I hope it was a good one for you, Red!

Two thoughts: 1) Did that bolt go through the top band of the grille to hold it up? 2) Are you going to modify the headlight doors to match the center honeycomb pattern? The doors have the vertical ribs like the rest of the stock grille does. To make this look right, I'm guessing you plan to...

I'm learning a bit with each car. I like learning new things. If I am doing it wrong, I'd want to know so I can learn to do it right. The whole thing has me wondering where the majority of the differences come from. I could take my car in for another alignment and see what numbers they come up...

A slight departure.... The experiences I had with the difference in numbers I got from the alignment shop versus the numbers that I measured with the DIY stuff has me curious. My initial thoughts regarding the shop guy told me one set of numbers and I arrived at a different set: Why? Was it...

We never got paid on rain days. We were only paid for the hours that we worked. I was ok with that.

Out here on the LEFT coast, we have weather issues too. Snow is not a concern but it can get down into the 20s overnight sometimes. You dudes in the snow belt may laugh at that and that is fine. It is a matter of what you're used to dealing with. I used to work outside in all conditions but we...

The motor mounts can stay attached. I've knocked the center link down to gain access. The nuts for the idler and Pitman arms are removed and the center link is lowered a bit. Being a "stroker" didn't change the procedure.

SOME customers are idiots. SOME expect perfection but grossly undervalue the cost of getting there. I have dealt with some people that are impossible to please and some that are very forgiving. The happy customers don't make as much noise as the idiot that thinks that he was cheated.

Those aren't memes, man. THIS is though....

The majority of us members do not have the skills nor the space to bring a wreck back to this point. When you have the skills, you make the hard work look easy to the rest of us. One thing that truly determines the success of a job is the confidence, skill and experience of the person doing the...

GET OFF OF THE CAR!

This stuff.... Smells SO good! I ran some in this car 11 years ago: I was trying different octane fuels to see what was needed to stop the detonation. I installed an air fuel gauge with an oxygen sensor so I had to use the rest of my leaded gas somewhere.... So I used it up in my lawn...

If I'm a Father, it is without my knowing. I played a bit with the females back in my single days yet nobody sends me any greeting cards or subpoenas.

I went with the Dr Diff booster, though I suspect that he just buys them through the same manufacturer as Pirate Jack. Dual diaphragm, low gloss black in color. I've installed 2 of them, both cars brake quite well now.
