Quickest way i've found: Lay tire flat one ground Take valve core out Put my parts chasing truck in 4 lo Drive up on tire(but not the rim) Done
I don't think my point was clear. I know what work he did and i know it was bad work. My point is this. That car already had major problems...
You know Ollie, the car was hacked when our friend got it, and it was hacked when you saw it being worked on. I know it's not rite to build a car...
Hey man, any idea what they want for the back glass? I need the middle of the three piece back window for my Buick.
I put a 1406 in my girlfriend's Ranchero. It's got a 390 out of a 63 Tbird. I bolted it up, ran the lines for the regulator, and haven't had to...
If your coilover gives a bad ride, swap out the coil for a different spring rate. The only broken coilover i've seen personally was a bent coil...
Rite on! I'll be looking forward to it.
Thanks! Glad you like them. Unfortunately we all have day jobs so we can't really tour. Maybe someday, hopefully.
I don't know about back in the day, but i know to this day you can get knock off stuff from Speedway with the eyes logo. Not sure how they get...
Poster board is stuff for making posters. Its a little thicker than paper, not quite as thick as cardboard. Its sturdy enough to make good...
Actually if i recall correctly those old chevy axle's are kind of like the ford 8 and 9 inchs and the axle do slide out without having to pull...
I miss the old shifters anti-blessing. A ten minute drive, sit on the grass, and no one bitching. Although come to think of it, i'm sure someone...

The first motor i ever rebuilt was a 390 outta a tbird so i've always got a special place in my heart for FEs. Objectively i still think they're...

Haha, Hawaiian Gardens, such an odd place as it has neither gardens, nor anything related to Hawaii.
I think most of the greats have been mentioned, i just have to add my vote...then again i am a bit biased.
I have not been a fan of Mooneyes for a few years now. Keep in mind a lot of what they sell is repackaged made-in-china stuff, which means you...
Is it just me or is it a lot of the same people that jump on here once a week to complain about rat rods. Can we have tech week all the time?
This may not be your problem but i have a buddy with a small block in his Bronco and he has random no start problems. Oddly enough if he pulls...
