This sucker's got bucket seats with a console sporting a tach! It keeps gettin' gooder 'n gooder!!

Mom owned a '69 GS, and it made me partial to old Buicks. Exceptional score there!

Had a '59 Imperial. The guy I bought it from pulled it from a barn it was sitting in since 1978. He had the engine and transmission rebuilt, radiator & heater core recored, and a few other things. Had shoulder surgery & couldn't take it any farther. I bought it. I installed said engine &...

...And either a tan or brown interior to accent the green/gold exterior:

Darker green with gold accent stripes for the exterior:

I love that brown interior. I'm a fan of the dark green. There was a '72 RR with a gold rear strobe stripe I fell in love with. The gold would accent the brown interior nicely.

Sounds like Ford resurrected Honda's CVCC concept from the '70s. The pre-chamber was fed a 13:1 AFR while the main chamber inhaled 18:1. The burning pre-charge infiltrated the main chamber like a blow torch. I love that design. They were able to meet EPA emissions for several years without a...

Would it be "FJO", "FCJO", "FXJO", "FAMCO", "FWO" or other? <Translation> For Jeeps Only, For CJ's Only, For XJ's (Cherokees) Only, For AMC's Only, For Willies Only? </Translation>

Trading my rusted '95 ZJ for a much cleaner '95. Swapping better parts from the white one to the red one.

Here is my uncle's '71 GTX from around 1976.

My uncle passed not long ago. I wonder what happened to his massive stash, as it was mostly 70's stuff. Probably got tossed.

The values you used are way out of whack! Please don't take that as an attack, some folks are awesome at HVAC while others are financial wizards. We have that special arena where we love to play. In electronics, there are a couple of "Ohm's Laws" that allow simple math to calculate various...

Instead of vinegar, try auto trans fluid, or even WD-40.

With a 3 volt rating, put 4 in series. This will give you 3 volts per LED with a supply voltage of 12 volts. For 20 ma, just use a 720 ohm resistor per 4-string. In the old days, the common resistor value jumped from 680 to 820 ohms. These days you can get resistors of just about any value...

Sadly, I think the whole concept of a print magazines (pick your genre) is endangered. The internet has made it easy to see up-to-the-minuite blow-by-blow project progress through forums & facebook. By the time you get the magazine, it's merely a 2-4 page synopsis of what you followed for over...
