    Radiator heater hose clamps

    Actually they work well, sometimes you have to hold the clamp square with long nose plies while pulling the clamp open. A little false advertisement here by performance tool. Every brand I have ever bought the cable stretches and you run out of adjustment after doing big band clamps. I cut slots...

    Driprail Dilemma

    I would send them back to him and tell him to fix them. Was it a vinyl top car to begin with? Vinyl moldings are wider than non vinyl, and will not hook tightly.

    Any ideas how to fix a busted 73 grill......

    The only way I have had success with grills is to plastic weld abs plastic back in to the missing area, and finish with bondo. You can buy the welder at harbor freight, basically a soldering iron, and abs plastic in sheets or rods on ebag. You can heat pieces of wire and screen for...
