    Fell out of the attic and broke my foot

    I need to schedule an appointment with the ortho for a more accurate prognosis. The doc at the ER said the X-ray didn't show a fracture, but she and another doc were pretty sure they saw something more. They CT scanned my foot and said they saw some weird kind of crush fracture, and naturally...

    Fell out of the attic and broke my foot

    That is WACKY that you could rip the muscle off and not experience pain. The human body sure is weird. I'm glad you all could share some of your stories, helps reassure me that I'm not the only klutz in the world. What astonishes me is how long I've gone without serious injury, considering some...

    Fell out of the attic and broke my foot

    Thanks! The only way I could get to the ER was because my gas foot was good!!

    Fell out of the attic and broke my foot

    I absolutely love the humor here!! Yes, it hurt when it happened and it still hurts. They offered pain meds, but at that point I just wanted to go home. Much easier to deal with pain in the comfort of your own home….who cares about drugs. What I’m most upset about is the fact I’ll be out of...

    Fell out of the attic and broke my foot

    Gosh DAMMIT!!! I heard a funny sound coming from the HVAC unit in my attic, so I went to investigate. Upon exiting, my feet couldn’t catch the ladder and down I went. My left foot caught one of the lower rungs of the ladder and SNAP. Broken metacarpal. I laid down waiting for the pain to go...

    SCT versus random orbital sander?

    I’ve had my eye on the SCT for a while now, they’re just so dang expensive. From what I understand, the SCT and a DA are for different things. The contouring tool is more for hogging off paint quickly and the DA is for lighter work. At least that’s my understanding of it…

    [SOLD] Flip top gas cap

    This came off my ‘68 Barracuda. I bought one that’s in better condition, so I’m selling this one. There are pits/spots/imperfections, whatever you want to call them. The cap is fully functional, but please understand that it’s not in perfect condition. There is blue overspray on the underside of...

    That rotating engine stand I told you guys about is on sale.

    15 minutes? BULLSHIT. Let’s see a video of you doing all of that in 15 minutes.

    That rotating engine stand I told you guys about is on sale.

    I like that idea, but in the time I’d spend doing that, I’d lose money on the other jobs I could be completing.

    Brakes - all of a sudden no stop

    Another thing to consider is the possibility that the cup that separates the fluid between the front and rear reservoirs is bad. You'll get little to no braking and no signs of leakage, because the fluid is being pushed from one reservoir to the other.

    I wish it was closer craigslist finds

    When I see these, I'm tempted to email them a picture of Scarlett Johansson and say that's what their wife would look like restored.

    This might be a problem. Oh well, keep grinding!

    This may be a stupid question, but why brush in one direction? I've heard it before and I believe it's in the directions, but I've never understood why.

    I wish it was closer craigslist finds

    Frost green with a white top, just like my '74 Barracuda used to be. I can't decide if I love the color or hate the color.

    If anyone gets a hold of this guy, let him know I've been trying to email him for 2 weeks! I want his center section.

    muriatic acid, OK for carb soaking?

    Agreed. The only thing I use muriatic acid for on metal is removing mill scale or rust on non-structural steel, prior to welding. Works great. Even then, I dilute it 50/50 with water, and you still need to neutralize it afterwards. It is nasty stuff! Chemical gloves and eye protection at a minimum.

    Red "X" Got Me Again

    Maybe make it a two-step process? Like when we hit it, a prompt comes up asking, "Are you SURE you want to disagree with Rusty?"

    muriatic acid, OK for carb soaking?

    Holy COW. Muriatic acid on aluminum? Hard no. Buy an ultrasonic cleaner and use a diluted solution of either Purple Power or Totally Awesome. Or skip the ultrasonic machine and just use those cleaners, but for God's sake, don't use muriatic acid. That stuff is brutal, even if you dilute it.

    What's a fair price to ....

    I think he's asking for prices to have them coated, not what he will get if he sells them.

    That rotating engine stand I told you guys about is on sale.

    Do all of the geared head stands have fixed flanges like that? I imagine that would be the main downside.

    8.75 from a ‘65 Coronet in an A body?

    Thanks everyone. Sorry about that, I suppose I should’ve mentioned what car it’s going in. I have a ‘68 Barracuda fastback, so I’m thinking the wide wheel wells could work in my favor. I haven’t decided on wheels, this project is pretty far from being complete, so I have some time to decide...

    8.75 from a ‘65 Coronet in an A body?

    Hey FABO, Has anyone used an 8.75 from a ‘65 B-body in their A-body? I found one with an advertised drum-to-drum width of 58-5/8”. From what I understand, A-body rears are 57-1/8”, so this would be 1-1/2” wider (3/4” on each side). Obviously this means I’d need more backspacing than normal. I...

    That rotating engine stand I told you guys about is on sale.

    One of the reviewers tried that, supposedly the base of the stand is still too wide to “nest” the two together. Maybe the best solution is to find a hoist with a wider base? Or like PBR has, a hoist with a longer boom.

    That rotating engine stand I told you guys about is on sale.

    I’ve been wanting a gear driven stand, but after reading the reviews, I might hold out for a different design or at least until I can get a different hoist. As some of the reviewers stated, the “V” design of the legs on both the stand and the HF hoist make it impossible to get an engine close...

    [SOLD] A body driver side exterior door handle

    Selling a driver side exterior door handle for what I believe to be for 67-70 A bodies (correct me if I'm wrong). I bought this for my '68, but I've since found one with the black button like my car came with. There are scratches and scuffs, please inspect the photos carefully. I'll be happy to...
