    So do you drink while you wrench?

    I've never drank alcohol in my life. My drink of choice is usually an ice cold Malt Goya. Most people I know that have tried it can't stand the taste of it.

    I got my title the legal beagle way

    I did not have to have the vehicle in operating condition and the folks at the bonding company didn't seem to care whether the car was running or not.

    owned one vehicle how long ???

    Well I don't know if this counts but I'd say it would have to be my 1980 AMX. Originally my parents bought it for me for my first car in 2000. My Dad liked it so much that he storta took it over. Had some work done to it and then it sat in the barn forever. I drove it a little in college for a...

    any one need any work done?

    I need work done, but then when I look into my wallet I realize why the work hasn't gotten done.

    I got my title the legal beagle way

    Last fall I bought a 1950 Dodge Coronet for 500 bucks from a dealership about an hour away from my house. Everything was cool, it seemed in decent shape, ran, even had brakes. So I decided to buy it. The dealer had advertised the car as a 1951. After looking up Coronets on the net I quickly...

    New Girl From Northern Wisconsin

    Awesome International. I'm a big fan of that style. I'm from Central Wisconsin myself, been through Superior a few times. Love that area. Good luck with your truck :)

    Oil Everywhere!

    Anyone know if an oil pan off a full pressure 235 will work on a splasher 235. I happen to have an oil pan from a newer 235.

    Oil Everywhere!

    It seems that bad luck has been sneaking around and getting the best of my 53 210. Yesterday the poor car overheated and blew anti-freeze everywhere. When I got home I noticed a curious trail behind my car. Today I drive to the grocery store and noticed a large pool of oil under the car. I get...

    Mini T bucket from golf cart

    Awesome project. I think golf-carts are pretty lame, this one might make me change my mind :)

    Any one besides me gotta have a sound system in a car?

    I have no radio in my daily (65 F100). Never came with one. I've had quite a few daily drivers with no radio. One time I had been driving without for about a year and then picked up a car with a stereo. It took a couple weeks before I noticed I had one. I do like music but I'm just too lazy most...

    Nice score although all that white stuff on the ground is giving me flashbacks!

    1965 Rambler Classic 770 - slow build

    Awesome car! I dig those old Ramblers. I've had two of them, a 65 American, and a 63 Classic.

    Old Dodge truck. Deal or not??

    Looks like a decent deal. From the looks of it the truck seems like it was driving in the not too distant past. I am curious if it is still sitting on the original frame or if someone did a frame swap.

    First time on the road since the 70s!

    Not sure yet. I originally planned on using the motor for the dump truck and selling this thing but I really like the style of the car. I found another good running 216 for cheap on CL so the 235 might stay under the hood for a while. My friend is giving me a running 350 so who knows, a...

    First time on the road since the 70s!

    I've been tinkering on my 53 210 a little more now that the weather has warmed up. It took me putting ashes down on the icy driveway to get the old beast to move under its' own power. There are quite a few bugs to work out on it (like the brakes for starters) but overall the motor seems to run...

    Blind Mechanic?
