Can someone post a picture of a stovebolt? I can't figure out what a tapered head looks like.

You have wheelie bars, but not wheelies.

Wheelies: extremely dumb way to ruin front ends by quick acceleration that lifts the front wheels off the ground and immediately crashes them back down. Fun, but stupid and costly unless you are really good and can bring them back down softly.

The large bullets on 50s cars front bumpers were called Dagmars.

I think of stove bolts as 1/4 - 20 round head slotted screws, as used to hold the parts on a 1929 Chevy engine, thus it's called a "stove bolt 6".

I suppose a pan head screw (bolt) could also be considered a stove bolt.

I never thought of a flat head screw as a stove bolt, but maybe they are also.

aka countersunk head. Stove bolts also can have round heads or pan heads.

Elephant Motor - big block MoPar, especially hemi. Probably a reply to rat motor (big block Chev).

Leaning Tower of Power - MoPar slant six. aka Buzzin' Half-Dozen, probably from the sound an un-muffled one makes at high rev.

Also the timing gear cover.
