Too expensive to be just a hobby, it is cheap therapy for me. Keeps me sane and married.
My father had a VW with a diesel motor. It developed a leak in one injector, repaired under warrantee. Dad kept the car immaculate, including the...
Hope to make a couple of fall swap meets this year, have not gone since last spring due to back issues. Retirement gives more time, health takes...
Done more than my share of stupid things in my life, but nothing as dumb as marrying my 2nd wife.
The last time I took my better half to a swap meet her comment was she had never seen so much crap she had no desire to buy.
Where are you? I have a good 216 starter you can have for shipping, nut it is in central CT and they are heavy buggers. Always a good idea to put...
While the AD group here is basically inactive lately there is a lot of good information there for you.

Better half is big on Geneology, and I play with cars. She has made 10 trips to Poland, has recieved Polish citizenship, and started a Polish...
Added to my calender.
you have very diverse (and good) taste.
Gene is so right about this, I has fine for all the corona virus shutdown, caught it in Jan, Then had my back go out to the point I could barely...
55 265 would not have side motor mounts, only front mounts.
When you finish the mancave put a mini split in it, 20 x 20 would not need that much and would give you a place to cool off or warm up.
Paid 40 for a 1999 350, attached my 100 (in 1970) 64 m22, and 100 explorer rear. I have more in the driveshaft than the rest of the drivetrain.

My inlaws inherited his aunts house when she passed at 103. She had spent the last 10 years in an assisteed living facility,, prior to that she...
Obviously not married to my wife.
if you go this route you will also need new valve covers or adaptors to run your covers. Not a big deal but one more thing to consider.
as a teenager, yes many decades ago, we had a house cat and three dogs. One night we were watching tv and a mole ran across the floor not more...
My amateur way when doing repairs on my truck where I could not get a decent panel was to look for a metal piece that had the bend or radius that...
brought back memories of my Dad, as I am sure many can relate.
I suspect the value increase if any would be from the documenting of the quality of the parts used, the work done, and the same would be true for...
I spent 3 or more hours a day in the garage working on my truck, till last fall. I took a couple of months to work on a place my brother...
110 machines are fine for welding sheetmetal, though 220 are a much better investment. Flux wire sucks for sheet metal, shielding gas is much...
A kit that is marked with what the wire goes to makes it doable for most anyone. It will take much longer than you would think but as stated...
