I know the top of it is a slide hammer or bearing tool, a Proto 4056, but I can't find anything like the bottom of it. Solid metal and about a...
Found this at the flea market the other day. Reminds me of a flathead valve spring compressor but it's much smaller and more delicate. I didn't...
Two door sedan. No grille, no motor (I do have the intake and carb somewhere), no front bumper, missing one front fender. Other fender and hood...
Years ago I had a nice HAMB-friendly Pontiac as my first car and more or less ruined it, I still have what's left of it but it's beyond fixing....
Anybody have some good pictures of the rear edges of the top of a real Ford '32 shell? Are they just a smooth inner lip (under the hood edge)?...
The radiator I'm using has an oil cooler in it; like a trans cooler, it's in the tank on one end. Because this has plastic end tanks, the fittings...
I looked at a ton of stuff in old threads and web searches, and found only one like this that sold on eBay but the seller didn't seem to know any...
Went to a storage unit auction the other day, they pieced it out as the vanished renter was like 12 grand in debt and this would raise the most...
Leaving the Prison City Ramblers car show in Auburn today I wound up behind a nice white '28 A Tudor that was more street rod in touches and even...
Maybe have better luck with an ID for these shift knobs, two of them were in a can in a washtub full of parts I bought. Looks like they're for a...
Metal over wood frame, suicide hinged, tops about 21" long, height about 21" also. Hinges seem to allow for easy removal. Inside handle, but no...
'37 Terraplane tudor. No motor, missing grille/radiator support and one fender. Has a 1955 Vermont plate on the back. Floors rough. Frame...
Regular Bendix drum brakes on the rear of an O/T vehicle. Parking brake cable was shot (I had to cut it because it stuck on some months back) and...
I'm not sure when I'll get a chance for photos, but I was looking through a box I got at an auction for a whopping dollar and I found this thing...
These were too cheap to pass up. But they were cheap because no one knew what they fit. They're 28" where measured across, just shy of 11"...
I picked up some assorted vintage parts at an auction over the weekend. There were parts for Model T, Model A, Chevy, and even Franklin scattered...
A couple months ago I picked up a '64 Riviera less motor or trans for stupid cheap. Today I found a '61 Electra I can get the motor and trans out...
If I want to say, re-use a late model GM auxillary trans cooler from a pickup or van, can I take off the quick-connect fittings and just use...

Can someone pretend I'm an idiot - that's not hard, I'm sure - and explain how to use this? Do I even want to mess around with it? I bught it...
Number on the Pitman arm looks like M T 7830838, which gave me zero in a google search. I can snap a couple more shots if it helps. Just...

I bought a little trailer last fall with what apparently is a '36 Standard axle on it - it came with two artillery wheels that are 5 on 4 1/4...

15 inch and looks like 4 1/2"X5, probably not worth much. Reads SIMS 1807-B on the back of one spoke. [ATTACH]
A buddy has a line on a '52 Super. A 4-door, so not that desirable, but it's supposed to be really nice - good, clean interior, decent paint,...
Somebody wants to know if the Ford manual OD trans I have will work in a T-bird. It's an OD I bought loose marked '57 Ford. Anybody know if...
