Would you sell just the rears?

You are correct. She went to the shop. In hindsight, I guess that wasn't real clear.

Well, trailer is reserved. She's going on a trip today!

Don't get me wrong. I love the car. I twisted every bolt on it. Not many people can say that, even on here. I want to be the guy driving it around on the street. I will sell it one day though, and move on to the next project. I'm just at a point where I've got to make a decision about how nice...

That's probably what's going to happen. I found a local shop that is going to throw it on the rotisserie and promises a 100% blast, fix my welds, and prime for a decent price; even including the interior and insides of mufti-layered panels. They said they would install the new cowl piece as...

I'm either selling it or taking it to a shop to get serious. http://loz.craigslist.org/cto/4868002673.html

Well, I ran her a couple times. Still smoking a bit, but settling down some. The idle is starting to settle a bit lower as well. I do think it is burning some oil, because it has a blueish tint to me; but it hasn't been enough to effect the oil level at all. It does seem to puff thick pure...

I'll probably try to run it a little more this weekend. An alternate theory someone else had mentioned is that some of my hydraulic lifters could be stuck and not closing the corresponding valve(s) properly. He had said running it might break them free if that was the case. I did run it for a...

Hello again everyone, Thanks for all the help on my previous problems. I know this came up in my old thread, but I figured I'll start this over fresh since it was a second order issue. Long story short is: -Car sat for approximately 2 years. -When I got it, the shipping company had messed...

Well, I didn't mess with it until today since it was a busy week with work. I took the carb off again and went ahead and rebuilt everything with the rest of the kit I hadn't used (except the choke parts). Got it all back together, put it on, and went to try and fire it up. Threw in a little...

I payed $1.85 in here in mid Missouri the other day. It has still slowly been going down though. My 2500 truck cost less than $40 to fill up. That was awesome.

Haven't gotten that far yet, but I will be interested in people's thoughts on this one too.

Here are some pictures. Only problem now is that it won't start. I went through this before, and it is acting exactly like it did when I rebuilt the airhorn assembly on the carb. I know it's fuel and not spark because it will fire up for a second with starter fluid. I know fuel is making it to...

I'm sure this is something simple on the carb, but I'm not familiar with all the different adjustments and connections. I read a couple posts, but none of them seemed to be the same to me. I believe the carb has a vacuum choke, but I have just capped all the vacuum lined to the carb up until...

Hello again everyone. I'm shopping around for air cleaners right now. This inside of my little edelbrock foam triangle got a little burnt from some starter fluid spray. That was always just my temporary one though. I always liked the idea of the ram air plenum, but I don't know if it will work...
