Hi fellas, For some time now I have been selling economically or giving parts to other members here. I'm getting older and realize I can't build everything I dreamed of so, the part divesture. I recently sent off a steering column to a member for his grandsons' restoration and received this...

An old friend of mine asked if I could resurrect his Shelby intake system for a 302 Ford engine. I said yes! He purchased this new in the box over 40 years ago and only put 25 miles on it when new and then it sat. These were a "over the counter" item from Ford in 1966. It's a whole lot of...

Just wanted to remind you fellas to be more careful than I was when using tools. Last Sunday I spent 3+hrs in the local ER getting my hand patched up. I was cutting out spot welds on a fender and got too comfortable with the operation when I slipped off the weld. I went right into the web...

Before I realized what was happening, I walked in my shop and caught this going on:). Mike

I highly recommend McC for any type of hardware. Pricing is fair and delivery is amazing. I am in midMichigan and the warehouse is near Chicago and my orders are delivered the next day! Mike

Well, I was about 4 miles from home this morning, on the way to my yearly "wellness check" when I smacked a deer. This makes #8 in my life-so far. I was in my winter beater (2008 T&C) and the plastic facia is busted up pretty good and I have a large dent in the drivers door. I do purchase...

I am preparing for a flock of Bluebirds this spring, so I hit the woodshop and whipped these up this afternoon. Red Cedar. Mike

Rolled rib roast, mashed red skin spuds and gravy, Yorkshire pudding, carrots from our garden, fruit salad, and apple and pecan pies for later! Yum. Mike

I do not recall a previous thread on this: how many members here were employed in Chrysler product dealerships and when? I was from 1970-78. Mike

I'm smoking 2 big pork butts and 2 whole chickens today, in the cold storage garage (it's raining). I'm hosting a "pot luck reunion" Saturday for my HS graduating classmates. 55 years. Making pulled pork and chicken salad. Mike

Will someone share a current code? I have a $300.00 plus order waiting to send. Thanks! Mike

In between wiring today I managed to smoke 3 pork butts in 6 hours time. We'll cool and freeze 2 and finish the other one in the crock pot tomorrow night. Check out the smoke ring. Also had time to smoke hot dogs for lunch and I have baked beans in the smoker for tonight's meal. Mike

I see that a tourist in the Grand Teuton Park area was clocked at 132 MPH in a DODGE truck! He's an idiot regardless. Mike

A week and one half ago a member named Jerry offered his magazine collection for $1.00 and I accepted. Now, I can't find his contact info. Can anyone help me. He lives in midMichigan. Mike

Just thought a different perspective would be fun. Mike

Hi fellas, I helped a friend replace pads and rotors on his quad and he got me this: Mike

When distance of delivery becomes too far for our members perhaps we could work out a chain delivery system among ourselves to assist others? Not a speedy service mind you, but an eventual delivery of desired parts. Kinda like buying from Amazon! A map of travel routes could be worked out so...

The "what did you work on today other than your car" thread is too far back in the files so I thought I would start another, similar thread. I built a replacement stand for a friend that he picked up yesterday. The original Cabela's stand with feeder assy was backed into by a dozer and cobbled...

Today I gave a check to our local charitable foundation. I assumed I would be reimbursed with stimulus money. Who knows now? I wanted to help people with rent, food, clothing, etc.. Gave them $1,000.00. It still feels good. Mike

Hi fellas, I have a older, good 12 volt Porter Cable drill kit (2 batteries-rebuilt) but, my charger died and I can't find another. Can I use a Battery Tender Junior to recharge my battery packs? I would rewire the old charger case to adapt the battery to the Tender. The OEM charger is rated 1.6...
