Re: Evapo-Rust Here are a couple of Ford pitman arms that I soaked in Evapo-Rust. A couple of years ago I bought a five-gallon drum of Evapo-Rust directly from the manufacturer. (Sorry, but I don't remember what it cost.) Evapo-Rust is a terrific product that I have no reservations about...

Back around 2004, one of these stainless upper and lower tool box sets was on display at a Costco here, and I spent a few minutes looking it over. It was thin and flimsy. The spot welds holding the bracket that held the top end of the hydraulic support arm to the bottom of the lid had broken...

In my searching for a red Snap-on KRL-series tool box, I am often looking up certain model numbers to find the dimensions and approximate age of something I've found. As an example, some of the 36-inch roll cabs from the last ten years or so include the KRL656, KRL756, and KRL1056. What is the...

I use this on bare metal: http://www.roadsters.com/gibbs/ The plan is to paint it (single-stage) black. Dave Mann (602) 233-8400 http://www.roadsters.com/

The finned aluminum timing covers were made by Enderle. They've been making them since the 1960s. Dave Mann (602) 233-8400 http://www.roadsters.com/

Thanks for the compliments. I love this old stuff. Top row, far left: Halibrand magnesium 16 by 13s Second from the left (and below): Halibrand magnesium 15 by 8s and 15 by 4 1/2s The middle rack houses two pairs of the original, two-piece E-T III 16 by 10s that were made in 1969...

Thanks. Getting the block to that state took me two weeks of evenings. (I tell skeptics that it took me less time than the average American spends in two weeks sitting in front of the TV.) I just happen to enjoy doing this. Even on here, I'd be embarrassed to admit how little furniture I have...

Since I like to keep my main work area clean, I converted a small room in the house into a workshop dedicated to grinding, sanding, and anything else that makes dust. A 60 by 30-inch steel office table from the 1950s was built to last for several lifetimes, and makes a great, rigid workbench...

Thanks. Yes, the one I took pictures of is a half-inch. Here's the picture you posted in the other thread, showing your 3/8" set: These things are great. I sure would like to find some more of them! Dave (602) 233-8400 http://www.roadsters.com/

As long as I turn it by hand, can I use an impact socket on an electric toothbrush? (ducking)

Here's a Craftsman push-button socket extension that I bought back in 1995: The lettering reads, "Craftsman USA 44292 EE U.S. PAT 4,962,682". Here's a Google Patents search for that patent number: http://www.google.com/patents?ct=result&q=%224%2C962%2C682%22&btnG=Search+Patents This...

Right here (with the handle): http://www.pitpal.com/products/6_Pump_Warrior_Jack-373-28.html If you order one from Pit Pal, it will be shipped directly from the manufacturer, probably in a couple of weeks. I got the six-pump version instead of the "pit stop" three-pump. Here are all three...
