Sooo... In all my searching I have found just this one model of a C-body, besides a couple late 50s Imperials that is... http://www.modelroundup.com/product-p/amt-6826.htm

Lol my photoshop is MS Paint, and I know its terrible... but I would build this as a completely stripped Land Speed car that would run Competition Coupe, I'd probably run the stock drivetrain and try to make the suspension as sound as possible. I know it's wrong-looking but isn't the...

Does anyone else do this? I can never get to sleep until 3-4 am, and I always end up spending the wee hours bench racing with myself, often making a build sheet for a car I pluck from somewhere on the internet, or some poorly done photochopping, but for the last year or so I've began to obsess...

Welcome back and happy healing! My Dad is actually a personal trainer who specializes in post-PT work. He claims that a person can bounce back from just about anything with enough work (trust me when I say he knows firsthand), so stick with it! Also just pointing out I'm not advertising for my...

Hey thanks guys! I'm always happy to add pics to my desktop, and theres some awesome ones here!

Sooo 9 months later, but the first time I've been through this and I have to ask. Do your heads have hardened valve seats? Modern gas burns hotter (or something like that) and will eat the valve seats away... and it doesn't take terribly long from what I understand. Otherwise nice build... makes...

Just finished reading this from start to finish. BTW my name is Zach, and I'm also a Michigander lol. I agree with every compliment I've seen so far, as you are doing great work. Finally, as a welder, I've been fairly impressed with how quickly your welds have gone from barely passable to quite...

I just finished reading through and I'm loving it! I'm one of those people who believe in customizing and rodding and I really like the direction you're going. I do think that you should do the roof white, maybe with a dash of silver flake to give it some character... and maybe throw in a white...

Wow, you're doing some damn fine metalwork. And BTW I love the Italian stump method... that's how all those sexy race cars up to the 70s were formed, with a hammer and a stump... Also, as a welder I would like to compliment your welds. I see 100k show cars with much worse work done... Finally...

Mount a flip-out stop sign on the door and you'll be in business... lol

Yeah I'm pretty sure the drag racing was what killed the dual range hydramatic trans... which ended up being one of the reasons I got rid of it. After that I ran my Caddy, which ironicly was one of the faster cars in the group of us that always went. It was just fun to race. I didn't...

When I was in Ft. Sill there was a nearby 1/8 mi track that I used to run my 55 Pontiac at... it was (surprisingly) not the slowest car there, that title went to my buddies XJ12 lol... nothing competitive tho

So as an American I have to ask how hard it is to get an MOT for something like that. Or is it exempt?

A man after my own heart... tho I need a Newport for a DD and a New Yorker for my Newbird idea and a 300 to cruise in and a T & C to tow with and... yeah lol. Fusies

So is the shirt talking about grades or boobies? Either way, I want one...
