I'm not going that way, but you do realize that once you smuggle that paint into California, it's now known to cause cancer.
Hot rod it. Start running it with progressively bigger batteries. Getting more rpm's out of it until it throws a rod through the block. Hamb style.
Just for grins, change out the condenser. It's the only ignition part, that I can think of, that goes south when it gets warm.
In the early days of hot rodding, splitting the wishbone was a necessity. When you changed out the engine and trans with something different, the...

My wife believes that I am her trophy husband. Not giving that up.
One drawback to not having the crank threaded is the camshaft gear is not locked in place as it would be if you had the bolt to tighten the...
Got a 1930 Cadillac manual trans here that has a PTO driven compressor pump. From the factory. So, if you have a trans with pto capability, it...
Who'd a thought that we would find, yet another, use for WD 40.
I've thought about this for some time. I assume you a not using running boards. But to cover and protect the brake rods and to give the bottom of...
Had an old pickup that was rusted out like none other than I've ever seen. Ran good. Came across a guy selling one with no engine, trans or...

My remote horn is my middle finger. Don't use it too often but when I do you can be sure that the other guy hears it.
