Another customer of mine had one, a wagon with extra doors. He had a bunch of kids. I could align it, but had to leave the garage door open. It...
I used to do alignments for a cab company on those. Built like a tank indeed. They were pretty spartan inside. Figure 8 drivers loved those...
I have 3 point retractable belts in my Ford. They kept me secured in a couple of hard stops.
Maxi fuse for sure. I have one 50 Amp that came with the harness kit.
I was scrapping cars for a living some years ago and a new Chevette comes in, dropped off a transporter with the roof crushed. The adjuster stood...
I'm not big on proportional valves myself. On something like this car, I would go distribution block. It is a lot less complicated. I have CPP...
Some real famous racers in the mix, Petty, Buck Baker... very cool.
Pictures... we like pictures... :D
The kitchen junk drawer... garage style.. :cool::cool::cool:
I passed one up a couple years back, for $23k and had a lot of nice work done to it. This was at a cruise event. I hope it went to a good home.
After you have worked with them, you can size them from across the room. Buy a wrong one, return it? He'll no... it goes in the rollaway top...
I have a Daytona book that went back that far. I have also driven on the beach there from one of the access paths off A1A. This must have been...
I run an 11 inch Zoom in my car. I use a cast iron 1955 Chevy bellhousing. For years I thought it was a truck piece until I ran the numbers. The...
This was the car that Bobby wanted to use a HM front clip on, NASCAR said no. So he cut the existing front chassis stub off and made his own,...
I used all stainless steel hardware on my ram horns manifolds. Ran me $36 back in 2015 but will never rust.
Painless Wiring also has a good one. I got one at NAPA that failed me. It started out fine, then took too much pressure to activate it. I have a...
Try Tuff Stuff upholstery cleaner. It works on vinyl, fabric and carpet.
I was just looking at pictures of the Cup cars from the last Winston Cup race at Islip Speedway. Bobby's 12 Coke car was in the pile they were...
My HS had a great auto shop. We worked on anything from lawnmowers to outboard engines (there were 2 test tanks, one rated to 200 HP), to car...
My Ford had a factory installed shield above where the stock muffler was located. It seemed to be able to pass air through it. IIRC, it may have...
Sears with the Craftsman line was the best bang for the buck. My 1st set was the gray box one for under $50 and came with a lot of stuff. I...
I agree. My dad had one break on an OT Chevy wagon around 1977. He never beat on it... well we may have a few times. Around 1975 my brother...
You have something contrary? I didn't think so.
I had heard my dad tell of a "raid" at a local luncheonette up the street from where we lived. My dad drove past as the cops had the local...
This had crossed my mind too. It is possible that something else is out of whack. Only one way to tell... start taking it all apart. It could be...
All I know is what the Hagerty article had in print. You want to challenge them, knock yourself out. It was quite an undertaking from what the...
There's your answer. Aside from the excessive force to move it, it will likely not move the fork enough to release the clutch. Mine needed about...
Nope. This is a Hagerty magazine article. That was $50 million in 1932 dollars.
How is the pedal pressure? Mine I had moved the rod lower on the pedal arm, no good. The car was not driveable. I put it back stock and moved the...
