The old man sat in his gas station on a cold Christmas Eve. He hadn't been anywhere in years since his wife had passed away. It was just another day to him. He didn't hate Christmas, just couldn't find a reason to celebrate. He was sitting there looking at the snow that had been falling for the last hour an...

The message came on after I lent the truck to pull a horse trailer. I checked the fuse under the hood and even changed it but still have warning. Any other ideas. ?? Please only constructive comments please.
I've got most of the rust cut out of my floors in my truck, but as I get further into it the rocker and cab mount look like they need to be repaired also(drivers side). The passenger side is a lot better. I can't weld sheet metal to save my life (at least not yet anyway). I have the rockers for it thanks to Ziggy...

I have a little lincoln wire feed welder that is going in the scrap pile. It's probably the smallest they make. No argon set up but I think you might be able to add it. It took a hit from a forklift once but had it repaired by lincoln. Might be good for someone who just wants to mess around a bit.

Early yesterday morning (Sat.), I set out for a trip to Wainfleet/Port Colborne from Kitchener. It's a two hour drive on a good day, the conditions weren't, to say the least, anywhere near favorable. But I decided to make the trip anyways, it was my last opportunity to see my sister in law before she goe...

I learned this morning that Gary Seaton passed away early today, street rod builder from the area, tool and die maker by trade and long time friend to many in Eastern Ontario. Another of the great ones taken too soon.
I got tired of trying to coil up my pressure washer hose after use. So I bought a hose reel. Problem is, it didn't come with a leader hose. Now I can't find anything shorter than 25' when I only need about a 6 to 8 foot length. I don't want to cut down on the pressure by adding another long length. I will alread...
Thanks to shag766 (rick) I now have all the brackets to mount my PS Pump and Alternator. There was an ad on kijiji out in the Trenton area, he stepped up and purchased the parts for me and delivered them. For a miniscule fee of a dozen beer. Thank You rick for doing this for me. Your one stand up guy. Next ti...
I bought this about four years ago and basically put it away in storage soon after (no interest from my two girls). I laid it up as per the Arctic Cat manual, you know drain the tank, run the bowl dry while shooting with lubricating film, pull plug and throw some oil down the cylinder and give it a doze...
So I was heading in to town today, got to the end of my road, stop, looked both ways and saw this heading to town. When I think of a winter beater this isn't what I think of. 1968 AMC AMX. I saw this car around a lot this summer. Never got to walk around it but it looks good driving by. Anyone else seen someone dr...

I hope this puts a permanent end to this political party here before they completely destroy this province. That and our energy bill increase should drive the rest of our industry away and put us pensioners in the poor house. We've gone from the most prosperous province to one of the worst in the count...

Ok guys, I just bought this today. Problem is, I have no idea what it is It's on a Ford frame, and it's a bit of a frankenstein, but I like it. I'll be rat rodding it, so not too bothered about originality. However, I will be needing ownership papers for it, so it would be nice to try and match it up to somethin...
I'm looking for the style of cutter shown in the photo. I have the "Blair" style but these guys do a WAY nicer job. Unfortunately they do wear out.
