1965 Shelby Ford Cobra - or maybe not …

Did nobody else notice that it's a 385 series engine and not an FE? -
Average folks doing car stuff...
OneTrickPony replied to Ace-Garageguy's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Back in the early 70s, I was in HS and had a part time job at a local repair shop. There was a used car lot in the area that had a reputation for selling junk but the cars always looked nice. One day a guy came in with a Chevy Nova he had just bought from them with a 6 cylinder engine. It was missing real bad and the salesman had told him it just needed a tune up. The boss checked it out and it had zero compression on one cylinder. The customer oked pulling the head. When we got it off, there was no piston or rod in the hole. -
Do you also have 1:1 project cars?
OneTrickPony replied to ctruss53's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I am just finishing up a 12 month project, repainting my 70 F100. I had a few small rust repairs to do, then a full repaint with color change. -
The Mystery Car...
OneTrickPony replied to Falcon Ranchero's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Is that 2 chrome exhaust tips sticking out the back? It looks like VW exhaust, making it likely a VW based kit car. -
Tiger Paw Yellow Stripe Tires
OneTrickPony replied to Falcon Ranchero's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
In 1976, I worked for an auto parts store that also sold Uniroyal tires. I remember Tiger Paws, but not the yellow stripes. What I remember most was that the Uniroyal tires were mostly junk. We had lots of problems with balance and cord separations. By 1977, we quit the tire business because of all the warranty issues. -
Tribute to Snake45
OneTrickPony replied to bobthehobbyguy's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I mostly just lurk on this site. I always opened Snake's posts, no matter the topic. He will be missed. RIP -
I have a 1/18 die cast I bought several years back. It's by Road Signature.

It may not help when selling single kits but I have been using pirateship.com for larger boxes. It's generally 3/4 the price of UPS online and can save on USPS, too.

"Customer states..."

Yeah, I especially love the ones where they say "my bf/brother/dad just fixed it." -
AMT Y block?
OneTrickPony replied to junkyardjeff's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Definitely not an accurate representation of a Y-block. They use a 1-2-1 exhaust pattern that comes out the side of the head. As mentioned above, they resemble a small block Chevy on the exhaust side. That looks more like an FE exhaust and the oil filter is in the FE location. The valve covers resemble Y-block items, though.
