Had a fellow drop by the shop that said he had put a completely gone through 235 in his 53 and it would almost run but back fired from both the...
Well, actually 65 since I didn't start working on cars till I was 13. For all those years every time I drilled through cloth, carpet, padding,...
Great (or maybe feeble) minds run in the same direction sometimes. We mounted a Jag XJ6 independent rear in a 55 and used the entire cradle. Along...
My under 40 nephew and the crew he has in the shop are a constant source of amazement to me. While I'm at my bench breathing in fumes from soaking...
A WHITE Farmall, didn't know such a thing exists. Will have to get a picture of my friends Oliver with all the faring and fender skirts. Won...

Mike, You won me over, I'm a real nut on panel gaps---a paint stirring stick wide, no more and no less. Excellent. If you can swing it the...
