Was at the OKC LKQ pick a part yard today, saw this Olds 88. Didn't stop, but looked pretty clean from a casual walk by [ATTACH]
Yep. Went to my mentor's estate auction today. Whole lifetime of work and acquisition all on the block. Felt bad for his daughter who was left to...
Local Safety-Kleen operation sells re-refined oil. I used it in my 350K mile OT Diesel truck with no ill effects, was considerable less expensive...
Sure they do....bogus VIN tag factories do. Automobile assembly plants, no.
That was me in 1987 in Dallas. Surf green 62 Impala coupe. Started spraying, wound up stripping all the repaint off of it. Kind of odd, wasn't...
SBC roller block cores are everywhere. They're more plentiful now than the non-roller blocks.
Probably a farm boy from way back. Old tractors didn't allow gear changes while in motion. You picked the gear and went from a stop, just like you...
It's not just the aftermarket, our local Multi-line OE (GM, Fomoco, FCA, Honda, Toyota) dealer's warehouse sends us stuff that was obviously...
5 MONTHS on several parts for a 2020 Lincoln Corsair. Probably didn't help that it is a new design. Crazier yet, couple months in, customer...
You'd like to think so, but not really. We JUST started retaining the plate when a vehicle is sold, so that slowed down the people that never...
Family friend got rear-ended by a teen driver as she was waiting for traffic to clear to exit a parking lot. Kid got out, apologized, said it was...
Nomads.....an impossible dream for many of us. I'm with you on the 56, never understood the hoopla of the 55 and 57 over the 56, I think it's the...
Never..not odd. To me the odd ones are the guys ate up with athletic teams/events they were never a part of. I mean the guys that are all about...
They sure seem to have dried up arond here lately, haven't they?
Haven't used a cutoff wheel to grind a weld in the 2 years since I bought a belt sander. Can't imagine going back to them. Work great for grinding...
I was thinking the same thing, mentioned it to my 20 year-old, who replied that lots of younger people use Gmail, since most people no longer have...
I don't see why they can't deposit it their account, and do a wire transfer...unless the lender doesn't trust the buyer, either.
1987, Dallas. Driving my '62 Impala coupe, L60s on the back (pretty worn), Took the ramp off of SB I35 forEB I635, gentle sweeper, but had been...
FWIW, Toyota and Chrysler say not to use it. They want you to treat the seam after assembly.
Put that same exact set of studs into some Gen II heads, using the exact same tool, all purchased from Speedway with 0 problems. I'm thinking the...
Matco warrantied my 23 year-old one. The rep was surprised/impressed I still had the receipt:p He wasn't sure what weight it was, as the design...
The 2 I've seen broken were plain laminate. I'd imagine the automakers really don't concern themselves with what might happen a couple decades or...
Many GM (and others) cars are using laminated side glass in current production, as some PDR guys have found out the hard way. Most now look at the...
Not as old, but saw these in CO a few years back....57 Ford sedan and ? SAM_1442 by Ribbedroof posted May 14, 2020 at 7:22 PM SAM_1444 by...
gmpartswiki.com is a good resource as well (also works for limited ford and Jeep)
To me, it's just like the musclecar-era cars were recently....many buyers want to buy into projects/drivers to build, so the further away we get...
Sorry Bones, (barring family scenarios like the posted example) that's incorrect. Filing for a lost title in Oklahoma requires that the...
We use the 3m 8852 cavity wax at work. I apply it any time a door is opened...new outer panel, repairs to existing panel, or salvage door shell....
Valid points, but the way it was said was rather crass. Brings to mind the whole magazine debacle, outdated and inefficient, yet many here insist...
