Food for thought ... the 3.7 Ford V6, base engine in Mustangs 10 years ago are 305 HP. They do this n/a, no turbo. I believe it is a six speed...
For a rear axle, you might want to look into the 8.8 that came in Ford Explorers from 1996 into the early 2000s. Most all of them come with a 3.55...
My 2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac (small pickup) came with a rubber floor mat. It is a pebbled finish and has floor mats that sit on top of it. I...
I hope I don't get anyone upset posting these .... Newer bikes made to look "old". I refurbished these bikes recently, inspired by a LOT of what...

Johnny99, I have a friendly warning for you .... do NOT store that Sizzler with your regular redline Hot Wheels. The battery will outgas and...
Ford made three levels of six cylinder motors in the 60/70s. The 170 and 200 likely have a lot of interchangeablilty. There is a 240 that possibly...

I do some woodworking. There are systems made for woodworking shops, but I really don't know much about them. There are some big buckets you can...

Your car gets both thumbs up from me, especially the BBF. Nice build .
That Firestone bike is likely 1970s - 1980s. The logo on the seat makes me skew toward later years, looks fairly modern. I worked for Goodyear in...
Loving all the old seats shown here. A lot more soul than some of the new stuff. 30 years ago, we were at a party at my sister's house and she...
