As we know I love steelies and dog dish caps but the tire choice looks like 225/85/15 truck tires! And then the 70's caps just don't suit the car. I'd rather see just chrome lug nuts than those caps on that car....and a nice set of RWL tires in a 225/70/15 would look great!

My brother was a huge Maverick/Comet fan...we used to pick them up for next to nothing, or free from so many places...seemed we were dragging one home almost every weekend. He found a couple manual 3spd cars and then used those pedals and a warmed up 302/4spd in many different cars over the...

Ohh No!!.....Anyways. I haven't been to a new car show in close to 30 years...think it was the Vancouver show actually, probably around 1995....Geezus you know your getting old when you can make reference to personal historical events in decades. 😄😬

What about these? https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/iYYAAOSw9HNjimPl/s-l500.jpg 1940-1950-ish Dodge, Plymouth, Chrysler, Desoto....I might even have some in decent shape from when i was working on my 48 Desoto, either Desoto units or maybe from a 46 Dodge I parted out....would have to dig through...

I looked at a 66 with a 390/4spd in it after my 66 Falcon got hit...but think the guy was asking a bit more than my budget could handle.

Well the Coronet passed inspection! Couple small issue that they were willing to over look with the agreement that I would purchase the replacement tires I need for the coronet from them...;) Great shop that was almost all old car guys...even a bunch of customers who came in turned out to be...

I had the same issue when looking for a new radiator for my daughter 88 Aries....searched all over Canada and the US tons of calls to parts suppliers and warehousing facilities, eventually found one old stock unit ...it had been there so long the white foam inside the box had started to turn...

Why do guys with open element air cleaners never change them out? They always seem to be the colour of my shop rags after an oil change.

Patches weighs in around 6900lbs so I guess technically I could get it on there, but it's mainly for storing the Coronet and the wagon neither weighs more than 4000lbs, so should be fine for what I need it for. ;)

I just purchased a used 4 post lift today for the shop, It's a 8000lb Lift king unit, it's a few years old and I will have to drive 8 hours one way to get it but for the price I couldn't pass it up! I have been looking for one for a while now and just missed out on one locally by a few minutes...

Transmission parts cleaned up nice...not bad for a free A833OD! (y)

TIL that there was a Plymouth Champ!! Wonder what the power/economy stick engages or disengages? Maybe an over/under drive set-up?

The corrosion on the copper is usually from old flux being left on the joints after soldering the connection, a quick wash and clean when it was freshly done and those problems generally don't happen down the road. I've done a bunch of copper piping in homes over the years...really not that...

Man do I know that...2 years on and still dealing with my mom's estate...mostly thanks to her decision to put my brother and I as co-executors and my lying, lazy, ignorant brother. FYI if you have any kids DO NOT put them on as joint executors....choose one for good or ill.

Years ago at a local show I spotted a 57 Windsor 2dr in those colours...man what a beautiful car!

We used to have ethanol free premium but now it has 10% Ethanol in it as well...so I have no other option but to run it. I do run the Marine Sta-Bil though and it seems to mitigate most of the issues the ethanol causes to carb sitting with fuel in them. I use my weed eater maybe once or twice...

My previous place we had squirrel problems and they had got into my attic and started a brood up there, I found the hole in the eaves and patched it up inside the attic with metal wire and outside with new plywood, but there were several young squirrels still in the attic when I was...

I like that a lot!! (y)

Was talking with a friend last year about house fires and out where he lives outside of town there are several properties now sitting abbandonded with burned homes on them because the owners had fire places installed that were not inspected or approved for home use...which then voids any...

The Van looks great! I did one fender on Patches last winter with the roll on Tremclad , with minimal wet sanding between coats and very poor prep work...was suprised how good it turned out! With some decent prep and primer and a lot more wet sanding between coats you could end up with a...
