Show off your non-square project cars.
Pretty sure I saw this in Rick's back yard as I drove by. . . . I'd build one, so we could get the yard done in under 25 seconds, but I'm not sure where I'd park my attempt, which would, probably, look more like a totaled Yugo.- Dejure

What new tools have you got lately?
This counts (shop comfort), right? Am in the process of getting the final details done on an install of a 24k BTU split for the shop. The shop is 1,800 square feet. I was running a window unit, which was 12k BTU's. The old window unit went south recently, about 15 years in. it, generally... -
What new tools have you got lately?
I bought the same wheel lift hickeydo and am pretty impressed with it. It, certainly, is a lot easier to get over to the truck than the over-engine creeper, but which I like too. -

A question for the wheel/tire gurus
snort - way cool. I'm from the "yeah, the calcium [meant CHLORIDE, but said carbide (a whole new meaning to blowing your tires up)] has rusted half the rim away, throw a new tube in it" era.- Dejure

Coolant recovery system not working
They do wear out, but we tend to run them for 40 years. . . . A bad cap can make a good system broke and diminish efficiency, just as a thermostat can. Easy, cheap stuff first.- Dejure

Looking For Glass Etch Opinions and Ideas For My Truck Windows
I etched all the windows on my old 69 step side. It's been gone for decades. Now I have a new blank canvas, which looks rather much like a 78 step side. It was a bit of work, but as people pointed out, it looked nice and stood the truck out around every other truck around it. The only thing I...- Dejure

Many of us have had to resort to an e-brake when life went south. THEN there is that the master cylinder was shot on my 67 square back, back around 73 or 74. I used the e-brake to activate the rear brakes and the peddle activated the front disks. It made for an amazing snow-ice car. I could...- Dejure

Howdy from WA
It ain't the Wenatchee [or East Wenatchee] we grew up with. I live an hour plus away now (Mattawa - Desert Aire), but my brother is still off Sunset, near Bob Philes. . . . He has a few late sixties and a few seventies rigs. Just dropped off a new key and tumbler for my brother to give his...- Dejure
