Aerostars use a 3 link rear suspension. The upper had 3 mounting points in an "L" shape. Some Alfa Romeos also used it. [img] Your traverse...
Interesting re-build. But half of the posts in here are like that car was. A bunch of junk stuck together. This 'rat-rod' fad must be good...
It reminded me of Rommels Rod, the old model.
Around here many yards have old junkers in the backyard. And they're all nondescript crap with no value, even if they were fixed up. And $100 a...

Nice and clean. When I was a kid there was a 50 Ford in the neighborhood that must have been a survivor from the '50s race scene. Gray paint,...
Years ago I worked as a city garbageman for 4 summers. The city used Ford 1 tons that were converted to right hand drive by city mechanics with a...
Looks like? No doubt. Isn't that the point of a restoration? Someone told you to make them look like they were in the old pictures.

Neat. And Sweet.
If you pick the size of the bore and the pedal ratio properly then manual brakes can be very good. Using a power brake pedal ratio with manual...
So what's the full story on this rig?
That Oct. Street Rodder article is just in time, and very interesting.
Ouch. It's amazing how some 'shops' fix cars. I've seen wood screwed into a door jam and covered with putty.
Maybe the oil pump doesn't have the volume needed. Or if the filter is connected backwards it won't flow well, or not at all. They have check...
I just put a headliner in a car. The old one was 2 pieces of cardboard with foam in between, which had broken down and was falling apart. I...
What's the noise like on a street car? Do they clunk?
As a customer, I saw an old guy ask for a chevy starter. The parts guy asks "for what car?". Mister know-it-all says "they're all the same". So...
Well, you unplug it first. But I've forgotten a few times. It's just a strong tingle. After a few times you don't forget anymore. Or you begin...
Anything that puts out DC will work. A big battery for example. I've fooled around with this and was worried about burning out an expensive...
I like it better than alternatives. It's faster and better. But sand ends up everywhere on the driveway. I sweep up for longer than the blasting...
Dremel table saw. Vibrates like hell but won't cut even plastic. Finally put it out by the garbage cans. Cheap double flare tools. Home...
When you set the timing did you disconnect the vacuum? If not, when you put it in gear vacuum drops, timing retards, and a stall.
Really? They always work in the movies. They must have Movie Magnets.
My 79 mustang has a serpentine and reverse rotation. If your engine came with reverse and someone put on belts, now the water pump is turning...
Good for drilling bank vaults as well. Make your money back in no time.
It was the 'special edition' with added scenes and changed dates. And they also cut Milners line. When she says "my parents hate me" he answers...
The fan blades can't be flipped. The plastic fits onto the shaft one way. The Taurus have 2 fans. The 3.0 L is smaller than the 3.8. Sable is...
Any part I need. If I don't need it the yard has ten. If I do, nothing.
The force goes in a circle, not sideways. It may vibrate, but 600 horsepower cars slide sideways in the dirt with those brackets.
Separate names with a comma.
