I changed ring and pinion gear for a Ford 9 inch in a hotel room once.
Both of my HAMB friendly cars have Turbo 350’s. They both have completely unknown history and mileage. And they both work great, and get driven...
The “Army Air Corps” later became known as the Air Force.
This is the first I’ve ever heard of using diesel for antifreeze. That kind of makes me want to pull into a busy gas station, open the hood, and...
Congrats man. I have a similar garage upgrade in progress. I'm upgrading from my old one car garage, to a 22 by 24 foot shop, with 16 foot...
When using alcohol, it was common practice to test it, then write the results and the date somewhere under the hood. In the ‘80s and ‘90s some...
Dang it. Gone too soon.
Yep. I’ve done that many times.
That was a very common thing to do when I worked at a Chevy dealership in the 1990’s.
I have one of these, and I use it constantly. Well worth it.
That is how I built mine. I have 17,000 miles on it, and it drives great. I can run it at 75 MPH down the freeway, comfortably.
Interesting. If I’m looking at it correctly all of the weight of the column is sitting on the four studs? Would those studs not have a tendency to...

Neat. That looks like a pretty good deal for someone.
Awesome story and car. I’m sure you will do well with it.
Great video. Tons of interesting and historic hot rods and customs there. Thanks for sharing
What a cool video. And very high quality for that time frame.
Merry Christmas to all. [ATTACH]
Does an oil change and a new thermostat count? I’m lucky enough to drive my hot rods year ‘round as daily drivers.
Not much going on in the garage lately, but I’m lucky enough to have a new workshop under construction. It’s going to be a great new year.[ATTACH]
I love all the solutions offered up here. This kind of stuff is real hot rodding, in my book.
I built my T Bucket frame and suspension parts with an AC stick welder and 6013 rod. 17,000 miles so far with zero problems. [ATTACH]
For what it’s worth, GM no longer sells first generation small block Chevys. They quit building them about two years ago. The closes thing they...
I had to watch that in drivers Ed in the 1980’s.
I have noticed that the Readers Digest, Sports Illustrated, and Time magazines do not reprint magazines from 50-60 years ago. I’m not sure why Hot...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] I was there Thursday and Friday. The place was packed, like always. I bought a new four post...
I don’t know much about the history of my 47 Chevy. I think it was fixed up and painted in the 1990’s, based on the wheels that were on it, which...
This Saturday I am going to the last ever race at Eastbay Raceway. A dirt track near Tampa.
