What were the chances that the car would have had a four speed behind the Flathead Ford, back in the day ? What tranny would this have been ? Most were three speeds as this (high performance) Zephyr

Just when I was gettin' used to bonnet,boot,wing and dynamo. I taught high school auto mechanics for eight years. This was one of my lessons. Dizzy is used here with the tuner crowd.

I've had very good results with the buffing method.think about what happens on the real car.

Time to swap out for a Deuce grill :

Pet peeve : the use of hip, jargon terms for automotive parts not in popular use, i.e. "dizzies".

Stu wines the prize, SBC headers on a HEMI.

I figured it out. I think. Ooops, we put a topic in "The Wrong Section" ? Some times I put things in the "General " section because I feel it has interest and will be well received. If you look at the numbers it makes scene to put things here. Sure they could go in another section, but "should" they ? Just because that's how they could be categorized ? More people look here (General) than the other areas.So why deprive them of this information ? Just an example : http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=54823 Sure it was a like to another thread, I just thought a lot of people would have missed it otherwise.

There has been a bunch of talk about what bugs you about one thing and another. Surely there are others.Is ther anything you look for on a build? Is there something that just jumps out at you? I'm not talking build quality here, just those little things that get to you. See anything here ? Sometimes reality trumps what you see.

Yes.I found I didn't care much for Sena either. That's the feeling I couldn't pin down, sad, but not.

Take what you get. It's all about price and availability. Sometimes new vs old may make a difference depending on what's inside the box. With reissues having more or fewer parts.

Chevy to replace Impala in 2013 with another Chevy brand: Chevrolet is developing a new car with a new name for its 2013 NASCAR entry, replacing the Impala used by Team Chevy, and plans to eventually market and sell the new model to consumers. The dealership and racing versions of the car will be unveiled this year, after the New York auto show in April, spokesman Monte Doran said. The new car will use a nameplate not currently in Chevy's lineup. Neither the car nor its name will be a derivative of an existing one, such as the new Malibu or the upcoming redesigned Impala, Doran said. General Motors wouldn't reveal details. "We are keeping the wraps on the new car for now and will continue to prepare for next season by testing camouflaged vehicles," Jim Campbell, vice president of Chevrolet performance vehicles and motorsports, said in a statement. "We know that Chevrolet fans are eager to see the new race car, and we hope that the prospect of being able to own one just like it will make the wait a little more bearable." The new car may be a version of the Chevy Caprice currently imported from Australia for U.S. police forces. Inside GM, a plan to develop a Chevy performance sedan like the Caprice for consumers was on-and-off in recent years because of concerns that it wasn't a high-profit vehicle, people familiar with the situation said. Australia's Holden brand currently offers consumers a variation on the U.S. Caprice. Along with developing the new performance sedan, GM is redesigning the current Impala, which will be built at the Detroit-Hamtramck plant and is expected to hit showrooms by spring 2013. The automaker is also rolling out a redesigned Malibu.(Detroit Free Press, more at MotorTrend and a past post at AutoWeek)(3-13-2013)
