Working on Classic cars and modern cars is certainly two different businesses. I think there is actually a surprising number of hot rod and...
lol. Whoops
Not from left to right. That’s what I do.
[ATTACH] I spotted this beauty in Clearwater, Florida today.

Speaking of stuff that doesn’t work, don’t bother buying a can of “non clorinated” brake cleaner. It’s about 7 bucks, and does almost nothing. A...
I have a set of plastic ramps I have been using for about 15 years. Does the plastic deteriorate over time? Or are they still safe today?
That wasn’t the media lying. I recently read Steve Scott’s account of where he bought the aluminum tubing, how he learned to weld it, etc....
When the weather is nice, there is nothing more fun than driving a roadster. Yesterday I went to a car show. On the way home it felt so good I...
[ATTACH] In my high school days, the hot setup was to paint your differential cover Chevy orange. My T Bucket carries on that tradition. Lol
In direct sunlight I can see all the scratches. In more “normal” lighting the scratches are almost invisible. [ATTACH]
Outside of St. Johns, MI on Dewitt Rd. For years there was a 1/4 mile marked off there. For the record, my parents Chevy Impala could run a...
[ATTACH] My daily driver has a set of slotted aluminum mags on it. They are in a little nicer shape than yours, but not much. I periodically clean...
What a cool story. People like you set the bar for patience and attention to detail. Well done.
What does he have for brake calipers and pads? The front of my 47 Chevy has GM metric brake calipers. When I replaced my “parts store” brake pads...
When I worked in the Chevy dealership, I learned to hate those things. People were always bringing their cars for service, and the adapter key...
RIP man. He had great taste in cars.
Do the testing that KenC said. I almost guarantee adding a relay as he suggested will fix it. Simply running a larger wire to the S terminal could...
I think one of the best ones out there is The Daytona Speedway Turkey rod run. There is still a lot of vintage parts there, sometimes at...
I’m actually a little amazed at the numbers coming in. I’m one of only 17% of HAMBers who have never run a drag strip. Maybe I need to do...
I knew I’d forget something.
Man that is awesome. I’ll give you $10 for that car if you still have it.
Oh yes. It never ended.
I have run on about fifteen different dirt and asphalt oval tracks, never been on a drag strip.
Yep, I found the same thing. Rain-X works fantastic on my modern cars, but it does very little on my 47 Chevy or my T-Bucket.
I’m sure nothing has changed. :D:rolleyes: I wish I would have had that manual laying around……
I had never even heard of or thought of ladder safety training. I just watched a 20 minute video and learned a couple of important tidbits....
I know many of you have done this, but this was my first windshield installation. I had a hard time finding info on this particular car, so I...
Oh man. I’m sorry to hear that. Get well soon Roothawg.
