You want your oxygen and acetylene set at the same rate for welding. You want a neutral flame, having more O2 is for cutting. Are you using a...
The motor mount bent and the weld didn't break? Nice welding, man. As for the reimbursement, I hope you're planning to tow that thing to the...
Look close at where the BIG O-ring (torus cover seal?) is supposed to go. When I pulled mine out of my Olds, it was so messed up from the heat...
Ok, I'll bite, I've got a '58 and would love to have auto-adjusters. Can I use my stock hardware with them? What year impala are they off of? I...
I hate to be a possible bearer of bad news, but here in Ohio, if that tree was alive it would be called an 'act of god'. If it was dead or...
I had the same issue on our Olds and it turned out that my accelerator pump cup in the carb had disintegrated rendering it useless and leaving me...
Agreed. You'll make money to build the hot rod and, then, you'll have a bike AND a hot rod. I guess that's easy to say though, if I sold ALL my...
There's still U-Fab's being made, or at least sold, for them. They're all 4x2 or 6x2 intakes though...

Agreed on Dave Ramsey, I'm about 6 months from being debt-free except for the house. Yeah. all my cars are beaters, but when it's all said and...
Get well soon, Jim. You're one of my favorite people...
How much kickup are you running in back? Buggy spring? Stock crossmember or something else? And, I agree, it's freakin awesome that a 15y/o...
I'm not a small-block chevy guy ever, but I've read that they only have a rep for running hot because there's steam holes or different coolant...
Those welds look more like brazing or something...
For real, I'd be talking to him about what half of the beef from the cows in question comes to...
