    Anybody know Ford's, here?

    Think it will need new brackets either way as the brackets on the car are bent I assume as the pump appears to be cocked slightly.

    Any advice on what I need to know about country living/owning property?

    If working on cars in the country either plan on buying all the parts to completely rebuild the assembly you are working on or plan to make multiple trips to get that part that you weren't planning on replacing but find it is bad once you get it torn apart. I live about 30 miles from the...

    Why are mopar parts so scarce at swap meets?

    Why are mopar parts so scarce at swap meets? Went to probably one of the biggest non-marquee specific swap meets in the area, drawing sellers and buyers from at least 4 states. And only a handful of mopar parts.

I need to paint them, what would be a good paint(spray can), that will not stick to other weights when stacked or the floor board? I painted some last summer with a gloss white I had laying...

    Went to a poker run last night. It used to be no cars before a certain year, the group doing it used to make remarks about my granny mobile(67 Dart 270, 4 door). Now about half the cars are newer Mustangs, Camaros, Vettes and Challengers. They have their car show today, didn't even bother to...

    Can't read cursive ???????

    I remember when I was in 2nd grade and learning cursive that I was continually hounded because I was told that I made my small x's backwards. Two years ago took my 10 nephew to s state park and each station had a sheet for the kids to fill out with questions that the answers could be found at...

    I got a health question regarding using some chemicals on our cars

    At work I have to wipe tubing down prior to bending with prep-sol, and I wear rubber gloves the kind like you would use in the kitchen, and I have also used them with brake parts cleaner. But I clean the wheels on my nephews soap box derby car with brake parts cleaner and don't use gloves. I...

    Here's a couple of examples I have seen. Coming out of a town the bypass joins the highway very much like an interstate on ramp(yield sign for bypass), this woman coming off of the bypass does not yield and drives for a mile on the shoulder along side of me, I could hear the rumble strips she...

    You caint make this stuff up.....

    The owner of the dog should have to reimburse everyone on the plane for the tickets. I don't hate dog owners, just the ones that reel they have to take their dogs everyplace. I was at a tourist trap and a woman was pushing around a stroller covered in a blanket, someone bumped it and knocked...

    Jesus on a pancake...

    I agree, looks like Manson. I thought this was going to be a rant thread, thought "Jesus on a pancake" was a new cuss word. Think I will start using that when things aren't going right, so if you ever hear anyone say that remember I started it.

    Fashion statement. Just saying.....

    Aw, come on, who here didn't dress in some kind of fad clothing in the day? Don't you suppose the old timers were saying the same thing about leisure suits, or tight blue jeans, that were so tight they were almost obscene, and rock and roll t-shirts, half t-shirts that didn't cover the stomach...

    You learn something new every day

    Probably watch for one on rummage sales, swap meets, or make my own. Because the chain trick is not something I would want to try with the rear end in the car.

    You learn something new every day

    Yeah I thought of a loaner, but even that means a 30 mile (one way)trip to auto parts and then another trip to return it. Growing up in a rural area we learn to do a lot with makeshift tools.

    You learn something new every day

    I was working on the 7 1/4 rear in my dart. At first I thought they were c-clip axles, couldn't find my service manual, but found my Haynes manual, shoot, I need a slide hammer. This would mean a trip to town and running all over, to spend $100+ for a tool that I would use once. I knew there...

    All time worst actors?

    Steve Carel, guess he falls into the category of I can't stand him, rather than bad actor, to me all of the roles he plays are of the same person, did like him in the Way, way Back, but he played the same butthead as every other role he plays, but you are supposed to hate him.
