Pool noodle uses for car and shop

Fun with pool noodles!

If you are over 5' tall, you've probably almost scalped yourself on the hood safety catch.

A hunk of pool noodle does the trick...

And storage is easy... I just toss it in front of the radiator so it's always there when I need it. This one has been riding around in there for a few years now.

Another great one from Big_John

Another pool noodle on my ancient floor jack. Keeps the handle from banging the car. Note red lug nut holder.

They work good for protecting your car from hail damage.

I did cut them up to use on my jack stand to protect my new S60 when I installed it.

He's posting all kinds of vintage pictures in a couple/few threads. "Sounds" like he is doing well.

I would definitely like to meet him some day. No doubt he's a cool cat!

Met him at Carlisle in '19. Very cool cat.

A tennis ball with a small slice fits over a hood latch nicely to de fang the hood latch.

Same here. Recycled tennis ball that Zeke popped. Keep it by the upper tie bar.

That's not an Impaler.....that looks like a Cornet to me.

Big fan of the tennis ball here too. Have them on all the Mopars.
People always ask what it's for and I tell them, hit your head on that f@cking thing enough times and you'll understand.
