Yep, you had to get out and find the action. Cell phones and text messaging had a big effect. Friday and saturday nights were pretty busy. Go...

Hey, I like that thing. Other than the wheels.
I use a cheapo harbor fright one at work to rattle the rust off of brake rotors before mounting them on the brake lathe.
I wouldn't sand it at all. I'd buff it off with some finer steel wool and give it a wipe of boiled linseed oil once every couple of years. IIRC,...
It's a spring powered motor for an old time phonograph. Before electricity was common you had to wind up the spring to play your records.
Sonora Phonograph motor, spring driven.

Bumpside, dentside, bullnose, bricknose, OBS. All different nicknames for different generations of Ford pickups.
Imagine the torque rolls it could do with a corncob under the hood.
My uncle used to tow bar his 60 Chevy dirt track car 12 miles to the local track back in the early 70s. Worked fine, just as long as the car...
That's really not as big a deal as it seems. There is one floating around out there with the starter inside the bellhousing, in other words, pull...
Sensors. No problem. The suck is the 20 different modules that all have to be friends in order for the car to do car things. And using...

EGR valve spacer missing?
It can be saved. Dump the Yamaha keyboard stand spoiler and put a new front clip on it.
Fix It Again Tony
A high quality paint job won't have; fish eyes, dry spray, orange peel, sanding scratches, etc, etc. How high of quality you can afford is...
Regarding the balancing. It's crap. Those lead free stick on weights suck, they are way bulky for the weight you get out of them. I would have...
Late models don't use live axles. OP's axle has Wildwood wide five hubs on aluminum axle tubes. Mine. Retired late model rear. Had 12 spline...
I'd like to see the rest of that. Looks like a home made log jammer truck. Those guys got real creative with junk they had laying around to get...
I'd have put a 300 six in the thing.
Other than the horrific front shackles, I kinda like it.
I paid $200 for two them a few years back. Spools and 12 spline axles in both of them, but they were complete. The one with aluminum side bells...
