Just venting here, body work all done and cab and bed in primer. Had the cab on low saw horses tipped forward on some blocks and a milk crate so I could paint the bottom, which I did, looked like a good time to take the doors off, pushed on the screwdriver and the milk crate collapsed and the...

I am starting to fit the doors on the '31 CCPU, I noticed that two of the hinges on the pass side (which had a broken check strap) and one on the drivers side have a slight bend to them, before I go shimming everything should I take the doors back off and straighten the hinges?

Hi, I’m restoring a ’31 CCPU. I have removed (pried/cut) the box sides off of the sub frame. Everything has been straightened and blocked, now ready to rivet everything back together. Where the bottom curve of the sides meets the sub frame and cannot be seen is primer sealer good enough or coat...

How would you get paint off of a '30 A vacuum wiper motor? I assume that it is bake-alight and I have not had much experience with that.

I'm in the process of straightening the spoke wheels on the '31 using the guide from Durable performance, thanks for the guide, and it does work and is not rocket science. Instead of using a wrench or hammer handle as a gauge I am using a magnetic dial indicator off of the frame. I am shooting...
