Thanks, Mike - that's my fervent desire as well, as we have an Alaska cruise/rail tour coming up in August and a car trip in October to see the NE colors change and I'd prefer not to have to reschedule either!!

I do have a project to share, and while it's a little on the embarrassing side, perhaps someone else will learn from it and not repeat the same mistakes I did. I had noticed that the Battery Saver in the '40 Chev was always overly warm, as was the Optima red top battery. I let the car sit...

While I have been keeping up on a variety of other GJ threads I regularly follow, I haven't posted anything on this as I have been slowed down by an injury. Four years ago, I had surgery to repair a significant tear in the peroneal tendon in my right foot. While goofing around on the...

My BendPak double wide 4-post is bolted down as well. I think that was required when we installed it in 2018. The single wide 4-post is not bolted down and I have the casters to move it around. I can't imagine moving the double wide around on casters - it's just so much heavier construction...

Hope you have a great time on Power Tour. That's on my "someday" bucket list - sounds like a great time!!

Looks great!!

I can't speak to the seller experience, but I have bought 2 vehicles from BAT - a '57 Cameo pickup and a '49 Cadillac Sedanette. I had good experience with an orderly process both times. In both cases, I used BAT shipping which seemed to be pretty seamless. I also used the BAT check out...

What a great tribute to your friend! Very thoughtful and well thought out, not to mention great execution!!!

Mike, the first part above is what sets you head and shoulders above a lot of people - your love of learning, and your love of sharing! I've hung around a lot of teachers during my 73 years - my mom taught for 43 years, my sister for 37 or so, my eldest daughter taught elementary school for 10...

Well done - I don't have the stones to attempt what you have accomplished!!!

Beautiful day in N. Texas for a car show. I bet that’s a handful!! Won best interior with a metal backrest!! Was Marine Corp pick. LS3 power, Art Morrison chassis! Won best in showo_O There are a bunch more, but at the limit for this post!

Truer words. . . . . . . . .

Another electrical gremlin bites the dust! A few weeks ago when I took the Woodie to a Cars 'n Coffee event, one of my buddies following me said I had no brake lights. The turn signals worked fine, but no brake lights. So, the switch is the first culprit to investigate. The master cylinder for...

Next up with it's own gas gauge problems is the Cameo pickup. But first, we have to deal with some lighting issues. Preparing for the Tri-5 Chevy show a couple of weeks ago, I walked around the truck to make sure everything was working properly. While the left rear tail light worked, I had no...

I think we're going to declare the '34's problem solved, but not resolved! I hooked up my Autel Powerscan just to make sure where the tank sender was grounded was providing a suitable ground - check! Disconnected the gauge lead and turned ignition on - no reading, check! Ran the gauge lead...

Been waiting for this milestone! Congrats!

I live by the rule there are no stupid questions. The only questions I recognize to be stupid are the ones that go unasked! The gauge has moved in the past slightly, but never past 1/4 tank. As to ohm readings at both ends of the gauge feed, the Ron Francis wiring fuse block is mounted such...

I guess this is my week to chase electrical gremlins. First up - 1934 Ford. The fuel gauge has not worked since I bought it, never showing more than 1/8th of a tank, and generally empty or lower. Hoping the easiest explanation would be the answer, I made sure there was a good ground between...

Mike, this is exactly where I have been on black vehicles for 30 years! I bought Lori a black Nissan Maxima in 1986 when our oldest daughter was coming into the world, and I liked the car for about 15 minutes! The car was great from a mechanical standpoint (we owned it for 10 years!!), but the...

Last weekend I was able to talk my wife into going to a “Tri-5” Chevy show put on by a local club we belong to celebrating its 50th anniversary. She didn’t want to take her car as the paint isn’t perfect (there’s a bunch of fisheye in the clear), but I was able to convince her you couldn’t see...
