    matching numbers?

    "Numbers Matching" is a phrase that has become so generic, you need to make sure that it means what you think. If you really mean numbers matching, this only applies to cars built in the 68 model year or newer. That is when the manufacturers started stamping at least a partial VIN in big ticket...

    AirLine Moisture - How to Remove?

    I am using the black pipe as well. I was originally thinking about using galvanized, but a good friend of mine who is in the propane business told me that they have run into issues where the system has been plugged up by little chunks breaking off and boogering up the valves/regulators. I...

    AirLine Moisture - How to Remove?

    oneway, You are on the right track here. As someone else said earlier, the water in the air is in vapor form when it leaves the compressor and filters will not take out the vapor. You will need at least 25' of metal line between the compressor and the hose connection for the vapor to condense...

    Welders

    'Tramp, First, the disclaimer....I'm no expert! But from what I have been able to research and apply, you will want to favor the arc toward the overlapping piece. The total thickness of the joint is under the overlap and will be able to sink the heat away better than the single layer of...

    Gas wont work with MIG welder

    As has been stated earlier, you will likely need to have the power to your welder turned on in order for the gas solenoid to work. You should be able to hear it or feel it against some sensitive skin (like a cheek). I think that you should go back and retrace your steps first to ensure that you...

    sandblasters and cabinets

    The quick answer is, it depends. Cabinets are great because they contain the mess and are easy to use, but.......... the parts that you can clean up are limited by the working size of the cabinet. The parts that you can effectively clean up are really much smaller than the cabinet because you...

    Frustration

    Frustration can come from a number of sources. Do you have a schedule or milestone that you have come to realize that you can't meet? If so, revise the schedule. These projects often take a lot more time that anyone would figure, unless you do this kind of work often. I think that it also...

    Trailer Winch Suggestions

    Demon, I bought a Warn 3500# (I think) 5 years ago when I got my enclosed trailer. I pretty much need to use it to load and unload the cars. I got it through Summit and I think it may have been about $300 at that time. It also has a 25' remote control. It has served me well with all three cars...

    27 Years...And Now It's Gone

    OCDART, I have a 65 Olds 4-4-2 that was my first car. Bought it the beginning of my senior year in high school. This past Sept marks the 40th year of ownership. Even my wife understands that she would be gone before that car would. Sorry for your loss, but as you said, it sounds like its going...

    what do you do for a living?

    I officiate youth ice hockey to finance my car habit. This my 19th (I think) season. Keeps me busy over the winter so I don't turn into a couch potatoe. L8r Jim

    What do you think? Best outside car storage for this winter

    Tarp on the ground won't hurt. Put it on jack stands off the ground. As others have already said, no tarp over it. use a breathable car cover that has a soft under layer. The wind working on the cover can buff through the paint given enough time. It wouldn't hurt to protect the hard edges where...

    So what got you into A Bodies?

    I was fortunate to be in high school during the muscle car wars. Even before I had my license, I was always on the lookout for them prowling the streets. I really liked the more compact looks of the fastback fish and the Swingers. The big block GTS' were just plain bad azz! I used to while away...

    stearing and crossmember help

    You didn't mention it and maybe you already know this, but the steering columns between the power steering and manual steering set ups are different. One is definitely longer than the other, but can't remember off the top of my head which is which.
