Newport Engineering makes excellent, easy to install electric wiper motors for old cars. Try them. They may have what you need.

If you're a AAA member, check into their agreed value classic car coverage. I have two vehicles insured with them. The rates are very reasonable and, most importantly, the claim service is excellent.

Most likely, the "idiots" shut down the auto shop class due to lack of interest on the part of the student body. In this day and age the kids know that they can do much better writing code for computer games and other software than they can getting their hands dirty working on automobiles.

Try a pair of race car drivers' shoes. They feel very light on the feet and the soles blend with the uppers and don't protrude out the sides like regular shoes. Summit Racing has a large selection. I wear a size 12 and they work for me........

The "political crowd" is trying to shut it down because they will be the first to be burned at the stake if they don't in the event that things go south. But with thousands mingling together with no PPE in the midst of a lethal pandemic, what on earth could go wrong?

L & M stripped all of my sheet metal including the body in '86. Everything came out assembly-line clean with no warpage or any other potential damage from blasting. Keep in mind that if you do the chem dip, meticulous cleaning must be done afterwards to remove ALL of the residue or, in time...

Bored & Stroked has stated well the words of wisdom which you seek.

if you have sticky rings and valves then Marvel Mystery Oil is your friend. Put a good dose in each cylinder and let that marinate for several days while turning the motor over by hand a couple of times in the interim. I did this with a modern OT motor that had been sitting idle for several...

I remember carrying a supply of axle keys with me in my Buick powered '40 coupe. :)
