This past Thursday my morning surprise (0900) was a loud CRACK, then my daughter yelling "MOM/DAD/MOM/DAD COME QUICK!!!" The neighbor's zillion year old oak lost the limb that overhung my garage. The trunk on this tree goes 4ft. diameter if it's an inch, and the limb that snapped was a good 10" at the b...

We are planning to be there early for the pancake breakfast. If you drive a classic car, you can park in the grounds as part of the car show. The old Porky's is there, along with many other original buildings. Lots to see and the antique equipment is fascinating to watch work. http://www.littleloghous...

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...

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.

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.

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.
