......it looks like we're going to the re-set they thought was coming awhile back. Could be a rough ride for some - if not most on both sides of the border. Better increase the garden footprint this spring.

I've wanted a louver press for a long time now. Unfortunately the price of the dies is way out of reach for me to just to have around. I built a press break a few years back, so I have the squishing means to do it. Just needed to figure out a cheap way of making dies. To the scrap pile for an old leaf spring, a left...
I used three pieces of 3/4" plywood for both 'wheels' and once I achieved a basic pulley shape to accomodate the tube, I added two piecees (per wheel) of steel to brace the wood and bolted them on the top and bottom. Next I'll add the base and larger center bolts and a lever and a few small brackets to hold...
In this video - https://www.youtube.com/live/syQnpbjzboU - the gentleman uses a 100 amp circuit breaker in wiring his ride. But I have a friend who has various degrees in electrical stuff and teaches electrical stuff and he says that a 100 amp breaker would be incorrect for that car. My friend say...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrwzC1_asQY I just learned about harness lacing from the net. So tidy and easy. I hope this helps anyone else who didn't know about it. I just practiced with some string. I started with a constrictor knot like they use in aircraft lacing and in surgery and then j...
I know i haven,t been on here for quite some time but life has its priorities so i would like to take this oportunity to wish all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
A handy pocket tool - a pen combined with a level, and marked in inches and milimeters and a screw driver. Just thought someone might find the idea a handy one to have. My wife found it at The Barn. -- Edited by Cuddles on Wednesday 25th of December 2024 09:28:34 AM
MERRY CHRISTMAS to all here ! And I hope everyone finds the parts they so desperately need resting neatly beside their stocking (because BIG parts don't fit in a stocking) !
I just noticed that Princess Auto is carrying Cleco tools and fasteners. I don’t know if this is something new but I don’t recall our local store having them before. They’re in the welding department and they have the tool and fastener sets in 1/8 and 3/16 inch, the tool alone, 1/8 & 3/16 fastener...
It is taking me a few years but that's ok. Progress is slow but it's progress. I tried making my header pipes with a pipe bender. You would think, pipe bender for pipes, right ? Nope. But I learned from it. Now I am making a tube bender - from wood. Sounds bizare to me but it might just work. I cut 3 piece...
I think the idea for wiring in the engine area is to keep the wires as discreet as possible. Am I correct ? So if invisible is the goal, I am unsure where to run my coil wire on a 289. I have run my harness down the passenger side but with my coil on the driver side, it presnts a problem. I could run the wire be...

Have had no luck finding a decent Torino so onto the next choice I am looking for a decent driver/project or finished driver Crown Vic, if anyone knows of one for sale. If a project - at least rolling and complete with ALL trim inside and out present and accounted for. Not interested in a 55 unless it is...
So I just spent the best morning with my son and my 2 friends. We prowled Jacksons yard in Kendal for most of the morning. It was so worth playing hooky from work. If you have not been to this yard it sucks to be you because it is acres and acres of very rusty relics from the 30s to the 60s. There are latterly row...

Does it matter if the grease is thin or thick on a speedometer cable ? I have some WD 40 white grease but it is really thin. I also have an old tube of thick grease I use for my grease nipples. Should I buy something different ? The cable is in and spins but I forgot to grease it before going any distance. I n...
Thanks for pulling me out of the shop today Jim to go meet my old buddy Warren finally today, lol.. We probably have been conversing and bouncing ideas for a decade now, it was due time to meet face to face once and for all. You sure have a great place to enjoy your lifestyle too Warren, cannot wait to get to...
It might be a Fulton sun shade, I don't know but I finally got it mounted after making the side and center brackets and buying the small center clips. After all the work of restoring and mounting it, not sure I like it but I'll leave it for a while and see if it suits the truck. -- Edited by Cuddles on Sunday...
If anyone can make use of 4 Chrome Jeep rims with center caps I could sure use a box with Coors light written on the side? Pick up is in Pickering. The chrome is fair and I don't see any nasty bends in them.
I am getting a bit of flak lately about getting grease and oil on my clothes thaat I am told doesn't come out. I guess the monkey suit would work but at my age, when I have to pee, I HAVE to pee. I can't see me getting out of that outfit in time. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thank you
I find that the cruise nights aren't quite as exciting to me anymore. I even leave the shows early now. It is nice to meet with people and meet new people but a lot of time at the shows is just sitting when I could be driving on a beautiful summer day. So with that in mind, if there are any groups out there or in...
I had my ride up on blocks for most of this summer with a full tank of regular gas. What should I do to ensure the carbs stay clean over winter ? Still up on blocks for a few more weeks I think. -- Edited by Cuddles on Tuesday 15th of October 2024 06:21:44 PM
A local rodder passed away recently and I’m helping his wife deal with some of his stuff.She has some brand new QA1 springs, still in their plastic bags and in the original boxes. There are six springs in total, two of each part number.They’re $75 USD from QA1 but the Canadian prices range from $120 to...
I think the last show of the season (around here anyway) is in Keene on the 19th of Oktober. And according to those who know, it gets more cars every year.
I am in the market for a running driving 70-71 Torino GT fastback car - not the formal roof type Preference to a stick car, and wish list would be hide away headlights. Dont care what motor is in it. Must be as close to rust free as possible as I am not looking for a long term project. If it needs paint or mech...
I recently installed a Princess Auto universal gas gauge at the advice of a very knowledgable friend. I planned to use it until I got my 42 gauge fixed (when funds permit). So I mounted the new gauge, grounded it and for power, I attached it to the power side of the original gauge because I figured power is...
On my 29 model A, the pass door never shut right and was hard to open, especially from inside. I finally had the time to look at why and discovered the hinge had been welded on to cover up bad, rusted out metal and the welds bulged enough to stop the door from shutting correctly so I cut the hinge off, rest...
Hey I know I'm a little late in the season, but is it just me or is there an increase in outdoor car shows charging a fee to us car owners to show our cars, with the spectators getting in for free. Please don't get me wrong, I know there is a lot that goes into them. Insurance, advertising, staff, etc. Howev...
No, it isn't just a rumour. Chris came by my place one day and got to looking over my ride and made some wonderful suggestions, among them, how to fix my door window issue. My dash isn't from a model A so I could never open or close my door windows unless I opened the doors first. The dash was too close to the...
Hey All . Was talking to a guy on weekend . He has two cars that he was thinking to sell at Hershey PA . Has anyone here sold a car at Hershey . Is it a hassle or a realistic option ? Second question . For example an older FED style dragster that has no paperwork , ownership . How do you get that across border to...
Just putting this out there. Does anyone know of a place/venue where dirt/grass drags could be held? This would primarily be bangers and flatheads. The track needs to be 1/8th mile in length (660') and have space for camping, parking, spectating and possible vendors. Accessibility to local ac...
