A year or so ago, the wife bought a 2000 Cavalier (nice little crapbox she can leave in the GoTrain parking lot). It has less than 80,000 km's on it (literally a little old lady used to own it). I just changed a bad front wheel bearing on it (the one that came out was loose and grindy). I go for a test drive an...

Well this is my 32 Ford 5-window which was originally hotrodded by my dads cousin back in 1955 in Fort Erie. I have now owned it since 1992. When I first redid the car I had sold the Flathead and put a 283 Chevy motor in it and ran it in grey primer until 2004 when it was taken off the road for a rrar wishbone fail...

Has anyone ever made their own sound deadener?? I've done a little web search and apparently this stuff is easy to make, just thought I would ask if anyone here has tried and if it worked out as expected or advertised? Angelo
I have call display , thankfully , but have noticed a lot of out of town calls the last couple of months . If I do bother to answer it's some airline pushing a vacation plan , the usual " duck cleaners " from some Easter country , some survey which could be a front for a product , robot calls etc etc...

Ok, I figured it's about time I started post for my 1959 Edsel Ranger 2 door HT. I guess I'll start from the beginning . I've always loved Edsel's since I was a kid. The first one I ever saw was in a museum. Anyways, back in march 2013 I found one. total wreck, but for what it was, it is worth fixing up to me. I got...
i sold my bel air a few months ago and I saw this forsale for a good price so I picked it up. 305 with a three speed auto, fuel pump was bad so I changed it, I think the carb needs a cleaning. needs a drivers side floor as well
i don't know if the whole fender is salvageable as i think some metal is stretched. i was very fortunate to find a nice southern replacement and didn't need to try and use it. this has no rust issues at all and would make a great patch panel donor. 50.00 or something wall art OR a large case of beer.
