For the record, "Corinthian Leather" is a meme created by Chrysler.

Bueno

That's the joke.

>tfw pull the Lincoln into the shop so I can grease the front end and U-joints and the left rear shock literally starts to drip oil out as I bring it in

Well, time for new shocks all around I guess. At least I can get the pretty cheap through the work discount at Napa

...

I was on call today, so I did nothing but drive around taking pictures I thought might be interesting.

...

...

...

No, Corinth is famous for it's leather.

...

great pics man. seeing the progress on that truck makes me so happy.

Picked this up a month ago.
9/10 exterior
7/10 interior (race stripped, no heater/ac)
Engine swapped for a 347 Stroker making 460bhp

What would /o prioritize doing to it to make it a reliable and safe daily driver?

Let it be known, this is very much my first classic and I truly have next to no idea what I am doing. Was considering swapping the recirculating ball steering for a modern rack and pinion. Maybe power steering? Or is that a bitch move?

>to make it a reliable and safe
kill the douchebag in the picture

>he fell for the Corinthian meme

Can I play with you guys?
I-it says classic right on the trunk lid...

Finally ready to build my 347. Any thoughts/comments on my parts list before I order?

if you stop being a faggot

dont fuck up classic cars

Stop making me feel old

Please don't daily it. When you crash, it'll be awful, and commuting will be hell.

Just take 'er out on weekends

Take it from someone that daily drives a classic. Buy a fucking Honda, you stupid asshole. It's great to have a toy you can appreciate, but god dammit kid daily a beater.

>reliable
buy a shitbox to daily
>safe
buy a shitbox to daily

you wont forgive yourself if you crash it, it might get stolen, they're really hard to daily drive if you're running non standard parts and engines so its harder to keep on top of repairs

I force myself to drive an 04 Falcon everyday

So I've got a question about detailing these old cars. From what I've seen the paint on them appears to be a single coat acrylic with no other sealants or protectives in it. What is a safe way to care for the paint?

...

Muy

Just got my first quote for my 403 build, 1500 without any work to the stock heads yet, and that's if the cylinders don't need bored.

>love big comfy American barges
>know a place that sells them
>gas is 1,5€/L so not happening anytime soon
Can these things run on LPG or something

Where are you from?

Italy. The cheapest I've seen this year was 1,349€/L and that was for a couple days

Yes they do run on lpg, I guess you are european just like me so my advice is that you just pay more for gas and drive them on vikends becouse from my experience and experiences from my friends who also own american cars these systems are expensive, they have to go on regular services, not really reliable, takes a lot of room and you cant park in underground garages and sometimes you can sense the smell of gas in the car. Also the system fucked my jeep 4,7. I personally think lpg systems are rubish. I dont know about your country but where i live classics have 90% discount on all the taxes so with gas money included my chevy caprice is still cheaper to run than fucking twingos(if you exclude the tires, oil and other yearly basic maintinence stuff). Also I dont know why the fuck are you concerned about fuel consumption, americans were producing the best overall cars up until the 90s(now they are back at it) so if you can't feed it dont buy it becouse people like you usually enjoy letting the car rot in the garage after the purchase and dont destroy it with stupid lpg

That's a nice 9c1 user, stock I assume?

Was this taken during the Civil War?

Yes, just before General International's last charge.

Thanks, bro.

I could tell by the sepia tone and the fact that no one was smiling. Was this near the Battle Of The Straight 6?

My baby

Little known fact: it was actually the battle of Oil Run, where the General International's leaky valve covers saved the day by causing several enemy units to totally spin out in rad fashion.

>when you keep finding more and more questionable rust

First my pinch welds now my floor plan

get out the sheet metal grinder and mig gun

Once i gather all the parts for a 4 speed swap i'm going to wicked on that floor.

make sure you buy gas. You can't weld sheet metal with fluxcore wire.

Well you can, but it'll be swiss cheesed to fuck.

>find this in the ads during the holidays
>torn between 'rationally moving on' and 'a fucking hearse daily driver'
>considered making a call today
>suddenly the ad is gone
And another one slips away.

Everyone who was telling that dude not to daily a classic are all huge faggots btw

well, he's not wrong

How much have you got into this project all in?

About $400 in parts and a $2000 car if you don't count the V8 that's sitting around

I daily drive a classic; it's great. Gas cost is the only downside.

Let me know if you want any specifics.

what kind of porn specifically do you like

Not sure why you'd want to know THAT; I meant that I'd answer any questions about daily driving classic cars.

I know what I want to know

Has anyone here driven a 1970 Plymouth Roadrunner? Are they any good? Would Veeky Forums recommend buying one?

if u got nothing to hide u got nothin to fear

it's a Detroit-made RWD V8. It'll be fine.

That said, knowing Mopars the cowl is going to be rusty and if the kickdown was mis-timed the transmission is on its way to blowing up.

Just bought this yesterday. 1964 meteor.
Frame solid, three small patches needed in trunk pan & floor. Runs & drives. Paid 1800 CAD.
What does Veeky Forums think, am I winning or did I fuck up?

Sorry about the upside down. I don't know why that happens

Well, I was planning to pretty much turn the thing into a proper race car for track days, but thanks for letting me know that.

>being australian

Ok; honestly, I hate porn. After I had actual experiences with a woman, I found the stories they created too contrived, the women over-the-top and and insufferable; the whole experience was something I wasn't able to tolerate. The only thing I can stand are VNs.

The preious owner had done some work in it. Rear differential and transmission is from an impala ss, and he had the computer reprogrammed to remove the limiters and improve performance. Was a fast beast until my vacuum line rotted. Gonna get them replaced soon, just gotta gather the materials to make new lines.

You guys ever use discord?

What's discord?

Also, what do you guys think of dropping this bad Larry on my international? It's pretty close to period correct.

No, stop shilling shit like this. Just post in the fucking thread. If people wanted to post about classic cars with names they'd go to Reddit. Tripfags and namefags can off themselves

Current bid on this is 18k. What a beauty.

This, this general exists for a reason, there's no reason to use some shitty other site.

Basically it's an IM client with voice and vidya gayme support. It was originally for gamers, but not so much anymore.

Yeah, it's k. Better than IRC because you don't lose messages when you're away, and better than Faecesbook because it's not pigfat.
I just use it for chatting with my friends though.

>tfw you go to the weekly show and there guys that actually race their cars
sucks how rare that is around here

Someone validate my whackerism

cool af my dude

I've been out of the loop on your truck, you're just sanding the black down right?

Except it's a Chinese botnet that funnels your data to advertising companies. Everything you say or type is used as marketing. It's funded by a Chinese corporation notorious for data mining, and nobody seems to find it odd that it suddenly boomed in popularity despite there being significant, entrenched competition in the VOIP segment.

Furthermore, browser-based software is awful, depriving you of the right to know what the software is doing in your computer. You might as well spread your asshole and shove a big red Chinese dildo up it.

Removing it with lacquer thinner. The hood was primed so it's the hardest part. The rest wasn't prepped at all, so it wipes right off.

Also, slowest train ever.

I made an video for my deucation class on the pontiac firebird. If you got 25 min you might see my sexy body ;)
youtube.com/watch?v=PWyV1eJcQC8&t=1443s

where is the sexy body tho

I've been neglecting the Impala lately. I have no idea why, I fucking love this car. The new paint job makes me love it even more. It so quiet and comfortable compared to the International.

you'll have to watch it to find out

i did! I didn't see no body tho

Fuckin trips of truth

...

Ill give a hint. I am a regular poster in this general with a second gen trans am.

Also checked

I would pound dat boi pussi

>boi pussi
It's "boipucci" heathen

GTFO with that bullshit

PLEASE post footpucci

How difficult would it be to get a '68 Oldsmobile 442 wagon? I'd prefer a '68 because the grille is beautiful.

Muh dick

*blocks your path*

A dude in a facebook group i'm in just posted this

Allow me to interrupt a moment.

Nice 'Bird. I love these late '70's cruisers. I know the same platform was used for the Ranchero, the Lincoln Mark V, and there was also an LTD coupe. What's under the hood? 351W? Also love that it's rocking the "opera" window.

Not mine but it's a 77 and I believe that there's a 351 in it.
This 79 is mine
