    Safety of old tires

    59AB - Headers vs stock exhaust manifolds?

    I love the sound of these Fenton cast iron headers and no mufflers, but OMG very hard to get them to fit around steering box. When they get hot they warm up the gear oil!

    buffing or sanding out sgl stage paint

    I painted mine ('36 PU) with single stage urethane, never touched a spray gun in my life! And it looked like crap! Couldn't figure out how to lay down single stage perfect in one sweep, so I just sanded down all the runs, drips, and orange peel, basically the whole truck! and put about 4 coats...
