It's major $$ to bring a critter into the States. My daughter has set up a "Go Fund Me" page to help offset the costs of bringing "Nacho" back home with her. Bring Nacho Home If you can help out it would be very appreciated.

Now that the 200R4 swap is complete I believe the next update needed is some tires to replace the BFG Radial T/As. I would prefer not to run drag radials of some kind but there doesn't seem to be many other choices out their. I want to keep my 15x7 SS wheels and ideally stay with 275/60/15 28" tall tire as...

the city broke out a snowplow for one part of my town. My street is OK but you can see a lot of weak fences and old trees got dominated by the winds.

Really love this Truck. Best road vehicle I have ever owned. Big block (502) 3/4 ton, 2005 with real bumpers and sheetmetal. 7000 pounds with full fuel and me. Tows my car hauler like a dream. Bought it used with 71000 miles. Wish I had another one stashed in the shed, staying dry and not rusting away. I w...

Winnebago sold! Had to buy something almost as big! Pretty dry, California built vehicle, with an Earl Scheib $99.95 special, somewhat aged! 307 three on the tree, power steering and, tinted glass. Thanks to Chad Kiefer for the referral!

Here are the pictures of this pristine driver.

Thanks again to those that helped with my trunk crossmember project. Everything is back together and Keith installed a tire on my recently painted rim.

The plug on the antenna doesn't fit the best into my old delco radio. A few years ago the shop in Anoka S&E checked out the radio and said is tested good. They gave me a new end to install on the antenna wire. I just don't know how to do this. Is it pretty simple? Thanks

The springs that came with the car were aftermarket and the car sat a little low in the rear, so I used spacers. I had a set of rear coil springs from an old 66 that I thought were original; but maybe an owner put different springs in the car that was retired in 81. Well I put those spring in and the cars sits 2...

I have a friend I grew up with in northern Minnesota that has a 1950 Lincoln with a 337 CI flat head that Lincoln used in cars from about 1948 through 1951 and then some truck applications. Last year he noticed a lot of coolant leakage and is sure he has a block problem. He tells me these old flat heads are kin...

Whats the verdict? I've read some posts and most recommend metro. Steel is quite expensive, around $150 for a set. Metro about $110 and soft seal about $90.

I've always wanted a better tool for installing control are bushing, pieces of cut up tailpipe were just a pain. So with my new welding skills that still need refinement, I made this tool.

So I wanted to check the overall health of the mystery 350 SBC motor in my Chevelle, and checked the cranking compression of each cylinder when the engine was cold. After reading more on how to do the cranking check, I realized I was supposed to have taken all of the spark plugs out then install the gauge...

Looking for a recommendation on upgrading from front drums to discs. Looking at this Wilwood kit: Wilwood Brake Link I don't want to go any bigger than 12" rotor's to stay within a 17" wheel. Thanks.
