Wildfires and hurricanes have a lot in common. I work in the Panama City area that was hit by a hurricane a couple weeks ago. The loss of life...
We had a concrete bridge destroyed in Atlanta a year or two ago by a big fire. Just cause it doesn't burn doesn't mean there will be no damage.
I don't think it would work since the foam is usually used to limit oxygen flow to a fire or isolate the fuel source. If the temp of the fire...
It is a visual aid for the driver to see where his/her fender is when parallel parking downtown. I guess that if you were a short driver and had...
I'm visiting dad in the nursing home today. When I see all the older women in their 80's+, I could only imagine what their youthful beauty was...
They may have only cost you $12 now, but wait until you have to get the $25K camper that you are now going to feel obligated to buy!
I've been looking for the door window frames on a 40 Buick Roadmaster convertible for two years. Just bought another car that has a rust problem...

As a defense against rear enders, I keep a long neck hitch on my car at all times. The pleasure of that defense can into play one day when...
We've made laws for years to the point that even crime is against the law. Laws seem to only affect a person after the crime is committed. Even...
Derby Line? Brother Greg?
That's how I've seen it done in the past! A more thorough freshening is when the engine is cleaned of grease then painted! Looked at a...
What? No pictures on this thread - I'm gone!
@1947vert Any new progress?
I agree here. That car looks dam solid to me. If I wanted that car I wouldn't even pay attention to the odometer. When advertising on eBay...
Doesn't that make it a Chevy flathead though?
That's cause you're still young (what 26?). My dad at 85 says he already owns his last car. I loved the infinite immortality that I used to feel...
I suspect you have a point, but I also hang out in the AACA forum as I am doing an authentic restoration of a prewar convertible. I ear negative...

This guy wants $20k, but haven't a clue about condition or engine with only one pic:...
I have a car that I don't want to modify, but fully understand the need for improved brake and turn signal lights. Has anyone experimented with...

[ATTACH] Got this YOM tag on my 41 Ford PU. Georgia requires that I keep a current tag with the car which is cross referenced to this tag. I...
My dad taught me to put a thin coat of oil on the part where the gasket is used, then press the oiled part onto the gasket material. From there...
