Hey all. Going to be putting my 8x12 wood shed on Craigslist. To help it sell I am trying to figure out how to link the possible buyer up with a way to transport it. Anybody know of a place that will rent a flat bed trailer? Or someone that moves these for a fee?

... to look into the asking price of this old gas station where I'm moving to. It's got a cool 60's look to it, and would make an awesome private shop. Only issue is it's on a main intersection, so I'm sure the seller is looking to cash out. So many ideas... so little money!

Starting to plan out the new man cave, and need some wall cabinets. Found these at sears for $120 that seem to have good reviews for the money. Anyone else have them? Cabinet link

Looks to be a quality car. It's at the guys farm in Farmington that rebuilds transmissions. He and his brother are both into cars. Big price for a Malibu convert with the 283. To much for my blood. Most of these Malibu converts I see go from 20-30K. Convert

Check out this parking job in my front yard. Just getting ready to hit the sack when Angie said there's something going on in our front yard. I look out the window to see two fire trucks, an ambulance and four squad cars. The driver was very lucky to have missed some large trees.

The Mid-America Chevelle Club went for a cruise yesterday to Ft. Scott, KS and I rode shotgun with one of the members in a cool '72 wagon. It was 72 degrees and sunny and a great day for a drive.

Anybody happen to have the stock spring specs for a 70 ss 396 car. Need to get some replacement springs and they don't seem to list 396 just 454. Maybe they are the same but I don't know.

I had the Malibu out for a Spring drive about 3 weeks ago one Saturday afternoon when it was about 65 degrees out, and ended up at Gearlube's place. When I left, I did what I thought was a nice burnout after he egged me on..., and the next day he tells me 'pretty good for one tire....'. I was disappointed as...

I I I Iwould like to explore exposing a little more on my rear tire. So I was thinking of using some kind of spacer as a trial to see how it would look. It looks like there are two types of spacer, and adjustable type and a type that you just set between a couple of coils. Is one preferred over the other? Af...

The engine in my '62 Impala is from an 80-85 era truck. It had no dipstick but there were 2 in the car. Neither fit because they were too big. I started searching on line and that era block does have a different tube. I bought 2 tubes and they were both too large to fit in the block...

When I attach pics, they only show up in the attachments area, and not in the post. Is it a formatting thing? I've noticed when some of you attach a pic, it's also in the body of the post, and want to figure out how to do that without uploading to Photobucket and pasting the URL into the post. Thanks.
