Welcome Kid. The best advice I can give you is to remove the back panels and look inside. Sometimes you will see a date on a circuit board. Good...
We may be able to help you out. Send a photo or two, as we are not mind readers.

Great job ! What brand is that pneumatic planishing hammer? It is short and stubby compared to an air hammer. Thanks, Tom
Borrowed a copy from the local library. Great for a few laughs, recommend it too. The old trailers were meant to be hauled by the family car.
Does anyone have a camper restoration shop recommendation near southern New Hampshire? Thanks!
Be aware of rebuilt vs remanufactured. Some shitbag shops claim to rebuild like new. In essence, all that is done is gaskets and a pretty...
Looks like a Delco distributor from the early to mid 30's would work for you. I recently swapped one from a Buick distributor to a Packard one....
I THINK I COULD FINISH MY PROJECTS IN HALF THE TIME IF.... I never had a wife or kids
Hi Frank, Long time admirer of your posts. One question: Whatever happened to that Auburn engine that you were working on? Peace my friend. Tom...
Check, clean, and tighten all connections. It might look good from a distance, like a whore at 3 AM. But you might see all the warts when you...
How about quoting him "time and materials"? Have him leave a deposit and when that runs out - have him replenish the balance. As far as the...
I wish I had a girlfriend (errr wife) like that... garage smarts and hot to boot!
My latest shitbox to the fleet. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

Simply stunning! Thank you very much there, Moose! About how long is the bed in that photo?
Zowie! Thanks Moose. How about matching front and rear doors? Blue or green color, with stock wheels, too? Are you sure you are not Santa Claus in...
I am new to this photoshop technology. Was hoping to have someone show me what a '35 Ford crew cab would look like. Thank you.

Harley Earl? He was a legend at GM.
Very nice post. Which crimper do you reccomend for doing early automotive flag terminals? This type of crimp is done at the end of the tool. I am...
I like it. Could use it to shift gears on a swap meet shopping cart, as it looks light enough. More details please.
Generally for a press fit in steel - the rule usually is .001" per inch. So I would go .0006" under what you want. Using a drill would be...
Info on the straight eight Dynaflows would be great also.
Not a problem Dave. Helping one another is what the hobby should be all about.
Dave, If you are in a jam, I will syncronize your dual points distributor on my Sun distributor tester. Free of charge - however, you pay the...
This was in my dentist's office, before the new owners took over the business and painted right over the original finish. It was a very nice and...
