope you post pics of it going down the road under its own power. On a side note, I picked up a side job rebuilding the engine in a neighbors '66 VW (1641cc w/ engle 100 cam and dual webers). This...

    It is a nice car, but a 4 door flatroof bel air isnt going to fetch anywhere NEAR 8 grand in that condition. Wishing you luck and I hope she will sell it to you. edit: try here for parts. http://fillingstation.com/

    Teenage Photos of YOU - If You Dare!

    I had just turned 16 in this picture. I was lowering the car so I could scrape up road dots when I changed lanes. :eusa_doh:

    Sears to close more stores as holiday sales slump

    I worked for Sears as a mobile tech. I can say first hand that they are concerned with the almighty dollar. It was all about selling protection agreements, dishwasher cleaner and new appliances. The district office in Sacramento where the service call routing department is would always stack...

    I sold my 64 chevy today, so now I only have one car that is newer than 1959 (not including my daily driver). So that leaves me with...uhh....err...hmmm.... 8 cars.

    The only "upgrade" I would make to the car is to find a set of the factory steel wheels like this: http://www.cruisenclassics.com/images/29Chevy004.jpg. After I kick the ragtop out of the garage, I'll unbury the coupe and give it a good looking over and see where I should start.

    You would be correct about lack of maintenance. This car had been sitting since 1967 when I picked it up and I'm sure it would drive beautifully if it was restored with new and rebuilt parts, but it is going to require A LOT of work. I have seen far too many old cars taken apart when the owner...

    L. A. Noire (video game)

    My girlfriend bought a ps3 and L.A. Noire for my birthday back in July. I have beaten the game a couple of times now and just enjoy driving around. Is this the best game ever made? No, but it's still fun.

    Here is a picture of my '29 Chevrolet coupe. It is in very good original condition, but I'd rather have something I can drive farther than just around town. Mechanical brakes and wood spoke wheels are scary on the street, let alone putting the backroads between towns. edit: forgive the mess.

    Adjusting to small town life.

    I have always felt that Santa Rosa (pop. 167,815) was small town compared to the cities around me (San Jose, San Francisco, Oakland, and Fremont) I think I'd go crazy in a town that rolls up the sidewalks after dark. :p

    Dog ownership - questions, costs??

    I found a Rott puppy in a box by the door of a grocery store. I had no idea what I was getting myself into since she was my first dog. I spent a lot of $$$ and time on her and I wouldn't trade it for the world. It truly is nice to have someone that is always happy to see you walk through the...

    Driving golden era cars in the modern era

    Driving golden era cars in the modern era

    I've found some already done up, but I'd rather have a project. I have way more satisfaction when I build it myself and drive it around than if I buy a turnkey vehicle. I'll probably sell my '29 chevy/'36 ford to raise the money or see if someone will trade for the ww2 ton 1/2. As far as...

    Driving golden era cars in the modern era

    I know this is a bit out of the ordinary, but ive been looking for an old KW for a while as a project. My father and grandfather ran a trucking business and I've grown up around them my entire life. I have an early 50s UPS trailer and a set of early 50s flatbed trailers still. I just need the...

    Vintage airplanes

    I love old aircraft. There is an air museum local to me and I just sit out there for hours staring at the lines of the old war birds. Simply beautiful. Sadly, the closest I can get to wrenching on old aircraft is my 61 vw. (aircooled engine.:D)
