    Modern cyclecars?

    Back when I was in HS (graduated in 74, to give an idea of when that was) a friend of mine & his brother put together a go-cart with, as I recall, an 8 horse engine. We ran it up and down the highway that passed in front of their house - I think that it might have been US 75 way back before I...

    SAFETY FIRST FELLA'S !!!GRAFFIC PICTURES!!!

    I used to have access to a stationary electric hack saw, but after my father-in-law passed away my brother-in-law has been selling off all of his stuff. I realize that you cannot always get the part in the right position for cutting with one of those, but it sure was nice to be able to cut stuff...

    If you have an outside clean-out, it would run out there. Maybe not a bad idea for some situations. Also, the hot air from the A/C might evaporate at least some of the water. Another Hyvac guy told me it wasn't a good idea, but when we got central air installed in our house, they just drilled...

    Favorite junkyard air conditioner?

    Interested in what you find. I saved the rear unit out of the 93 Chrysler Town & Country I scrapped out, but later had to ditch it, due to storage space issues. Never tried it out.... (Only saved the heater core.)

    News about Torchie

    It's hard to believe that it's been nearly a year and a half now since Torchie passed away. Sure do miss his posts.

    The pedestrians in that video remind me of Brazil. Cross at your own peril.

    Junk parts everywhere...

    Antique tractor repair shops? I'm in the middle of the largest Amish community in the States, and I know of a number of machine shops that repair old engines, especially the old hit & miss engines. I saw one huge hit & miss engine at one of these shops a year or so back - so big it was one...

    For Sale 48 Plymouth business coupe looks like an old dirt track car)

    Seeing the pictures, I would have just thought it was a first series 49 P15. (I have a 2-door sedan P15 that is a 49.)

    For Sale 48 Plymouth business coupe looks like an old dirt track car)

    Did you build it? If so, just wondering if the unused original parts are still around, or long gone. (I have a 46 Sedan, and I'm missing the shift lever and some other parts of the steering column. Also missing the hand brake mechanism - the part that mounts on the left kick panel.)

    So while you wait for parts what do you do???

    No one has said it yet - "Honey-Do" projects.... There are also plenty of those waiting to be done. ("I'll do it - You don't have to remind me every Spring." I hope I'm not that bad....)

    Minimum brake caliper clearance to wheels?

    Running 17" alloys on winter tires (Blizzaks - at my wife's insistence - it's "her car" anyway) on our 2019 Honda CR-V that came with 18s. I wanted steel wheels for the winter set, but apparently this model didn't have an option for steelies, and I couldn't find any after-market wheels that...

    just got this will make a nice rat rod

    My first plea would be to "un-Christine" it. That movie is the worst thing that ever happened to a Plymouth. (Just my opinion, of course. They don't ALL have to be RED!)

    just some fun pix

    When I was a kid back in Oklahoma, we often saw houses going down the road. Always had a guy riding on top, with a pole to push up the power lines. But I don't think I ever saw a two story one going through. Common house style was 'ranch' (single level). You want to leave room over the top...
