    Golden-Era Hot-Rodding

    Cruisin around last friday, burned up the old starter, had to pop the clutch and head back to the shop. Threw in a new one monday and we're back in business. I took the fam up to the Syracuse Nationals on Sunday, very hot and kinda "Lean". I was expecting more....CARS, but instead I found tons...

    new throttle cable brackets fabbed up and mounted in the Plymouth and it works like a dream. Allmost to easy so I changed out the spring to a stiffer one and it's perfect. Bombing around the city the last two days, keeping within a few miles of the shop, just to break things in a bit. Adjusted...

I've been trying to load a few new pics of my 50 Plymouth from last friday night when she hit the road for the first time since last september.

    I pulled the cable and bracket off the donor vehicle last night(Chevy Suburban with a 350 that we later found had a cracked block) but unfortunately my buddy had removed and misplaced the gas pedal assembly. I had to modify the bracket a little cuz the cable didn't reach the throttle arm at...

    The billet is what Lokar offers and I'd never!! The cable linkage is pretty much the industry standard since the 60's so it must work.

    Golden-Era Hot-Rodding

    Hit the road with my 50 Plymouth last friday..first time in 10 months. Gas peda still not right and scary as hell, she's terribly stiff at idle and then "pops" to mid throttle nearly tearing the rear end off and slapping the drive shaft off the floor boards. Installed air shocks to help stiffen...

    My 50 Plymouth Special Deluxe hit the pavement last Friday night for the first time in 10 months! Took her a few miles from the shop to a local cruise night, great reception on her new look but scary as hell driving her. Gas pedal linkages are still not correct to work smoothly so it's either...

    Golden-Era Hot-Rodding

    I've been fiddling with the gas pedal/throttle linkages for two days now and I think I've finally got something acceptable that works. Seem like such a simple thing until you get to that point and it doesn't work. But I got it working with a few slight modification and then set to work trimiiing...

    I forgot there were other threads on the same topic. The 350 is in the Plymouth and It looks fantastic, nice fit with minimal hassle. The big v8 is lighter than the original straight 6 and for that we trimmed a coil off the springs. Also moved the upper shock mounts to the frame rail, not sure...

    Driving golden era cars in the modern era

    I was at my buddies shop yesterday dropping off the front sheet metal that I cleaned all up and coated with POR15, also a little more cash to grease the wheels. The car was down off the lift and I could see how she's coming along. Despite my frustration with the schedule and now the bill, I've...

    Time and money..time and money! Neither one seems to be in great abundance for me! At the mercy of the mechanic is right, especially when the car lays in pieces in his shop. No matter how frustrated you get at how little is accomplished, you've got to keep a smile on your face and don't piss...
