With all the snow melt, we had water up to the bottom of our sliding door in the basement walkout and surrounding the hot tub. The concrete pad does lean towards the house, so when we get a lot of rain, water pools there. Most of the roof melt was running down the deck to this area as well. I didn't want a gia...

It seem this video would recommend a cork gasket over the one piece rubber gasket and it uses spray adhesive to anchor the gasket to the block before installing the oil pan. What do you think about the procedure as well as using a 4 piece gasket as opposed to a 1 piece rubber gasket. I also looked at a vide...

Since it feels like winter's never going to end...thought I'd post these throwback pics from 1982 when I drove my 71 Malibu home from college in a snowstorm. Yes they were our daily drivers back then! Check out the side exit exhaust. I thought I was cool with glasspacks. Lol

I'm looking at a used 2007 Chevy Silverado LTZ for a bigger truck, and wondering if anyone has any good/bad knowledge about that year? I think some of you had a truck of this vintage. It does have close to 200K miles, so biggest concern is transmission life and if the LS engine needs a rebuild. It's hard...

FFR has a discussion forum similar to ours. It has been a valuable resource to me (and others) for an idea exchange, tips, tricks, and clarification while building one of these wacky cars. The only thing that starts to get my goat is there's a surplus of contributors that probably spend more time behin...

Since I added AC last fall I am thinking that the 34.5 pitch fan will more a lot more air than the 27 degree blade. How much might just be a guess. I noticed the corvette fans available seem to indicate the the 34.4 pitch was used on AC cars. Maybe some of the other GM A body cars used a higher pitch on their a...

Couldn't believe it happened. On my recent trip to Verrado AZ I picked up a nail just before my trip home. Took it to Discount Tire in Buckeye AZ. They took the tire and rim off, removed the tire, patched the tire, and remounted tire. Not sure if they balanced the tire or not. Cost $0.00

I had a gas line run last winter into the attached garage of our house (not the man cave being built), and wondering about thoughts on radiant vs. forced air non-vented heaters.

Has anyone ever seen the front lower control arm bushings tach welded in? Just came across a set where the lower rear bushing has been tach welded in. I don’t work with a lot of control arms but these are a first for me. It’s a 72 SS Chevelle built in Kansas City.

Bonnie and I took off today for a 100 mile cruise. We went down the west side and up the east side of the St. Croix River.
