Took care of a little termite damage [img] [img] Oh, and that's just a dark spot in the wood next to the trim. Man, I wish I'd noticed that...
Awesome! We have a Motion Industries here, but I thought they just had bearings! When I was looking for old style wheel bearings, all the parts...
Heh. That WAS the Sears service center. That's not a bad idea. I know it's fixable, I just wasn't sure where to go after the people who should...
I had the car jacked up last week, turned around to get my jack stands, and heard a series of rapid pops. Turned back around to find my jack...
This one bears repeating. Even if they're not the shotgun toting type, nobody likes snoopers in their home/office/backyard. You're probably not...
Does this count? My truck's tailgate is the closest thing to a work bench I've ever had. [img]
The Phoenix! Holy hell, I haven't been there in forever. I'm going to have to pass. I've got friends in from out of town tonight. I've never...
Anyone going to the Atomic Frolic at the Highdive on Sunday? I just got asked to take pictures throughout the event, so if you see a gangly...
Tracked down a bad ground in my turn signals and another in my horn in the '51. Took a scary ride around the block, pulled into the garage, and...
I'll be at the bloomington show. Finally got both of my projects on the road, too, so barring MAJOR disaster I'll be there in one of them.
I'd been wondering how you could make that work. Don't forget, the rotary dial already works. I think it'd be cooler to set it up so you had to...
You could also hook up an old style telephone handset to work with your cell phone. Pokia/Hulger is one of the slicker companies, but there are...
No real long term residents, but my truck always has oddball transients. The coolest was a little lizard that hitched a ride in the engine bay...
Went out to Catlin and hauled a bunch of my grandpa's furniture back to Champaign. The coolest is probably the dresser he built in 1932 when he...
I started looking into this myself a couple months back. I never got around to it (somebody stole my replacement rear end), but this article over...
I used to work in the diner they're sitting in on the back cover of T.W.O. That's the only REO Speedwagon album I own and the only reason I own...
Chevs of the 40s and Egge both have them. Looks like $75-100 is the going rate.
For real. I had about a hundred tabs open so I wouldn't miss any of the links.
You really want to know? If it's possible to be an expert on it, somebody's getting worked up about it.
Got one in a '64 C-10 with bench seats, matter of fact. You'll have plenty of space at the floor. The only hitch is that the S-10 shifter bends...
Yeah, that was the first thing I did. I tried every dowel, drift, and punch I could find, but nothing fit quite snugly enough. I even tried using...
Destroyed my old pilot bushing trying to pull it out, found replacement pilot bushing by miraculous quirk of fate, found out the lip of my oil pan...
Damn! Brain farted again! I'm just gonna step away from the keyboard for a while. At least I got the bench seat part right.
Sure! I figure I'll have to haul that damn Buick out first. It'll look good parked in front of my house. Good to hear your house didn't get...
Exactly. I knew I was pushing my luck anyway. There's an apartment complex right behind the house and an alleyway running between the two. It was...
Not to hijack, but I've been wondering if there are any HAMBers out in the western part of the state. My inlaws live in the Saluda/Hendersonville...
We had some "strong wind" a few nights ago. On the way home from work last night, I decided to check on the garage and see if there was any new...
I think he meant the tailshaft/gearshift. Camaro shifters are angled to the side instead of sitting straight up and down. You can bolt on an S10...
Dur. I read 66 Chevy truck in your first post and totally spaced on the fact that you're installing in a '53 (car I assume). That how-to list...
I'm with squirrel on this one, assuming the 230 is cheap. Once you get the 230 in there, the 250 is a direct bolt in. Exactly the same size. Might...
