Hey Paw, I used up all the spare parts in the shed. Can we start collecting more parts for our next project? Huh? Can we? I really like the cover over the 'rumble' seat. Wonder if those great hinges will withstand any speed over 5mph?

Not pushing hard enough to get it back in? Have you tried pushing the button while pushing the knob back in?

SOLD 1963/64 Galaxie XL door courtesy lights. SOLD SOLD. I've had this pair of 63 Galaxie XL door courtesy lights for years, and I'm cleaning out the shop of unused items. They are both in great condition and work as they should. One white lens is loose and will have to be re-staked in or...

Thank you.

I'm cleaning some shelves in the shop and found this folding lug wrench, which I think might be from a Mustang? I blasted it to see if there were any numbers on it, and all there is is 6HZ. It measures 13/16", but I'd like to be sure what it fits. Thanks.

It amazes me that he could find what was original to THAT car, not having another to look and see what it had. Thanks for posting that.

^^Yes, it is enough to piss you off.^^ I'd never put it together that way and hope that it's okay. You will ALWAYS be thinking "is it going to hold?" When I was into VW's in the 70's, I had all my heads done by a local shop. I took four pair of heads to be done, they did a great job. My...

In the early 2000's I had all the chrome redone on a 41 Pontiac, everything. It cost me right around $1500 from a semi-local shop. Fast forward to earlier this year, I called the same shop and asked about rechroming two Corvair bumpers. $900...EACH. Small bumpers. I bought repro's for around...

Check with auto parts stores that loan tools, they might have valve spring compressors.

tobby...DAY TRIP!

Last December, I drove 5 hours one way to buy an off topic car that was in the 'sanding for new paint' condition. He wanted $4500 for it, and I didn't quibble about the long drive and renting a trailer. When I got there, he noted that he didn't mention the rust hole in the drivers' floor, and...
