  1. Did anyone in the late 50's early 60's run modified intakes to run 4 barrel carbs?
  2. I think I'm gonna go back to building LEGO'S. You guys are way out of my league!!! Wow!! That is stunning work
  3. THATS the one I'm after!! Ever since I saw that episode of FAST-N-LOUD that featured that 48 sedan build, I've been watching and waiting. Anyone have a guestimate on a time frame?
  4. I agree on the molding.That kit is one of my favorites, but the price tag the first time around gave me sticker shock!! Wasn't gallaxie going to bring out the sedan version of the 48?
  5. I have the 48 aerosedan in my stash. I'll have to check it out tonight. I plan on a sbc for that one anyway.
  6. I was on the inliners sight last night. Got a BUNCH of ideas to try. I'm gonna be spending half the weekend in my stash scrounging parts!!! The twin 6 digger, and the roadster look awesome guys!! The head from the 51 belair kit has the exhaust on the passenger side. The twin pipes/header exits the passenger side. I'll need to change that(?).
  7. I remember those days well as a kid. (in black and white) . My older brother had a Vega panel that had a 302 cross ram engine out of a 69 z-28 in it. It had the flame job over black, supertricks, slapper bars, The gearing out back wasn't quite right cuz when he got on it too hard, it would tear the rear mounts looses!! That was one white knuckle ride!!
  8. ???!!! What a waste.....
  9. Your 39 reminds me a lot of the "Jolly Dolly" of Bob Bernardon. It was one of the prettiest (and fastest) gas coupes of its day!! Beautiful work!!
  10. Are those HOLLEY two barrels on that intake?!!
  11. Thanks for the tip. I tried different ways of entering "chevy straight six" but didn't find much. you saved me a bunch of scratching around!!
  12. Thanks for the pics!! I want to build up a 6 to put in a 51 Chevy Belair, and need an engine built just enough to fit into either "E" or "F" gas class. But I need to stay in the late 50's to 60's timeframe.
  13. Has anyone built a chevy six for the early 50's shoeboxes? Anyone have pics or ideas?
  14. That's COOL!!! Nice 58!! Like the patina.
  15. Wow!! Now THATS clean!!! outstanding work.
  16. The look of that car is MEAN!!! Outstanding work. I've always loved the look of the old Mopars.
  17. Good Deal!!! I have a Mack R calling it's name....
  18. Been wanting to pick one of these re-issues up, but wanted some input from anybody who has built this kit. Any of the usual fit issues with the older molds? ect...
  19. I was just there earlier this evening. Their stock is going more toward diecast kits. While nice in they're own way, not really my cup of tea. Does Wally World still carry kits? Been awhile since I've seen any in Marietta.
  20. Just checked out your site. WOW. I'm gonna need another job to pay for everything I want!!!
  21. That song couldn't be more true. Sorry to say:(
  22. I like coming to C town to look into the local hooy shops. Do you think there is ever a chance that they would turn the old IX center into a huge hobby shop??
