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...

Earlier today I took these pictures for a thread on here about floor jacks. While the aluminum Pit Pal tables and shelves were cleaned off, I took a few more of my garage, and some of the parts for my long-term '32 Ford project. Enjoy. The back wall is my office. HDTV above the computer...

Re: Floor Jack recommendations I spent more but got more. They're about $800, but Brunnhoelzl floor jacks are what you have seen copied, and they are guaranteed for life. http://www.brunnhoelzl.com/ Dave http://www.roadsters.com/

I don't know if it would be feasible for you, but in an area where it gets that hot, I'd rather have a larger main floor (or a basement) than an upstairs. Everything is a compromise, but something that works well for me is to have one room where I do all of my grinding and sanding in addition...

There's a reason nobody makes wrenches out of stainless. For a given size and shape, forged steel is stronger and much more resistant to cracking. They're interesting pieces of history, though. Dave http://www.roadsters.com/

One reason for their following is because of the Hazet tools themselves. They have made many special, dedicated tools for mechanics and also for factories, and in many cases they are the tool you need for a particular operation on a particular car. The few Hazet tools I have are really superb...
