Auto Zone is clearing out all of the old school engine building tools. Some really good prices but it seems once they are gone, its another end of old era.

I can certainly understand the sentimental feeling towards good tools. I was given a lot of older 70s vintage craftsman tools from my adoptive dad. He was never the mechanic type but in those days it seems like everyone had a good tool set because that is just how America was. The days when...

I went to rush to order it .... The devil obviously runs the shipping business.

So i really feel like I once saw a tool available that removed these old style wiper arms with ease. When I Google search it now, I find only the newer style that look like a ball joint remover for the newer style wiper arm with the nut on top. Am I just not seeing them or anyone know of...

Huh ??????

That's exactly why I have mine. when I moved here, I became obsessed with anything American with wheels and I got into the model railroading scene even though I was really out of my normal realm. It was all old guys and me at the model railroad events. LoL I met an older gentleman who kinda...

Maybe he cruised around in my favorite, a PA 1. That would have been 50s and 60s Or if he was a bit younger then a gen 2 alco could have been. You have my imagination going now. :)

I have a plastic one from the 90s so that one being steel has to be old, like maybe as far back as first generation diesel

Looks like it has an OBD 2 plug. Looks like either a scan tool or a performance chip setter upper , maybe both

Pretty much all steel..... splash shields, bolts, engine brackets, bolts, internal engine parts, and bolts. I guess the pistons would be the only aluminum I can think of on these old cars.

So I have a 20 gallon parts washer and a gallon of this magic purple stuff. What's the best way to mix. 10 gallons to a gallon of purple?? Would 10 to 1 be strong enough to clean parts?? How much do you guys dilute and mix?

I once wore big rings, of course not while working on car, but after seeing this I don't think I'm wearing them at all anymore. Earrings are another thing. I used to like really big earrings but now I'm opting for a self decor package delete lol, too much bad stuff happens with jewelry...

I'm brainstorming what other inexpensive tools I should add to have a well rounded tool collection to take on anything.

I do still like the free ohm meters

I'm kinda obsessing over drill bits these days. I used to buy drill bits at harbor freight and they would do OK for awhile and then they would start walking and required you put your weight into them, then start smoking and making weird noises. Then I recieved a set of drill bits for my...

Just replace the gears with the ring and pinion gear from the 8.75 under your duster.

Don't really know what all this smart people talk is all about but now you're making me think I might be able to save lost pictures on a computer that went out in a blaze of glory. Hurts because I had pictures from quite awhile back and cars I used to have. When I graduated high school and...

Depends on what incentive he gives to get under that car on harbor freight stands

I have a couple sets from HF from around 03 or 04, never any issues but the strange thing at the time I bought those, the ones at Sears were identical other than the color and priced almost double

I bought one from harbor freight and it was crooked, I couldn't get it to sit on all four wheels evenly. That and they must have made it for someone well over 6 feet tall. I ended up welding it and got it to sit level and then I cut several inches off the back support arm so now it sets the...

Depends on if you're doing this professionally or DIYer For a shop, where you don't know what's coming through the door next, not all scanners are created equal. There are 7 digit trouble codes now a days, and a better, more expensive scanner can do it all. There are a lot of manufacturer...

.22 caliber projectiles

I have done paint and body in an oversized insulated 2 car garage. I can fit 2 cars in there but to paint I pretty much hafta park the car in the middle. For heat I use a big torpedo heater, I run it until the shop thermometer says 70 degrees which usually is about a 30 to 40 minute run...

I went to an electric DA sander to and a lot of electric tools to make the compressor not needed. The only thing I use the compressor for now is the paint gun and a 110v can keep up with that, if not, it might be a signal the painter has to slow down.

Other than the weight, I've never had any complaints about a Lincoln welder. I think they weigh more than I do

I like the fact that it's light weight. I have a Lincoln and it's so freaking heavy I have to roll it on a cart or get help moving it. I don't even know exactly how much it weighs but I know I can't carry it by the handle on the top. I always wished it was more mobile ( or at least light...

I have all craftsman and I love them. Most of my stuff was bought when I worked at sears and got the employee discount. I started at sears when I was 18 years old in 2004 and the stuff seemed really quality then. My dad gave me his old set from the 70s but I was always biased to the ones I...

The best engine dolly is on the k frame, in the engine compartment, under a hood.....preferably with the car turn key:poke: Just kidding with all that. Now you have me thinking, I might have to build something similar. Where is the post by @moparmat2000 that got you thinking??
