Haven't posted in a while, thought I'd re-acquaint. This followed me home yesterday. I'ts a 57 chevy sport sedan. Still has the original 283/powerglide that runs as smooth as silk. For once , I didn't have to drag it on the trailer!! She is a very solid survivor with looks like one repaint but...

Picked up this 56 Chevy last month. It's a 210 more-door hardtop which is fairly rare. I love this body style especially since I cant afford 2 door versions. It's out of AZ, so it is rock-solid, 1st one I wont have to do any floor repair really or any rot repair on the body at least. The fenders...

Here's some pics of the rats at the Buffalo Motorama. Always some good cars at this. Enjoy...

Well, I put some flames on the car and Penetroled the whole thing. I hand-painted the flames to look as if they've been on there a long time. Got the interior done too, cheap blankets that my mom got from K-mart. Just waitin' for the weather to break. She runs and drives real good. Enjoy...

Well I'm at it again. Picked up this 54 Ford Customline. It's originally out of South Carolina and brought up here in '71 and put in a barn till I got it. Very solid with excellent patina. Motor was locked up so I fabbed in a smallblock and 2004r for reliability. Got some Lincoln towncar wheels...

Anyone on here going to this great show/party? I'll be there shootin flames and doin burn-outs. It's in Leroy NY. There is a website http://hardcorehappening.com/index.html This cool show is growing and is kind of a mini Jalopy Showdown. Jesse that runs it is a cool dude. Come on down and have...

Just put some Coker Classics on the wagon. Got 'em for $100 bucks for 5 tires from a dude who switched to radials. I think they really capture the look I am after. I also brushed some Penetrol on the body for preservation. The car has that "Classy Rat" look now if there is such a thing...enjoy

Well, the wagon is up and runnin damn good. The 350/powerglide pulls strong. The power steering is great and she stops real good. All my friends really like the look that it has. Puttin her on the road this week.

Kinda lookin for the best way to maybe chemically preserve restore the original finish on my wagon that I just dragged home yesterday. Got the motor ready to drop in and am in th process of re-doing the brakes. Pretty cool car when new as it was black with white top and red interior. Just gonna...

I've noticed differences in my cars, past and present, that the ones with HEI(meaning hotter,better spark) have more tolerance to todays gas than do the old points set-ups that are currently in my Pontiac and my 55 wagon. I never have the stalling out problems, misfiring occassional rough...

Is there such a thing as a muscle-rat? Well, I think this vehicle fits the bill. It's my new 67 El Camino I just picked up last week. I traded it for my old 71 Camino. This car is way more solid and I kinda like this body style better. Anyways, did a lot of fix-ups on the car in the last week...

Always wanted a 2 door wagon and finally scored one, a 55 handyman. It's in pretty good shape. Was done in the 80's and stored since 87. Did some horse trading for it, so got a good deal. I put a nice low mileage 283/powerglide from a 65 Chevelle that some one tore out to put a big block in. Put...

I heard that 53-54 Chevy brakes fit on my original axle, but I need clarification. Are they from the truck or the car of those years, anyone? I got a free Ranger rear on its way for the Hot-Rod conversion. Just starting to gather parts now for winter project. Thanx guys for any help for front...

Told myself I was done draggin somethin home for a while and look what shows up. Traded my 57 for this clean 30 Chevy Coach. All original (except wheels). Been sittin for 50 some years in a dry barn. Got her runnin and drivin already. Gonna run her as is while I fix it up. Enjoy...

Does this combination sound like it will work? Doing some changes to my lo-dollar rat 57 to make it more radical. Here is a list of what I have and what I want to do: -350 4-bolt 9:1 motor (lo-mileage stock) -.467/.467 110 degree cam -2400 rpm stall th400 tranny w/shift kit -3:55 rear gears...

Just found out about this show/party on the other site. It's this Saturday the 21st & it's only 20 minutes from my house, so I'm going. First I've heard of it. I guess it's been going on since '07. 60 & back hotrods, burn-outs, food, & camping on a farm. It's near Leroy,NY. Here's the website...

Just picked a nice 54 Pontiac StarChief. Runs and drives now that I tinkered with the carb, fuel pump and freed up the rear brakes. It is a really great driving car with powersteering and Hydramatic. I just love the dash...enjoy.

Here is my rat boat at my dock. It's a 1961 Starcraft Aluminum with a '61 Mercury 55 horse outboard. Got her runnin' a couple weeks ago and have been fishing every other day since. Not real fast but cruises nice. Show some of your rat boats if ya have 'em...:D
