they should have said they did it on purpose so people would pay attention to it

driving down the road 20 or 30 mph, turn your wheel back and forth, like race cars warming their tires. A bearing that is going bad will often cause a detectable noise. Also, the seals will start to leak as the axle moves around because the bearing is loose. Might as well change the bearings...

If you end up gambling, I get 100 mile towing, flat repair, etc, added to my car insurance for $10 per year. That would be 1/2 of your trip.

1 inch square tubing is not exactly cheap anymore, but for the relatively minor cost and effort, why risk it?

Here is a good read. It details how The Sisters go into a country, dump cheap food until nobody can afford to be a farmer and get out of it, then they hike food prices until they are 50% of income. Why would they do it only with food?

Great start with seat belt and the Charger burning out. Kern, have you seen it in a theater? It was stomach churning looking out the front windshield as the cars flew through the air. In the theater, it feels like you are in the cars and doing the brain float. Though in the end, I found it...

I have access to a friend's parts boxes that go to his project. I also have parts similar to yours that I am going to put in his boxes hoping I'm there when he pulls one out and wonders what the hell it is. Thank you for your question.

This is PPG acrylic enamel with a catalyst. Color: FLAME RED, IH light line trucks. 10 years old and still buffs out nicely (every year)

They don't have to be. My shade tree understanding is: the catalyst is a drier that cures the paint quickly making the car useable immediately. Without it, the paint is soft at first, but is stronger as time goes by. I may be related way back, but hell no, my name is not Dupont. In this age...

They come from the catalyst?

On coverage: My friends and I would buy cars in need of something, fix it, and sell. Making a profit was elusive and I vowed to show it could be done if one watched spending. I bought a van from a local roofing company. They paint all their rigs red and I painted it white with tractor enamel...

9" aluminum it fits far inside

Paint your Z with this implement paint. It's made by Sherwin Williams. I painted this car with it and 30 years later, it still buffs out. It needs buffing every year, but I put it on thick so I haven't burned through yet. I used automotive reducer, but no catalyst, though they sell both with...

The easiest test is to see if the rear cap bearing is magnetic when running. It won't tell you anything except if it is making power or not, but it's a good first step in troubleshooting. Be careful, don't short any posts

I worked in a starter alternator rebuild factory and pulled many a pulley. They had a hydraulic set up and pulleys gave no resistance. They didn't care if it cracked or broke a case but for us, some people have to think about date correct cases

Last I knew you could get a rebuild kit that had front and rear bearings, brushes, and the rectifier or whatever it's called. Might depend on the vintage what parts come in the kit

How long can a motor be run safely with no coolant in it?

You can do a compression test to look for dead cylinders. To start it as a redneck like me might, find a good fire extinguisher, put a short length of hose on the fuel pump and put a coffee can for gas under it. two tablespoons of gas down the carb, jumper wire on the coil, then jump it at the...

I bought a paste in the Old Keystone rock shop, a paste whose name escapes me at the moment, but it's the lapidary paste the window repair kits have in them; $3 per ounce. I polished on an unavailable front windshield of an English car. Harsh wiper marks about 6 inches long, but no scratches...
