" If electric rates fluctuated like they apparently do for NG I'd have wet panties too. "   <strong> Here in CT The United Illuminating Co raised rates 50% for homeowners several years ago and a little more than that for commercial users. And they got away with it, even raising them again a...

Cutting cords/plugs Its a liability issue because we have so many stupid people in the country these days that would buy something vintage with a frayed cord, take it home and plug it in either shock themselves or start a fire in their house. Then proceed to sue the place they bought it from...

Reply #15 Sounds like this guy isnt teasing or making fun of you after all. Sounds like a closet case that has a deep seated desire to make moves on you but is too scared but plays it down by being passive aggressive to you and keeping his feelings and masculinity in check.

Tell your co worker to SUCK IT. I've had to deal with this my whole life. From idiots 40 years ago laughing at me for "playing with trains " regarding my vintage American Flyer collection, to people in my other various hobbies like fans and radios etc and vehicles people have nothing good to...

He said he would have his guys wet/dry vac it out so lets hope he comes through. Im banking on the motor not being the stuck part so I can at least remove the trans belt and pump the water out. If so Ill fill it back up with hot water, pour bleach in it then pump that water out because this will...

I asked my friend if it had a floor drain in the basement he said no. Unless I can get it pump water with just the pump belt on we'll have to hump it outside with the hand truck full of water then drop the drain hose to the ground and let it empty before loading it into my Tacoma. Unless he...

Well he called me tonite to tell me he sold the Mazda carcass and moved it out of the garage so I have lots of room to come get it out now if I want it still. I asked him how soon can I grab it and he said Thursday because tomorrow is gonna rain pretty good. I gotta figure out how to drain that...

Blue paint..... The closest Ive seen to the original shade was 1964 Chevy Impala " Silver Blue " paint. Growing up my dads friend had a 64 4dr hard top in that exact same color. Hope this helps.

Well after a bout of pancreatitis kicked my ass the last 4 weeks I was finally able to go to a friends house this week he just bought to fix up and sell. Saying the old guy was a slob is an understatement. The place is a dirty pig stye. I originally went there to look at some old VW's and a...

As if electric grids arent over burdened already. They should be building more "clean" power plants ahead of all this demand they're now creating, but they wont. So when power goes out you're totally fcked unless you have a HUGE standby generator until they ban those. NO THANKS. I'll take my...

Have you tried Kroil? Its the best stuff on the planet to loosen frozen parts. Also try taking a small wooden block and tapping one of the spokes of the pulley with a hammer to spin it off the shaft

Reply #2 I'll take the 66 Chevelle in back of it lol

Looks like the 1964 A500 I parted out. It was given to me by a friend that let it sit 2 years with water in the tub after it died and wouldnt pump out. It was like new but sadly the spin basket rotted out on the bottom from the standing water all that time. The reason was the start winding burnt...

Will you send it out for plating or is it something you can do yourself with some basic stuff and a Youtube vid?

I wonder if really cleaning those splines down shiny and brushing a thin coat of zinc chromate primer would keep rust and pitting at bay a while?

Reply #16 Most times here in the USA the triggered lot take something that was never ugly and racist in the first place either and spin it to make something the vast population never had a problem with for many decades but suddenly becomes infuriated with. See what happens when you grow without...

Ben is now a second uncle, twice removed ........

Reply #4 No but Guido & Co sure were treated like dirt when they came here, from getting their names destroyed in translation to being treated like trash by the Irish, who loathed all those " dirty guineas ". Trust me I heard lots of stories growing up from the old timers that lived through...

Shipley Ive been trying to get the rear half of an old Toyota Tacoma frame shipped from western NC to CT the past month with no luck. Tried U-Ship and didnt get one response. Went on Shipley and within 6 hours I had 8 of them. Ranging in price from $585.00 to $850.00. I took the cheapest and...
