I know a guy from around here who overtightened his front wheel bearings and had one seize up a couple thousand miles from home. More specifically...
Reorganizing and changing the long-term placement of tools can be a fool's errand. I know it was for me because I did it. Sounded like a really...
This is a piston out of a motor with 180,000 miles on it. Been sitting on my shelf for 10 years. [ATTACH] Not turrible, but pretty dirty. I...
Glad you are on the right track. Good on ya. Even thought the ship has sailed, I'll add that I've done a couple of hone and go jobs. My Dad...
Good on ya Mikko. Great acquisition and tremendous progress straight away. I like the frequent updates, plus the Model A guys around here are an...

My brother used to work at what was originally a nice, big full-service filling station with two repair bays. By the time he was working there it...
Was walking the GNRS this year with my brother and he was transfixed on something and almost walked into this video shot of Bill being...
Well done JJ. Fantastic coverage, super complete. Appreciate the closeup shots of the club plaques and event posters. I noticed the Eagle Field...
Amen. Absolutely was assaulted by those fuggers. Sent some very light items that were 35" long in a 48" box. UPS sez after the fact that the box...
Pretty sure I'd never have a perfect paint job on anything I own, but it does make the point about "paint jail" and all its facets. I'd never...
I have a grubby looking mid sixties car with a very low stance and a loud lopey idle and I've gotten a ton of great comments. Working in the...
Was talking to a guy at the GNRS this year who said he now owns the Offenhauser speed parts brand (unverified) and he talked about how most people...
I've favored YouTube over the other iterations all along. I watched the early episodes of RoadKill on YT before the MotorTrend Channel transition....
Ah hell, Ant knee's jab wudn't much. It's a traditional forum and not a lot of us are app happy. I got a jab the other day about my non...
Hey DutchRod - huge respect from here brother. You are a skilled and driven fabricator. Love what you have done. Based on the link in your sig I...
Fantastic progress so far, keep it going! Love to see all the work. Thanks for posting this up. BTW from that to this with just a little...
Old thread but WTF - saw this ad and thought, damn - that's cheap for a no rust central Californistan 289 2-door 64 Fairlane. I have too many...
I've been told that engines tend to stop in a few crank positions. Visually inspect the ring gear. If it's missing a tooth or two from the prior...
When you see a really well detailed movie or show, it's a treat. When MadMen came out it was so similar to real life ad man life that I'd get so...
Nice careful, thoughtful work; beautiful results with the gear you have. Hub centric is the way to go. Hadn't paid much attention to it until I...
Ah hell I've made much worse errors than this in public. Don't know Olds cars at all, virtually no exposure to them. Growing up in the '70s around...
First time I ever heard of a 394 (that I recall anyway) was last week. My golf buddy telling stories of his brother and his beat up old 63 Olds...
Went to the GNRS Friday and it's complete sensory overload. We started in building 6 with the AMBR contenders to try and get a good handle on the...
Didn't OP say that at least one of the DS used stuck out twice as far as the other(s)? Like one was super short, only stuck out 1/2" the other an...
If you can find a set of 2.50 gears for the original rear end and go back to the tried and true original equipment...a 25.4" tall tire and 2.50...
I've never dealt with any of these fuggers and I wondered what the scam was. Sending earnest money up front is something I've never considered,...
I have a file full of the A coupes I like. Some of them I chop "just to see". The visorless look for me is a winner so my idea file has 32 style...
Funny that a photoshop artist is so good his actual creation raises questions. I guess that shows how freaking good this is, almost too good to be...
