1987 Olds Cutlass

JRiggs — Sun, 17 Aug 2008 06:00:13 GMT

As a child I grew living with my dad and step mom. I saw my real mom every other weekend. She had a friend Richard Fields aka Buckethead. He was a black gentleman and old enough to be my father. I was 7 when i first met him. My mother and I hid him for 11 yrs. He was my best friend. All that time he had a sweet cutlass. In 1998 he came to me and he was going to give me the car. Now how was i going to explain to my dad that a black gentleman was going to give me a car. Well that didnt go over ...

I might have to rethink my truck situation

junkyardjeff — Sun, 17 Aug 2008 05:29:16 GMT

I ended up taking my crown vic in the junkyard at Modoc so a certain two would not have to walk too much so maybe a crew cab is what I need,maybe I should put the 66 togather and sell it and use the drivetrain from the 77 to build a late 60s to late 70s crew cab. I am suprised I did not tear up the crown vic with the load in it driving around the junkyard and there is no way I could of drove the 77 with the regular cab so I might have to look into a crew cab in the future.

Corey's Stepside Chevy

Striping Stew 54 — Sat, 02 Aug 2008 06:01:35 GMT

Dad found a truck that I liked and I decided to fix it up with dads help. It has some ruff parts on it and the good looking parts ended up being worse.

The good looking parts of the truck was full of bondo and was in bad shape after we got a better look. The nice hood had been folded over. The nice fender had big holes mudded over. The one nice door was all patched up and the window regulater was garbage. The window would just fall down in the door when you close it. But all that will be ...

Water Pump Electric hell

RsvBill — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 01:29:04 GMT

Chadd Karr What the hell did I get into? I received the pump today , started to hook it up found myself confused...

So if your looking at the engine from the front with out the stock water pump... On the left side of the water pump there are 3 holes. 2 I know are for the bolts but the bottom what is the purpose for this? It actually looks like I may not be able to use this?

I know you said you were running one. So give me a tip or five..

turned down flames???

customcabby — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 17:25:09 GMT

my truck has the fuel tank behind the seat and i have turn downs after the rear end with flowmasters. i know the typical thing is to run tails all the way past the bumper but would it be possible to run them with turn downs? and would the gas be burnt well enough that it would not catch the pavement on fire?

Just wondering what you guys think? Would you call the cops on a junk car sitting on the street without tags on it?

Today someone called the cops to report a car that has been parked on the street for a while. A junk car with the windows busted out, no bumpers, hood or fenders and without a tag on the car. The cop drove down to ??? 317 lindsey street where my 34 Dodge is sitting in front of my house. lol

I do have a 1961 tag on the back but the good tags are in the front floorboard. I drove ...

Another junkyard trip this saturday

junkyardjeff — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 14:18:10 GMT

I might have to go to Modoc again and get a set of exhaust manifolds for the 460,the ones I got were supposed to be for a truck but they are for a car and there is a set over there. I am trying to talk someone out of a set but after getting the pics only the pass side is for a truck which will be OK but I would like to get a matching pair,car manifolds will work on the drivers side but the pass side is totally different. Truck manifolds have ribs cast in them and cars dont so it will look goofy ...

'58-62 ish 283 with heads, carb and 2 barrel intake. The guy I got it from said it was "rebuilt wrong", so he yanked the heads off and threw them in the back of the truck. I just pulled the motor and I'd like to get rid of it, if anyone can use it for a mock-up.

$75 I'll get some better pictures here soon
