I have found that you get a better quality files (and a larger selection, when you buy them at places that cater to machine shops. Even files from...
It looks like there is enough room to use a Dremel type tool to cut a slot through the male teeth on the pulley as far back from the front edge as...
Awesome! You won't see another when you finally get it drivable.
Squirrel is right (again) that the aviation industry (including the USAF) use fine threads almost exclusively. The exception seems to be the...
I generally don't like customs but this one is an exceptional something else! Very nice. Lots of work but a very nice result.
I was burning out these switches on an off topic, but vintage, race car on a regular basis. I finally "solved" the problem by switching to LED...
Wow! What a nice car. I am not generally a fan of custom cars but this is something really special. Well done!
Electrical issues can be weird. My guess (because it happened to me) is that the distributor doesn't have a good ground. Yes, I know that the...
Great looking truck. I like the traditional wheels, rings and caps!
Get a hand held temperature gun and find out what is really happening. Read the temperature at the top of the radiator and again at the bottom....
Hey guys. Be careful using Simple Green on aluminum. The FAA has issued an advisory that Simple Green should not be used on Aluminum airplanes....
My Guess.... I think it is a tool that is used to resurface/clean up the seat in a faucet.

When a person is asking for help they are already stressed out. They have tried to fix the problem and now they have to ask for help. If you are...
The dial calipers allow you to interpolate between the lines. With digital calipers all you know is what the display shows. You don't know if the...
When the story I am being told by the owner/dealer doesn't match up with what I can see. If they are stupid enough (or think I am stupid enough)...
