or just toss it up on the lift....;)😋

I have always loved FK5, many many moons ago Iooked at a 70 Sport Satellite 383/4bbl, 4spd car in FK5 with a FK5 interior...can't recall if it was a bench or buckets/console...super cool car! Think some low brow troglodyte got it and turned it into a TX9 GTX clone. 😔

Well that tosses a few more issues into the decision now doesn't it. Now how to determine exactly what type of metal pin I have? Likely short of filing off some material and sending it off of analysis there is likely no way to know for sure. Metallurgy chart... McMaster-Carr 69's suggestion...

Just did the file test...just plain old cold rolled steel. One of the reasons I asked...I want to do the repairs right.;) I want those pulley spin with minimal resistance so I think I'll just fab up all new pins for every point there is a pulley on the system. Then clean and grease...

There are no bearings, just a thin brass bushing between the pulley and the pin. Had not thought about using a file...will do that and report back.

OK so now that Christmas and the holiday season is over I can start getting to the 4 post lift. First off is one of the pulley shafts got bent...not sure if the reason for the retirement of the lift, or maybe happened during disassembly, or perhaps when we were loading it and all the columns...

Hope they are not blowing smoke and get to your car next! When I was restoring my coronet he finally finished all the body work and paint then his business went into receivership due to a bad divorce. My car was locked up in that shop for months while I jumped through all the legal hoops to...

Was out plowing with Sno-ball last week and the lower rad hose popped, Again! Had some time after getting the exhaust manifold done on Patches so moved it into the shop. was able to steal a lower rad hose off one of the parts Ramcharger I picked up a couple years ago...just had to shovel a...

So back on went the old manifold, only took about 90 minutes to get it back on and everything hooked back up. I put a complete 4" Stainless exhaust system on earlier this year and at the time everything went together fine but when I pulled the V-clamp off the turbo during tear down it had...

Since I had the manifold off I thought now would be the perfect time to swap on the 24Valve manifold I've had kicking around for close to 10 years. SO I dug it out of the shed and started cleaning it up so I could mark out the square gasket and transition the round ports to work better on the...

Well I guess with the 10 days we had in the -35*C to -49*C just before Christmas the exhaust manifold started to leak badly, was getting so much exhaust fumes into the cab I couldn't run the heater...thank goodness it had warmed up to -2*C to -6*C on the 2 days I had to work last week, so I only...

Finding an old timer like that is pure gold!!

Absolutely nothing about that Mustang I find even remotely appealing...if I HAD to choose one thing maybe the paint colour and quality? I'd take a 3rd Gen Charger over a 2nd Gen any day! I had a 69 Charger and it was a cool car, but my 73 Roadrunner was a way better car over all, ride...

So many flags on that car! I like the half hearted wire brushing on the grease on the K-frame engine mount, nasty nuts and bolts abound, and why do people install the tips so far out like that...not that those tips are even remotely correct, or even in decent shape. Heck the wear and tear of...

I wasn't a dick and just assuming it would be free so I asked if I owed him anything more for the extra work done to the hydraulic ram...he said no we were good! I asked again if he was sure...he said yup were good! Stand up guy for sure!! (y)

Has your rotisserie seen much water? The main shaft seals on them never seem to keep all the water out, I change the fluid on Sno-Ball's plow system every year and it amazes me how much water gets in from sitting...and we don't get a ton of rain here. I'm guessing it could also be from the...

Shift position here...into gear, shifter position there...into gear.;)

FART...Fan Art? :unsure:

Almost 10 years for Dane is a really impressive...sorry for the loss. :cry:

Just got back from a 29 hour/1950 km rounder to get the 4 post lift, trip there was pretty good, but got it loaded and as soon as I fueled up a storm came sweeping in, the whole drive back was lots of snow, freezing rain, wicked winds, glazed ice roads, and poor visibility made it take 3-4 hours...
