    Use jack stands

    This past week, I just had to change out the transmission, clutch, PP plate, flywheel, and throwout bearing on my Mustang. My son owns a set of Race Ramps that we ALWAYS put under a car when climbing underneath. He also bought a second set of the ones that go on the rear wheels, and we jack...

    Earthman asked "Covid how are you affected?"

    I'm glad she is fine. Last night I asked my son Dan if he was still experiencing any symptoms, and he said the only thing left was fatigue....he can't get enough sleep, and I feel the same way myself.

    Earthman asked "Covid how are you affected?"

    You are right. When Dan and I went the same time to be tested, I tested positive and he tested negative right there in the office. But the Doctor said he felt Dan was positive because we live together, so he sent off the sample for the 3 day test, and sure enough, he came back positive too...

    Earthman asked "Covid how are you affected?"

    Wow, that is scary. But glad to see you fared better than a lot of others have (so have I). How far apart were the infections ? They say we have some immunity after having it once, but there have been cases, like yours, where someone got it twice. Even though I am pretty much over it, I...

    Earthman asked "Covid how are you affected?"

    I know what you are saying, Bob, but the facts are, there is no consistency to this virus. Teens have died, people in their 20,s and 30's have died, and a lot of them had no underlying conditions that would aggravate this thing. We all just need to be careful, mask up, stay away from others as...

    Earthman asked "Covid how are you affected?"

    No, this one is different than anything I have seen in my 75 years on this planet. It came from nowhere, started killing people, and has ramped up to the point where point where between 3,500 and 4,000 Americans are dying every single day. If we were to stand 4,000 people together, it would be...

    Earthman asked "Covid how are you affected?"

    Like everyone else on here, I wish your mom the best. This is one weird sickness, some people breeze through it, and some do not survive a day or two. But, like a lot of people, I have a new respect for how serious this thing is, and how, no matter how you isolate yourself and mask up, or...

    Guess who just tested Covid positive ?

    Happy New Year, and I hope all of you and your loved ones are safe. Dan and I seem to have turned the corner, I have not had anything above a 98.6 temperature for about 5 days. Tomorrow is our 14th day after being tested positive, so we are going to be rechecked tomorrow. My taste is...

    Guess who just tested Covid positive ?

    Thanks to all of you for your concern and friendship........it means the world. Well, for the past 3 days I have had no fever, it has not gone higher than 99. degrees but usually in the 98.6 range. I do wake up soaked at night, but even then my temp is normal, so it is probably my body...

    Guess who just tested Covid positive ?

    You guys have been terrific with your good thoughts and wishes.......I really thank all of you. Today is about 24 hours since I last had a fever, mine has stayed at around 98 degrees for a day and also during the night. Dan is the same, he never really had a temperature. He does have a cough...

    Guess who just tested Covid positive ?

    Thanks for checking in guys. Last night was the worst night I have ever experienced in my life. I tried sleeping, but my temperature was 101.7 and I was really out of it. I thought it was time to go to the emergency room, but I decided that would probably make me a long term patient there...

    Guess who just tested Covid positive ?

    My ex is an RN, and she and I have talked daily during this pandemic. She is going to get the shots, as am I, and so will my two sons. There is no hesitation on any of our parts, we can not go on living under the veil of this virus much longer. Life has been horrible for the past almost...

    Guess who just tested Covid positive ?

    Please guys, reconsider taking the vaccine when it is available to you. It is no different from the small pox and polio vaccines that we have taken for decades. All the scientists and medical experts are 100% confident that this thing works, and if you take it you will be doing it for more than...

    Guess who just tested Covid positive ?

    Thanks for the good wishes, guys. Dan just told me he got the results of his second test that they sent off, and he is also positive. That really bothers me more than me getting it. I suspect I had a mild case of this last March or so. Out of all of our employees that I work with every...

    Guess who just tested Covid positive ?

    Two girls who work with my son Dan came down with Covid, so he needed to go and be checked out himself, so , since we live together, I thought it would be best for me to go too. So last Saturday we drove to a testing lab in separate cars and we got tested. Dan was negative, but I came up...

    51 Chev

    Glad you have figured out the suspension/alignment issues. Better to do them now than after the car is all done, especially with that much HP and fat tires. Good looking car.

    RPU, bodywork underway.

    Thanks, Kenny. That is the one drawback to some of these early cars, no place to put stuff. I also needed to find a spot to put my registration paperwork, so I had it laminated and then stapled it to the underside of my passenger seat cushion. If I get stopped, I will just hand the cop the...

    RPU, bodywork underway.

    Florida actually bounced back and the temps went up into the mid and high 70's the past few days, so I got to put more miles on the car. But first, I took the four tires off and went to a tire shop and had them spin balanced, and it made a huge difference. The guy who did the work said the...

    ‘52 Willys Pick Up

    First of all, Pops, your Jeep looks fantastic. You started off with a very solid body and it shows. My dad always had Jeeps, first a military version that had machine gun ports in the bottom of the windshield, and then he moved up to a Jeep wagon. For my Christmas present when I was 11, he...
