A few years ago I had to replenish my supply. I used AA-MFG.com. They had better prices that the others I had used. There are many suppliers out...

I've built and sold 3 of them. Now that I'm old, I like the large back window of the last version more. LOL.
Impact wrench without a doubt. If it was loctited, you will have a terrible time with a breakover. I have been down that road before on a newer...
Brookville makes them for their version of the cab.
Yes but not well. Most pumps make pressure but have limited suction. The farther away from the tank the worse this gets. Depending on what has...

A few years ago, the State farm agent offered me a Hagerty.I explained to her that you can't daily drive on their policy. End of discussion. :)
In the past, I was one of the 1st to get mine. Not so this time. :)
Put bend of around 30 to 45 degrees in the system and the drone will be gone. I had late model mustang gt mufflers before the axle on my 32. I...

What are you going to use for an ecu?
Back in the late 80's I had a friend with a 327 with the same circumstance. He brought the pistons to me and I clamped them in a piston vise I...
When I was young I was around and owned 57's. I didn't realize I got lucky without having one fail. :)
Makes no sense. I wonder if someone had filled them in trying to clean them? How could it oil the rockers? Were the shafts burnt on the bottom...
