Alright.. There's a better way. Who sells the tool to do this? The kits you rent from Trash auto don't have the correct pieces to pull them out. I can get them in on my press, but always have to torch them out and split the casings with a hacksaw.. So much bullshit

I will go through many sawzall blades to stick this in something https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/322061350498

My buddy got me these at Carlisle for helping him with his Datsun. He paid $100 for all four. They're Accro, and I think they're from the seventies. They're on my truck, and awesome.the last shot was cheating.. I crammed it in the bead/rim protector of the BFGs and got down on the same level...

I just got my buddy's '73 Challenger in to recommission. Most of this has been covered in the gawldammed throwout bearing thread, but a quick recap won't hurt. It's sat for six to eight years. It started out life as a 318 autotragic with a pea soup paint job. It was bought as scrap and built...

Here's my buddy's.. He's super OCD about everything, and not a mechanic. I don't see this one running for two more years. I could have it moving in two days or so.

If I had a time machine and a brand X boner, I'd wait a year and buy one of these. or, one of these.. Because Wagon.

The bucket would be full of bad gas and caliper effluvium.. Not sure I want to wash with it. The gas line I'd thought of, but because my "shop" is spread out between my basement and my my "garage", the table will be moving around.. I've got compressors in both, so I'll just drag the closest air...

This is no coach work in an Oakland, but I built a mobile brake/carb rebuilding table. Months ago I mentioned some science tables I fell into. I took one that looked very purposeful with a sink in it, and built up a stand for it. Ultimately I'll mount a vise near the sink, and remove the...

Okay, so I was gifted a manual steering box for an A body.. I'll likely put in the Dart when the v8 goes in, provided I won't rip it out of the car trying to turn under the weight. It it was totally seized up, so I pulled the cross shaft cover off and found the oil was contaminated by water...

That was a grueling month. My boss, and close friend was on sabbatical in Europe, and his replacement was what the Japanese would call a paper tiger.. He'd been to grad school, had a terminal degree, loads of work experience, and absolutely no grounding in reality or sound construction...

I used the rigging system to hang the center of the dome along with the first rib.. Then used our lift to go around and install the others The real version looks like this: Mine looked like this. The band was staged in the middle, meaning I had to cantilever the front of the dome, because the...

Fair enough.. I'll bite. I'm the assistant technical director and scene shop manager for Shenandoah University's theatre dept. basically I run a day care for over privileged 8 year olds trapped in college kids' bodies and playing with power tools. Following are some shots of my swan song...

Huh, just realized reading all of the responses that I misspelled "initial". Worse yet, I did it in all caps.. I take pride in not doing either of these things.. What's weird is that I know the starting sounds of a motor with way too much timing. After a couple of cranks, it bogs down on each...

So, this is where I get questionable stares and people either think I'm an idiot, or tell me I'm a hazard to myself and others.. I drill the shit out of my backing plates and drums to ventilate my brakes. Here's how it works. Around the perimeter of the backing plate, drill a bunch (40...

Long update Ive done some horse trading, and got paid $300 to source two dashboards out of first gen Rams. They cost me $30 for one, and I traded one I had from a '78 for the other. The one I traded went to the guy who sold me the dart. He said he'd ask his dad who took the v8 out of my car...

It's clean, no holes in the floors, body or trunk.. Three places where the paint's popped a little. Front seat needs some love. It was a v8 car, but some d-bag yanked the motor, k frame, and trans to put in a two door 64 Dart. They replaced it with a '63 running gear and a 225, but at least...

Why shouldn't I buy it? All 833 bell housings are the same, right? Its advertised as a '65 4 speed bell housing.. There weren't any other small block four speeds then were there? Also, in Richmond there's a guy selling a three speed manual from a '73 340 Challenger.. Who the hell checked that box?

Well, I found this in the number 7 hole.. My measurements say the block was bored at least thirty over, and I know it was used primarily for street racing. On the plus side, I've got a bunch of good parts for free. Oh well, better luck next time

A buddy of mine called up and asked me if I wanted the motor he promised me ages ago. I didn't remember anything about any motor promised to me, so I naturally said "sure, I guess.." We ride out to his farm and under a lean to by the barn is a small block V8. He said "I know you've been...

Yes I can.. Almost a direct copy. DOHC NA inline four, manual gearbox, no frills, even the frame is the same shape.. Plus pop up headlights! I'd also stick a photo of a 911, Morgan, Alfa spider, MGB, Beetle, Shelby Cobra, and a Super Seven in here.. Granted, some of them are kit cars, some of...
