My thoughts are get it going as original as possible within my means.

Yeah

Just substituted modern parts to get things going. Not a hack street rod job

I’ve encountered a couple instances where people can’t afford to completely restore a car. However, they can buy or substitute parts to get it going to live again. What’s the right thing? I want all original but is it better to make something live modified or scrap because it can’t be all original? I’d rather sacrifice a few things to make something live again. Your thoughts? Disclaimer- Super rare important cars don’t apply to this

My current project is a 63 SS Impala with all original driveline. Crusty but a fun companion to my 62. My 21 Haynes is a more complex project on hold

The cars are cool but, look at slim @edinmass

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing

What an incredible car!

Art on wheels. Thank you for sharing.

Super Cool!! I wish I had more time to see and experience these great vehicles

My 63 Impala SS project. Original powertrain still intact. Moved my 62 around a bit too. Fun fact for the 63 is that I put tags on it my grandad had on a 63 Pontiac on my car 60 years later. Cool stuff

Cool car for sure

A great song and tribute to the RAF pilots of WW2

ZZTop Fandango was the flavor of my short stint in the garage tonight. It was nice to get a little time out there tonight.

Great to see an action pic! It’s really fun carving apex’s up mountain roads in whatever!!! Cool pic

B.O.A.T Bust Out Another Thousand

Truth! A daily/work vehicle that can take a door ding at the grocery or hardware store without worry is a big relief!

Perhaps someone from the hotrod side of things will see something they’ve never known about in regards to original senior cars? I myself have mainly attended street rod, muscle car and racing events. I’ve found that there’s an entire world of amazing cars that are now orphaned brands. Now to be different, is to be original in my opinion. Everyone has seen a hopped up whatever with a SBC or LS in the engine bay. I’ve become a huge fan of cars from 1935 and prior and love all the different designs and engineering. Several things I didn’t even know existed before joining this forum. I didn’t know how interested I’d be until I learned more about them. Hopefully someone from the Hotrod crowd will find something new to them that’ll drive their car passion in a different direction? After talking with some members here I’ve realized a relaxing pace of a senior car tour better fits where I’m at in life rather than a drag race. I just hope no hot rod guys get stupid with burnouts and ruin things for others.

That’s a Campbell’s Can chambered exhaust setup. I’ve seen the less durable aluminum Miller Can setups before.

I’m really missing out on many cool car events. Work, family, blah blah blah. Glad I can at least see some pics and videos of these great cars and fun here on the forum. Thanks for sharing!!!

That’s really unfair for people buying new cars and paying insurance!! We’re facing repair supply shortages here in the Diesel engine world too. Something as small as head bolt repair sleeves aren’t available globally for 3400 and 3500 Cat engines. Considering a 3516 has 128 head bolt holes by itself, fabricating these repair items can really cause huge delays and added expense. I’m hoping for a change soon.

Sorry about both of your dogs Ed. I still haven’t had the heart to get another after losing mine. That’s really a tough deal. Best wishes to you and the wife.

Proves style is timeless. The age of plastic sucks

Beautiful Car!!

Great pics! Thanks for sharing.
