this car has the slim doorposts, so it's post 65. i think balljoint (and the ability to pull leaves to lower) came in 66, so i'm goin w/ 66. peashooters mean no power, period. headlights, fenders, and apron correct. possibly a future donor car for a nice motor.

lowered 62 beetle, 1641 and kadrons, no heat (had to have that header), 145s up front and bald 205s out back, ice storm. the no heat is the salient thing here — the rain froze onto the windshield instantly. I ended up putting the window down and reaching round the A-pillar to scrape a 4 inch square i could see…

not diggin the street rod door panels, but otherwise awesome.

is it me or does the giant ass on the 2+2 only look bad if you *don't* know about the ass on c6 vettes, which looks also-homemade?

of COURSE boyd put an SBC in it. like there was any QUESTION

it is completely appropriate that saturn be involved in a project to tear down a (dilapidated) historic building with style and replace it with a vinyl-sided shitbox Habitat dump. There's no way that house had to come down, but let's rip it down to put up a mobile-home looking plastic box that will fall in on itself…

did everyone just wait for the clip to buffer, do i have horribly slow internet (and thus watch it as it buffered) or did no one else see these two dickbags make death jokes about scott kalitta? yes, but either of these striped shirt &#$&@ks in a funny car and see what happens (other than a nomex suit no one will…

Vanagons usually get called Type 5s, not 2s.

@Sigsworth:

i am loving this thread. 93 is good for your fuel injectors, as my 45 year old V8 will demonstrate! Running lower octane will cause your ECU to advance OR retard timing as appropriate (it's a dice roll!). Low octane burns slower than high octane! Put 102 in your Kia, it will be like putting your knock sensor on…

@Mrb00st:

The R/T isn't bad at the end, but how're your 60 foots? Freiburger used to edit Hot Rod, so you'd expect him to be able to drive a car on the strip.

or this one...

i am always stunned when people put a roots blower on a bug. why, why, why, when turbos are so much more efficient and so much easier to fit? it is a 'fat chick' super, but i'm goin with the kafer.

turnkey S&S motor FTW. and yes, i meant, fuck the world. parts book choppers=argh

only a US V8 could allow that caddy to run those times w/ a slushbox (i saw no shifting?). the RUF is the real deal, including the massive amounts of countersteer w/out throttle (dare to lift in a RR car!). i think i counted 1 or 2 times where he got the ass loose on throttle. bring us back the evil porsches! (i…

i have commuted on my bike for the past year. i did a critical mass ride, ONCE, after discovering they are more into pissing people off than demonstrating that bikes are a legit way to travel. they wanted us to pack up in a lane and ride extremely slow (i was in the granny chainring spinning with one leg most of the…

so VW sues the shit out of all the aircooled shops in the US for daring to so much as spell the word VW in a magazine ad in 2004, then runs ads with aircoolers selling their modern cars? fuck you, volkswagen. that is all.
