If you're looking to maintain the viscosity you like, Zahn cups are not that expensive and if you ever need to touch up a metallic paint they make...
If the motor has never been apart, the original timing gears were plastic coated and the plastic comes off and clogs the oil pickup screen.
I gotta disagree. It's not the tools that make a quality car or part, it's the craftsman using them. Don't think so? Did you know the bodies of...
After reading this thread I guess I should be concerned that I ran my '68 with it's new-in-'03 tires up to about a hundred on the freeway this...
I guess that's why I spend less and less time at car shows these days in all honesty. The people who quoted my post earlier got a little bent out...
For anyone that says Deuce highboys are belly button cars, my question is, why are 99% of them wrong then? Look at McMullen's '32 and Barry...
Love Rodders Journal and ordered 4 issues I didn't have for a whopping $18 shipped last week. As for the whole escaping California thing, I did in...
I bought my car, a one-owner '68 from it's original owner. I found out from her grandson that she wanted the car restored back to original, so I...
Laugh if you want, but I work for an aircraft company and they beg employees to take free, slightly out-of date but still fine Imron. Primary...
Vacuum leak vote here as well. Look everywhere and like was reported before, don't spray flammable liquid on your engine. Best case is you have a...
I used a 2006 Ford Focus Master cylinder because the outlet points straight down and a Toyota (not sure what, but it came from Rock Auto). Both...
Compared to WHAT? Any one of the current pony cars will eat pretty much any of the '60's legends alive both on the street and on the strip. My...
I think modern cars are miracles of engineering, I'm just not willing to go broke to own one. Recently I watched a guy with a new Challenger run...
This may be the smartest thing I've ever read on the internet. As the father of an 18 year old son, I preach this constantly. He got his first...
I agree with today's cars being overpriced by a ton, but I also agree that there's a some real bargains to be had in buying used late models. My...
Having come from Northern Cal, on the coast, last week's rain (for what a few days?) wasn't too worrisome. When I was younger, I saw a bridge...
Rain? I live in Southern Oregon, what's this "rain" you speak of?, lol
Thanks, I grew up in Rio Dell, Ca. It's so hard to believe that town went from such a neat place to grow up to the shit hole it is today. There...
Lol, no but here's a funny (I thought so anyway) story: my son got his first speeding ticket about a year ago, doing 72 in a 55 mph construction...
Nice to see so many Oregonians on here. I'm in Rogue River myself. I'm not a native, but I got here as fast as I could.
Just a thought but dragsters sometimes have inflatable bladders placed under the chassis during transport to eliminate trucking damage. Awesome...
I'm not a T-bucket kind of guy, but I can see their appeal for an around-town kinda thing. Look at choppers, they look practical or safe to...
My hero? My Dad, Red Elliott, Rio Dell California. Anyone who knows him can tell you why.
I grew up in Northern California in a town of about 3000 people. Since highway 101 passed through town, there were 5 gas stations. Each gas...
Yep. Here's an example of how dumb I can be: Last year I attended a swap meet and found a decent dragster chassis. It had been a T/F car back in...
Oddly enough after 30 years together my wife doesn’t get car guys. My son works nights and often comes home and works out in the garage until the...
Around ‘78, my dad and I just finished rebuilding his ‘31 coupe. It got a 283, new chassis, and repaint. I wanted my own Model A and we had lots...
Although cars would be on my list, I have higher goals in mind, you know something that helps lots of people. First and foremost, I would buy...
A little advice to anyone looking at tap and die sets: always make sure you are buying only tools made of high speed steel. They should either say...
We get all these old reruns and I taped all the episodes of "Emergency" until the AG coupe showed up. You can barely see any of it and even then...
