Heard ALOT of GREAT things about this show and how its the best in the world, but sadly I will not be making it anytime soon although it is on my bucket list someday. Have fun to whoever goes and please take and post alot of pictures! By the way Mr. Devil… there is already a post on this show...

Nothing wrong with pride in ownership. A lot of guys don’t have the time, facilities or the skill set necessary to build a car. They still have every right to enjoy the hobby, even if all they can do is write a check. My biggest peeve is guys that lobby for votes at the local shows, I swear...

Happiest of Birthdays!

I've never had a show car and likely never will (due to cost). Years ago I had a very nice 70 Chevelle convertible that looked like it could be show quality until you were actually right up next to it. Drove it to the Peggy Sue car show in Windsor, CA. As we got near the venue there was a ton...

Yeah, what’s up with this? I see it more and more. Hey look at me, I got a corvette.

Agreed , letting others enjoy your car is great . 12 buck trophy not so much.

I just bought some Timkins for my 74.

Its a shame how many of these cars are sitting in these fields. I saw a few very desirable cars. He is saying in the video that all the cars are "salvaged" titles. But Ive read you can clear that if you restore the car. Is that true in every State?

Buying a car is fair enough. Buying it to win trophies? Meh.

High vol pump has a stiffer spring which can and does wear out the little pushrod that works the pump. A hardened fuel pump pushrod may be your solution. Ive been there. Dont want to go back. Good luck.

Happy Birthday

Now we go full circle, back to "built it or bought it". JHC...

I don't think the issue is with buying and enjoying a beautifully restored vintage car...it's with those owners trailering their queens to the prom and fussing over winning trophies on a car they just bought. I knew a guy in high school just like that. Rich kid, bought himself a done mid-60's...

Yes on the inside. I did it because there's nothing supporting the sleeve in the front.

I managed to drop the trans fluid out of the’58 without making a mess, that may be a first for me. There was a little clutch dust in the pan and some super fine particles stuck to the magnet, but not enough to cause any alarm…

Having said that, a Bee or an R/T that were optioned with my bucket seats and console would be top notch. But I happen to like the 500 emblem and taillights.

They are not really expensive cars overall. $30,000 gets you a nice one. Being paint is $15k and a drivetrain rebuild can go to $10k. Getting one in really nice shape is a much better idea. Buying a beat up car for $8k and spending another $40k on it vs. paying $30's for a well done car? Happy...

I have to somewhat agree. My time is better spent making a good wage than trying to restore a car that's way outside of my skill set and capabilities/tools/resources. If I had half the skills of the average FBBO member I'd try the building route myself. "A man has to know his limitations" and I...
