Do you still sell 32 frame drawings?
I bought some patch panels for my Model A from them. Don't remember it taking as long as I was told it could to get them. They are still in the...
3D Printing has come a long way already, and will continue to improve. The cheap ones for hobby use do put out cheap parts. I have one, and use it...
They are great at work. When someone forgets to clean it out, I'm not out much $$$

It ain't safe, but here's what I would do... I'd find a hole in the workbench to stick the one end in, chuck the other end in a drill. Wrap some...

Yea, I guess "better" really is subjective.
Just one question. Why are people so intent on using an old pickup suspension under a hot rod? If you say it's because NASCAR uses them,...
