Most recent project was a custom tank for a Jeep CJ that a friend is working on. He is swapping in an EFI 4.0L drivetrain from a Cherokee and wanted to use the efi pump, sender, etc. The tank is baffled, has a drain, vent, and factory filler location. It also uses the factory style pump gaskets...

Yes, Thank you for those. I have the assembly there, and it works; the actual crank handle is what appears to be missing. I actually think I have a small handle off of some other machine that I may be able to bush and reduce to work. Worst case, those crank handles are available pretty readily...

Hello all. I acquired an old Wilton vise this past weekend while helping some friends go through an old timer's collection of things as his storage location is giving up on him and he is selling off things he doesn't believe he will be using in the future (he's 89 and a lot of this, such as this...

I picked up this Rockwell / Delta sander back a few weeks ago. The seller was "restoring" it, and is a friend of mine.

Thanks for the welcome! This is certainly my kind of place! The photo is from in my garage; so yep, all things on the table were acquired this weekend, except the Columbian and the stainless tank that are seen in the back right corner. The table is a very early Acorn, from before they were...

Hello there. New guy here. First real post other than introduction. I picked up the 3 big pipe wrenches shown on the table here; one is branded Rigid but the other two I haven't looked at them close enough yet to discern their origin. I plan on cleaning them up here soon; well once it warms up...

Hello there! It seems that more than often, a thread or topic of which I am searching lands me here regarding some old tool that I am working on or with. Just recently it happened twice in a week, and then this morning there is another forum I frequent with yet another link back here. 3rd time...
