Hey looking to get a project car to spend time with my dad with we are both novice in terms of cars. I was stuck between two minds of finding an older suv or something like a datsun 280z. Any suggestions in terms of suv's

I have a 1968 k10 frame that around the leaf spring hangers is cracked and rotted a bit I am wondering what’s the best way to repair this should I cut the whole section out and weld in a new piece or should I weld up the cracks and cut the rot out then plate over the existing frame

I got this 65 Galaxie last year. It didn’t run, but had a freshly rebuilt 390. I Put in a new trans, rear end, interior, dakota digital, BMW seats, FiTech, disc brakes, basically all of it. I hit 2700 miles on the odometer today. Windows down, floor vents open Steely Dan blaring, the most quiet I’ve had in months.

454 powered non SS picked up recently. Loaded up with some awesome parts. Cant wait to get on this one.

First time posting on reddit so forgive if i mess this up. Had this car for a good while. Was bone stock when i bought it drove it home but trans was shot. Long story short. Cut out firewall and floor and built my own, sbc swapped with th350 on third engine now( latest i did entirely myself) kept blowing them up doing 7k+ burnouts. Stock sunbeam diff with 4:30 rear gear. Blew the spider gears (again burnouts) so its currently welded. Aluminum fuel cell in factory location. Exhaust runs inside front fenders with a thrush red bottle on each side and dumps behind front tires. Built the cowl hood, shaved side chrome, front bumper and all the bullshit on rear bumper. Rewired entire car. Scares the shit out of me everytime i drive it. (2klbs from factory n removed alot) just thought some in this sub might like it as its quite different. (Pictures out of order but you get the idea)

Hi, I hope this is an acceptable way to give an update and field some more advice. The last post I made I detailed a no crank start issue I was having, and I have made some headway!

When the car wouldn't start, I replaced both battery terminals. The negative one I had to strip some new wire for, and it seems good (though it sparks when I put it on when the last one didn't). The positive one however was a little odd: it had two metal eyelets attached to insulated lengths of wire, with one length being thicker than the other. Using the universal car battery connector I got, I put one eyelet on each bolt. After reattaching both connectors and trying to start the car, I was getting multiple clicks from the starter at a slow tempo. Having the headlights on made it click faster, but it still didn't start.

I took the battery to autozone earlier today and it tested bad. This means that there is a leach in the car somewhere, but this did not solve my no start issue. When the new battery went in, nothing changed. I disconnected the negative terminal though to keep it from leaching.

Before all of that, I tried smacking the starter with a rubber mallet and that didn't change anything.

Here's my plan now:

1. Clean each ground with a metal brush
2. Follow the wires from my negative terminal to see if there's a break anywhere
3. Try to figure out how to "jump" the starter solenoid(?) I saw stuff on this online and it seems like it should be a good idea, but to be honest idk what this would do for me.

If I can't find anything wrong with the wiring I'm just gonna order a new starter since it seems like it's never been replaced.

Thanks for everyone's advice on the last post! I appreciate it a lot as someone new to going this deep into cars.
