Has anybody seen or heard of running boards being coated with the substance used to coat pickup trucks bedliners? Would it work?

Was out for a summer drive in 86 degree heat, windshield open and cowl vent open and the car running great. Stopped for some ice cream and as usual some of the people at the ice cream stand came over and gave the car the once over. One couple seemed quite interested in the car and seemed to be...

Most of the interest shown in the registration of vehicles bought in NYS is that they collect their fair share of the sales tax when a dealership is not involved. I have been told by owners who have had private sales, that the cost of a vehicle sold in a private transaction is different than...

Just received the Diode Cutout for my 1935 generator. How should the wire from the generator be attached to the diode. There is just a U shaped with no hole for a hookup to the generator wire.

In 1963 I bought a 1948 Plymouth Business Coupe for $75.00. Had it for for 3 years on the road then put it up on blocks in 1966 when I bought my 1965 Mustang. When I went to Vietnam in 1969 my mother and father sold both cars while I was away. What were they thinking?????

At the end of my semi-annual garage clean out-6 rolls of duct tape and have located all but one socket thats been missing ssince the fall. Hard to figure how you can lose 6 rolls of duct tape in a 24X32 garage.

use a cheap set of radios if you are only going to talk car to car.
