I'm currently running a little gutless 305 in my '27. Naturally, its gutless by my own doing as I wanted a wicked sounding engine and ended up putting way too much cam in it. Sounds mean as F***, but it really is gutless - all bark and no bite. With that being said, I have a 350 set aside...

Bought the ole lady some new tires/wheels this weekend. Was a hard decision, because nothing wrong with my old tires/wheels - other than the fact that they were rally style wheels and not exactly the style I wanted - hell my tires were only 6-8 months old, and the tires i bought were a bit more...

I'm about to pull the trigger on a set of used tires/wheels from a friend. Among wheels/rings/disks that I'm completely in love with, they also include a set of MT Cheaters. I went over there to take some pictures so I could post an ad for him, but for fun, decided that I wanted to see one of...

My wifes Ford Escape is getting a bit old and high on the miles, was about time to start thinking about replacing it. Wife decided that she wanted another Escape, but i didn't want to pay that much for a car. I strategically posed the question - wouldn't you rather have a sled? We can get a...

Anybody going? Sachse, TX, 6-11 tonight?

...You never go back??? I've been toying with this for a while now, but keep talking myself out of it. But the recent Jack Daniels commercial with the RPU - with black steelies is making me re-address this option because it reminds me how much i really like the look. I have red wheels...i...

I have a mechanical VDO speedo, and its always been very steady up until a couple of days ago. At a dead stop, it said i was doing 20, and was all over the place while driving - when doing an estimated 40-45mph, it said i was doing anywhere between 30 and 75, just bouncing all over. I...

I've brought this up before...have tinkered a bit, and think its time to bring it up again. I had a a 305 with a stock cam, quadrajet carb, & stock torque converter. I picked up a thumper cam from comp cams and while it absolutely sounded kick *** - it would stall whenever i put it into gear...

///Begin Rant... Christ...you never realize how bad roads are until you cruise around them in an 84 year old vehicle. Dallas area highways are completely F'ing up my car. Hit two major bumps on I20 today - felt like rear end went airborn. Now my deck lid won't stay closed - and the...

Pardon me if this is a dumb question, as I'm still learning the ropes (and will be for quite some time). I have a 305, with a TH350 w/manual shift valve body. Do I need a high stall converter to run with one of those thumper cams?

Rented a camera (nicer than my shooter) for a photoshoot over the weekend. Wanted to try to squeeze in some time and do a proper photoshoot of my car since she hasn't had one yet. But I was never able to find the time, and only had a few minutes to snap a few pictures at sunset before heading...

Anybody here running original plates from the original year your car was made? Any issues or problems getting the DMV to accept the plate? I just purchased an original '27 Texas Plate and plan on having it registered to my Roadster. I think it has a nice mixture of fade & rust, but not so bad...

Last spring, while building my car, i picked up a set of wheels, accent rings, babymoons and wide white Bias Ply's at a swap meet. Tires were a bit used, but got the entire set for a steal. But, in a way, i got wha i paid for...one of the rear tires is bad, and i'm about to have to buy a...

Dallas area car club The Concrete Lizards is hosting their annual New Years Day car show at Taco Casa in Garland at I-30 and Broadway. Usually a pretty descent show. Last year they had 180+ registered cars. Its an open show with proceeds going to Jonathans Place. Hope to see some of you...

Took some senior photos of my wifes Nephew earlier this year. Just got around to editing them. Spent a few dollars and a bit of time building the car, figured i'd use it for something other than annoying neighbors and scaring old ladies - so i put it to use as a photoprop. His hair has more...

Hello all - new to the forum here. Thought i'd share my first build on this forum. Backstory - my father-in-law is heavy into street rods. I've always loved cars, but never knew crap about them. Never even changed my own oil before this build. Been going to car shows constantly since...

Hello RRR, My name is Justin, and live in the Dallas, TX area (Rockwall specifically). I recently "finished" my first car. Built a '27 Ford Roadster under the supervision of my father-in-law. He is experienced in this hobby, but I had never changed my own oil before taking on this project...
