I've had a problem with a caliper sticking (not sliding correctly) on my truck. It's a common problem on the rear-disk equipped heavy-duty Dodge Rams. It wore the inner pad to the metal backing plate and destroyed the rotor. The truck had 55k miles on it, so I replaced everything...all 4...

Last time I removed exhaust from a car, it was probably 1993. I did it with a 3lb hammer and a cold chisel. That job sucked. So today, I'm working on the Roadrunner's winter project, which includes new headers and exhaust. I was looking at it and trying to figure out how I was gonna get it...

It's not the garage majal, but it's my man cave.... This is the workbench I posted last summer, finally finished. Maple butcher-block top and angle-iron frame built by me.

My dad, who owned few tools and used them even less, bought an SK spark-plug service set in the late 70s I think it was. Over the years, my two brothers and I laid claim to the old man's tools, since he didn't use them and we needed them to maintain our cars in high school and college. We did...

Anybody have old family tools they still use? To a collector, it would probably be better to leave them in the natural patina, but it's not like I'm going to sell these -- they belonged to my grandfather I want them clean and good working order. So I've been degreasing then bead-blasting them...

Honestly, I don't know how I ever lived without my MIG welder. This is a wagon I built for hauling parts out of junk yards and swap meets. I started with a Radio Flyer ATW (deep tub) kit, drilled out the spot-welds to remove the axles, then welded up the holes. I used 1/8" steel and angle...

Awesome website, just found it earlier this week. Here's a picture of some of my garage art and the toy that lives in the garage.....
