About 10 years ago we were on a US40 national road tour from Indianapolis to Terre Haute, stopping along the way to visit historical sites and a small town festival. A cute little white haired lady with a big smile on her face came up pulling a tottering old man behind her. She looked over...

I had a simular problem with my fathers 2000 Buick LeSabre. I took in to the dealer after it had cracked intake manifold replaced and was leaking again. They replaced a second manifold underneath the new one. Upon restart the engine knocked and was shut down. They pulled the head and found a...

Watch those burnouts in the 49. About 50 years ago while driving my first 50 Ford I took off from a stop sign in a very brisk way and snapped the left rear axle about 10 inches from the diff. It took me about 2 days to figure how to get the short piece out by using a coat hanger with a loop...

Get the special shapped and threaded mounting plates form Julianos Hot Rod Parts. They are far superior to washers. Just move them around next to the brace and you will see the best place to position them. I have them on my 50, the outside one is over the frame but that is no problem because...

My 50 Ford and even my original 50 bought in 1960 did the same thing. The current 50 has had quality carb, fuel pump and flex hose repair. I use the hair color bottle/air tube fix if the car hasn't been run for over a week, it starts just fine then. Check Sallys Beauty store for the...
