Re: rear ended by a toyota

Sorry to hear about that,Gregg. You decide to go with a bumper and can't find brackets, LMK. I might can find some down here.

Re: Gauge decals

Sorry for the Chevy content in a Ford forum (don't shoot!! :lol: ), but wanted you guys to see what he's capable of!
If it helps illustrate a source of parts to help on our Fords, it don't hurt my feelings at all. :2cents:

Re: Lambrecht Collection of Chevy Cars & Trucks

I'd love to have the 58 Cameo and/or the 63 red/white Impala. The cameo looks like it has roof damage to me. I feel like this country was blessed to have had the great cars and trucks that was built in the 50s and 60s on both sides of the fence IMHO.

It would set there and idle perfect and as soon as I'd give it some gas, it'd sound like it was running on two cyl. I unpluged the vac line and ole bessy smoothed out. It had been soooo l...
