I writing this because when I watch hot rodder tv, it makes me so jealous, working on old engines is soooooo much easier than an import, and there is so much more room to fit your wrenches and HANDS!

I used to own a 64 Ford Galaxie 500 convertible (pimpin ride), then I sold it for 15,000.00, man it was a dream to work on over my 240.

That's a project I've always wanted to do, early 70's datsun 510 with either a rotary or sr20det.

Sorry Bol. Your truck is too new to be considered an old hot rod.

Funny pic though.

I won't be able to. I'll have to remove the headers or remove body panels. It'll make spark plug changes a full day job haha.
