    Boat Motor In My Studebaker.

    So as some of you my know, I just happen to own this really solid non running 1951 Studebaker Champion Starlight Coupe. I originally bought it with the aspirations of getting it on the road while keeping it original. Unfortunately parts are very expensive and damn near impossible to find, so I...

    New Tires, What should I do for wheels?

    Oh man, I need a change of underwear after seeing that picture. The canoe, the topper, the faded paint what's not to love? I vote white, and if you're going through the trouble of having them power coated, I'd also pay and have them sandblasted beforehand, then you probably won't have to deal...

    Craziest antitheft idea yet.

    I went to trade school in Denver Colorado, but now I'm finally back in Illinois.

    Craziest antitheft idea yet.

    My anti-theft was putting it in gear and removing the shift lever. After the first time someone tried to steal it, I took an extra precaution every night by swapping a plug and coil wire on the distributor. Then when someone tried to carjack me in it, I went out and bought a tazer/mace (I'm...

    Craziest antitheft idea yet.

    I always had the idea of welding a nut to the brake pedal, and having a super sharp spike that threads in, so whoever tries tho steal it impales their foot. Obvious, they'd probably try to sue me for that (Though I still think I'd probably win that case). I also had another idea of installing...

    https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/398013605937145/?mibextid=dXMIcH What the hell is this guy smoking? Even is if it was actually in absolutely perfect condition, I'd maybe give him half (there is obviously some rust bubbling up).

    Show your daily driver

    The old manual swapped suburban is giving me some troubles, now it needs intake gaskets. With my new job and college, I might be looking for a slightly lower mileage gas saver pretty soon. (Just rolled over 330k) And by gas saver I mean something like this '96 Caprice Classic with the L99. Or...

    Engine is in!!! I'm going to finish everything up tomorrow, but I did hook the starter/oil pressure line up and it spit out about 45lbs of oil pressure while cranking.

    Just picked up my brand-used flywheel. The one the autoparts store had was for a 1 piece rear main seal engine, so I ran to a local machine shop, and they had this for half the price already machined (it passed the bell test).

    Thank you, and thats quite a clever doohickey, I might have to use it some day.

    False alarm! So I yanked the flywheel off and put the original 10 inch clutch one on, and it spins true (mind the torn up ring gear). Then I looked closely at my other flywheel and found a crack in the center, no doubt being attributed to an embarrassing incident that happended about a month...
