    Curious for Opinions Here - What Percentage of Project Cars Actually Get Completed?

    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 &...

    Ford Patents Potential ICE-Saving Technology

    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...

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

    Mopar Action gone again?

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

    Mopar Action gone again?

    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...

    The Meme not a Meme Thread Part DEUX

    Remember the Metric measurement of length (the meter) was established based on the diameter of the Earth. Though the location of the Pyramids may take into account the speed of light, it has been suggested they sit dead center of all the above-water land mass on Planet Earth.

    Have any of you ever opened a car shop or resto shop from scratch?

    You could specialize in ~20 year old vehicles with bad engines, rebuild the engines, and sell them for a profit. Same for bad transmissions and other common failures. You could specialize in collision damaged vehicles, where you repair body damage. If you decide to do something like that...

    PLUG Power Inc?? Hydrogen Co....

    Wow!! What a volatile subject! First, there are 2 common methods of producing hydrogen; from natural gas, and electrolysis of water. Using NG produces a hydrogen gas polluted with carbon elements. The carbon contaminates the membranes of hydrogen -- electric fuel cells -- reducing performance...

    Adding a 220V circuit into a building for air compressor and car lift.

    I'm not going to search the internet for pics, but in your breaker panel you have 2 bus bars; L1 & L2. Normal 120 VAC breakers tap one or the other. They occupy one space in the breaker panel. 220 VAC breakers take up 2X the space, tapping both bars. In other words, 120 VAC connects a Source...

    Have any of you ever opened a car shop or resto shop from scratch?

    I ran a small 1-man speed shop for a few years starting in around 2003. I did work on the side while working my day job for a year and a half. When I quit my day job, I had jobs lined up, had started to make a name for myself, and a plan to use the extra time to drum up more business...

    SKUNK

    I also heard that skunks are less likely to be rabid than raccoons because they have a defense mechanism that will deter even another rabid animal.

    SKUNK

    In high school, my scout leader had a pet skunk that had been de-bagged. Years later, my brother had one. When my wife & I first got married (1994), instead of going into massive debt buying a house, we bought an old '72 Dodge chassis Class A motor home and lived out of it for the 1st year and...

    UPS is even worse. UPS union is pending a strike, and the union workers are trying really hard to piss off management. Ultimately, they are doing an excellent job of pissing-off customers.
