So, I'm wanting to refurbish an ebay heater that I found for my 46 Chevy pu. The tubes are somewhat deformed and one of them is cracked. My...
And lucky that they're about 40% steel and only 60%rusto_O
Cool! For sale or just an illustration?
Does anyone have any Standard Oil calenders from the fifties? My dad operated one when I was a tyke, and when my mom passed away I found this one...
Rod, maybe you're right. It looks like it had vacuum ports, but what throws me is the solid base (no temp bulb or oil port). The passage it...
I have a '78 250 six in my 46 Chevy pu, and it has what looks like a broken thermal vacuum switch in the block behind the distributor and ahead of...
I was going to start a build thread on my truck, but I suffer from "squirrel syndrome" (the rodent, not the HAMBer) meaning I get distracted...
CornCob, now you've got me confuzzed. Like Lloyd I had had a hard time finding plain steelies, but a fine gentleman here on the HAMB fixed me up...
A hard lesson for me to learn was "don't let Perfect become the enemy of Good". Otherwise nothing ever gets done.
I am guilty of the opposite- a while back I saw a cool (OT) SS Chevelle turn down a road near to my house. I followed him home, parked close to...
That looks like a Dodge van grill surround with Chevy pickup headlight bezels!:p
Has anyone here used Dolphin/Shark instrument clusters or gauges as sold on Ebay? They look OK, but I figure based on price they may be Chinese...
Umm, are you dyslexic? I lift my LEFT leg to clutch, but maybe I'm just weird...:) I lift my right leg to pee on fire hydrants, though
DingDang it, I NEED that car! #1, I'm a Chevy guy! #2, I've kicked myself repeatedly for ever parting with my '36 Chevy pickup! #3, I've got...
This is wonderful! When I grow up I hope I can build something like this! I wouldn't have bagged it, but it's still beautiful; a perfect melding...
Any info on this?
Shiite! Can't say I "like" this; makes me want to hug my knees and tell my toes how much I love them!
Not sure I'm qualified to comment on this, but my 2cents worth is just clean it, maintain it and drive it. Lots of other cars out there that...
I once painted a 396 Chevy engine white including the cast iron intake. When I had a fuel leak at the carb, I had pink stains all over it. Bad idea...
I hope the dirtbags didn't damage it or scratch it up!
I think the Neway cutters are designed to be turned slowly, by hand, I have a few in smaller sizes that I use on old Brit bikes, and they came...
Thanks! That makes sense. I guess I was thinking of circumference calculated by radius to the ground. Sometimes I overthink things, sometimes I...
So, I got a question, too. When they list the revolutions per mile, is that based on the diameter of the tire unloaded, or do they figure it based...
S**t! You mean you post stupid stuff? I've been looking up to you as a guru, and take everything you say as Gospel!:eek:
Hah! I bet you guys thought I was gonna say "oil". Nah, I'm smarter than that. What I do wanna know is what does the collective knowledge of the...
I watched a TCM movie just yesterday, "It Started With a Kiss", where Glenn Ford won a Lincoln Futura in a raffle. Show was from '59 I think. How...
We always drove the car before bringing it in to the balance bay, one to warm up the tires, and two, to make sure the customer's complaint was...
I used a strobe light setup a lot when I worked in a shop in the 70's and 80's. It took a little time to set up but you could get a tire perfectly...
Try rolling the window down when you smoke cheap stogies:D I wouldn't use steel wool, it might leave very fine scratches that you won't see till...
