Finally got the 4 post lift I picked up last December cleaned, repaired, modified and assembled last week and it's going up/down! But I still need some ramps and to fabricate the safety lock release mechanism system, would appreciate some pics of the release mechanisms on your lifts to draw...

I'm a commercial fuel hauler and work nights...was doing a delivery the other night and around midnight I hear a vintage V8 coming in behind me...usually it's a pickup or some other Fjord or Chibbie so I turn around and I'm shocked to see it's a 69 Coronet 500, with a 318/auto, 2dr in B5 blue...

Finally got my reseal kits for my brake calipers on my Coronet. Got the calipers off the car and pulled apart and have been cleaning them and noticed that the pistons have some pitting and corrosion where the seals will sit and I feel that this will allow some seepage to happen past the seals...

Well time to get started on the history of my car, I'll be going back a couple years and explain how I ended up with the coronet. So it was around 1990 and I had just got my driver license and my brother was working a Ford Dealership called William Clark Ford. I was looking to buy an old car...

Got the coronet into the shop yesterday and up on the lift to check things out...turns out I not only have a leaky master cylinder but the pass side 4 piston brake caliper is leaking fluid as well. I've been searching high and low since yesterday and can't find anyone who has the Centric...

I'm a huge fan of steel rims and dog dish caps, but not sure yet if I'm going to go this route on my 68 Coronet 500 convertible but would like to have a set of 4 stainless steel 9" dog dish caps if I do decide that is the look I want. Looking for nice clean driver quality with no major dents or...

Turns out the M/C on the coronet is toast after sitting the last 20 years....Car has the 4 piston Bendix disc brakes. Found a new M/C from Mancini and Year one doesn't have any rebuild kits in stock, and I can't seem to find a dorman kit. Anyone have a source for a kit, or number(s) for one...

Well I finally got my 2 post lift installed in the shop...well that was about a month ago now! ;) It's a 9000lbs off shore unit but I only paid $1100 for it I think...that was almost 5 years ago now. Bought it before I even built the shop and was tarped up outside for several years, then once...

This is the one car I restored with virtually no expense spared. I sold it back around 2000/2001 when we had one young child and second on the way, so the car reluctantly went up for sale to pay off dept so we could afford our first home. Fast forward to around March 2020 when I was...

Back in the mid 90's I was restoring a 68 Coronet 500 convertible 383/4bbl, 4spd and loaded with options...car was rusty and was my first restoration, needless to say I quickly discovered that metal work and paint are astronomically expensive when paying someone by the hour to do it! When I...

Still on the hunt for a 1971 Superbee, no clones of tribute cars, only interested in a true WM23 Vin car. Now the specifics as this is my dream car... I'm looking for a car in GF7 green, this is my preferred color but might consider a car that was originally built in this colour but has been...

Well I've been searching for a 71 Superbee in F7 green and finally found one I am serious about purchasing. I would like to get an independent 3rd party to check the car out for me before I finalize the deal. Looking for someone in the Mobile Alabama area, either a long time member from FBBO...

So I've decided since I'm looking for my dream car I'm going to be a bit more picky about what I'm willing to purchase. My dream car is a 1971 Superbee in GF7 Dark Green Metallic, 383 or 340, other options are not too important. Car must have a clear title in sellers hand, WM23 VIN and...

Looking for a 71 Superbee, must be a WM23 VIN. Looking for a mostly rust free and complete project car, clean daily driver or maybe older resto showing it's age, or perhaps a nicely restored car. Options I would love on the car are a N96 Ramcharger hood, head away headlights, or Elastomeric...

Scavenged an old gun safe, it's about 10" deep, 21" wide by 56" tall, nice heavy duty metal but I can't think of what to use it for....add more shelves for storage, or cut it down and make it into something more useful? Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated.

Saw this on the shelf and knew I had to have it...knew it was a 46-48 Chrysler Town and Country, but WHAT is it?

I recently scavenged an old barrel drum Black and Decker shop vac from the waste transfer station, from what I could find online these were manufactured around the mid 60's? The removable wheeled base had one wheel basically broken off...few holes and some zip ties and it's pretty strong now...

Was near the thrift store today so as always had to run in and see what treasures they might have. Well today was a very good day... Millers Falls Tools 3/8 electric drill, model 414. Works fine except the trigger is stuck on. Paid $15 Cdn for it!:bananadance: Now I have not been able...

I picked up an old Craftsman radial arm saw for free a while back, had been left out in the elements for a number of years. I have been working on getting everything cleaned up and working as it should and have only one area I can not get working again. It's the arms left and right movement...

Was cutting some metal with the old Dewalt and a cut-off wheel, the blade caught and sent the grinder across the shop floor, smashing and banging along the way. Smashed the blade up so went to spin it off but the blade lock would no longer work, and now there is a bunch of resistance and a...
