I haven't been on HAMB in quite some time. The past (almost) 2 years has been quite the trip. The triplets were born 3 months early, and really...
They put that 010 block in everything, or at least I found them in everything. Back when I was younger and much more poor, we use to wander junk...
Man that cracks me up. I had a conversation a few years back (actually I was talking to a wall), with a Fast and the Furious guy. I was looking...
This thread popped up again to the top of the forum, and I remember posting this a while back. I really did enjoy reading this thread and I truly...
The Amazon Prime membership is a good deal, especially if you buy things from Amazon on a regular basis. When I was looking for a winch for my...
I haven't researched this, but it would be nice if someone was to post results of a field test on gas. 3 types of vehicles, driving the same route...
I too have seen them swell up but not explode. The fact that the battery swelled is enough proof to me that it could happen. I was just lucky...
That is a cool video. And really what hot rods, cars, and fixing things is all about. We all started with lawn mowers and stuff like that. I got...
Spend the extra money on the 1 peice oil pan gasket. Like this one. Best thing I ever bought. They aren't prone to leaking in the corners, like...
Mixing and matching can be done, it's not that tough. The hard part is the 7 trips to the parts store to get the right size belts. Speedway Motors...
My Grandfather who passed last Christmas, my Grandmother who was killed 2 years ago (although she would only occasionally drink a single wine...
I would say no. That one picture with the blue floor jack in the background is scary close. A hard left hand turn with a bump on the RF and I bet...
You need DOM. Structural tubing is far different than pipe. If you decide to use pipe on the front end.......it will literally be a "suicide"...
Is it a squeal? Because I can hear my 4 barrels over open headers and it made a sound similar to that. But who knows how accurate the sound on...
Wow nice save. Love the jig for the radius rod. There is only 1 thing an old VW skate board is good for. A Manx Dune Buggy. That's it.
Although I think this is kind of over the top "cliche". I like the idea of bolting the lights to the spindles. Lights move with the wheels. Cleaver :)
I always hating wearing them. I sweat horribly at any temp over 65* and drips all over my glasses and I can't see anything. Here is my...
In just the pictures posted on this thread I clearly count 31 "run of the mill" passenger cars/trucks. Not to mention a handful of motor homes and...
Salvage Yard is just a nicer way of saying Junk Yard. No one is a Secretary anymore, they are Administrative Assistants. Sorry but I see a...
Everything happens quick, not just with kids or other people in the shop. I was in the garage over the weekend working on my racecar. I...
You guys may not understand how threads like this can keep people going some times. My wife and I have been trying for a long time, and no...
I am never really "cast" as an outsider but I feel like one. A true car guy or mechanic can spot a fake (or someone who doesn't have a clue)...
I run AR134's in my O/T dirt late model. I have been impressed with how these plugs work for me.
That would be a pretty bad mistake. #2 is clear on the other side of the engine.
I have had this happen many times with my job. For me it's best to type out an email right away, while I am still fuming mad. But don't send it....
My wife (and my crew chief) and I at Niagara Falls. [IMG] Both of us all cleaned up and lookin spiffy! [IMG] And me having a little fun....
I was looking for an affordable oil to run in my racecar. It is a solid lifter motor so I needed an oil with high zinc and phos levels. I tried...
There are sites that stop people from copying the image and saving it. But there is nothing you can do if someone hits the print screen button....
Getting things to line up might be tough. I did something similar with my racecar. I wanted to add a cheap-o alternator so I wouldn't have to...
OT but its a project I am working on this winter. Getting the car ready for next season. Need to strip the car and check it for cracks. Pull the...
