Well I found some bent linkages, some backwards linkages, and some missing ones. I've got things sorted out as best I can until I get the missing...
That's really great, congrats! You certainly earned it.
Now for the bad news... I've got the crossmember refitted, starter back in place, and set about figuring out the linkages. Thankfully I have the...
Good news, the car is back on the lift! The wife is out of town for a week, and the goal is to get it putting around the driveway for a mother's...
That sure looks nice. Any thoughts on a radiant barrier for the starter? It might be a little happier on those summer days with a hot restart at...
I'm planning on running Portawalls on a couple of my cars as well. I've got some new ones sitting around waiting. Blackwall tires are just so...
And you come here to say that without pics? Come on now...
So you're thinking it was varnish or something on the potentiometer, rather than oxidation? I've never tried fixing a glitchy sender with solvents...
I've seen them get tripped accidentally (I mean, without an accident, to be clear). On a late 90s Explorer, a passenger with large feet bumped...
For daily driving of uninteresting vehicles, I like silver and gold since they're great at hiding dirt and I rarely wash anything. For classics,...
Thanks for providing the continued updates, Phil. I always read every one, and have enjoyed learning a bit from your journey.
Many have questioned their reputation, but this is really the cherry on top! Kudos to Summit for dropping them like a dirty sock. I don't think...
Well the story goes, the engine was rebuilt in poor fashion. Then the owner took it to a well reputed performance shop to get it redone. They...
Funny you mention that, in all my searching I ended up reading about EDM lifters where they burn the hole in the bottom for oil feeding, then give...
Thank you all for your valuable input, it's a huge relief! I wanted to believe the cam was fine since it didn't feel rough on my fingers, in the...

Hey all, I couldn't think of a group with more guys experienced in building old flat-tappet Olds V8s, so I'm pitching this here. I hope that's OK....
Beautiful car! I've got a '58 Star Chief more-door hardtop sitting on my back burner. I hope to work on it soon. I love the idea of the mildly...
Sounds like a fun project. Pics of parts are nice, now show us the car! :D
***Tangent Warning*** If this is the place, you'll be glad to know it's littered with my projects now! :D [IMG] [IMG] What an unreal...
Get outta here! Was it 3.7 acres with a brick/river-rock house, detached shop, and a little barn? Right across a gravel road from the river?
Following. I love these cars, and am happy to see someone working on a more-door. I hope you do end up daily driving it, and can just have fun...
Finishing up bed wood replacement in the old stepside. And no, it's not rough-sawn. That's curly white oak grain. [IMG]
Did you read carefully and notice where I said it pierced through several layers? If it pierced through the layers, why would the layers get...
Carport purchases keep getting delayed by other things (orthodontia, RVs, trips, etc). So, upon a friend's suggestion I decided to rearrange the...
Just found your thread, and am loving it. I hope to do something like this with my son someday. It looks like it's been a while...any updates?...
Wow, there's a lot of exhaust pipe folded up in there!
For some reason, I'm really looking forward to rolling up for some curbside pickup with two big dogs in the back, and popping the "hood" open for...
She's still sitting, waiting on springs and floors. I've got a bead roller on order! I'm looking forward to that process, actually. I think...
Ah man, I liked the twinkle. The grille was a big statement piece, and had such a great shine to it after all that polishing you did. I may not...
