Not sure I understand?? You’re ( or your buddy) is painting it… what about a stock paint job is so much more expensive?

My kinda chopper! Looks killer.

One of the nice things the PO did do was the suspension and a front disc conversion. Minus the sloppy steering, it’s a pretty tight...

Was too hard to look at that sloppy mess the PO made haha.

Thanks for that. I’ll keep it bookmarked. I got a new box from classic industries for under $300 bucks shipped to my door next day...

The PO did a wonderful job of cutting out the original dash to put a modern radio in. So wonderful in fact, it was too big and the radio...

Been looking for this for about a week. Started taking the rear bumper off the Falcon and the bolts were stuck… got distracted and...

When I was a kid living in New Hampshire, if you hit a deer, as long as it wasn’t intentional, you were allowed to keep it. Being the...

I’ve always heard them referred to as “burrs”

Back when people changed their own oil.

I’m sure they are outlawed here is California too.

A simpler time…

Definitely been painted. Looks metallic, not original color, I don’t mind. Painted before 2020. 4+ years should show if rust was...

I think I get it now… Unsafe at any speed?? It seems the corvair got the most heat. Well, we want to cruise down to the beach and...

I’m too young to get that one haha. Lay it out for me??
