Thank you.
Here is a picture of my avatar '38 Chevy Master Coupe battery located in the passenger side wheel well. The mounting bracked is attached to the...
Getting old is not for sissies. I can vouch for that.
Why not blame them. We don't have Nixon to blame any more.
Contact Ron Hargrave in Webster City. He restores/rejuvinates old plates. He may be able to help you out. I live in Omaha and have YOM plates...
Two good things about them - they don't tell and they don't swell. :)
It's part of their tree conservation program. Save a Tree, Eat a Beaver.
Do you have the emblem that attaches to the inside of the window frame? If so, can you post a picture of it? I don't have one and I'm having a...
I think Ford should put some hair around the horse collar and called it Ethel.
Looks like a Gattling gun on the first and last pictures.
I didn't pay attention to the original posted date.
It was his idea not mine.
I went to Harbor Freight and bought a set of punches (I can't think of what they are called) and stamped the VIN in the frame. I had done exactly...
My hat is off to you for paying off your student loans and not expecting us taxpayers to pay.
I put a couple of Stewart Warner guages in my '56. They fit perfectly. I installed one in place of the idiot light for my oil pressure. Can't...
I coat mine with some clear coat paint. It really makes the plate "pop".
I used to live in Webster City 60 years ago. Ron and his brother had a gas station. Great guys.
Did you run the engine after you put it the diesel? Sixty years ago we would run the engine a few minutes till the engine started to warm up to...
You are right. They are not flex fuel trucks. That is why you need to tune them to accomodate E-85. I'm not positive but I think the ethanol...
I burn E-85 and I lose 30% of my gas mileage. My Sonoma dropped from 17 to 12 mpg and my Lightning dropped from 12-15 mpg to 8/9 mpg. You need...
For small spots I use Gunk engine degreaser. It would cost too much to do the entire garage floor but for small spots it works great.
Damn that looks great!
I give mine a shot of clear coat when I was done with the numbers.
Have you thought about getting a cam from the '57 supercharged 312? I thik it holds the valves open longer to get more air/fuel into the...
The fish was farm raised so they didn't taste like crap. Joe Tess Place is still open on south 24th street where it has been for decades.
I had one just like this one in 1962 in my '56 Victoria. It is spring loaded for the 1-2 shift that makes it a straight line pattern vs the...
You should use a BMF hammer. :)
Why don't you remount your tires and put the white walls on the inside?
My dad had one when he worked in a Chevy garage with his two brothers. He said the rod journals were too small and didn't last. He would replace...
We did the same thing back in the 50's and 60's. It was a cheap tube grill.
