I was shooting some photos and got the idea to start this thread. A couple buddies like my grinder storage made with coat hanger wire. Also, check out the grease gun and cartridge storage to the right. [/IMG] I have four ralley wheels to store and they were in the way. I stacked them using...

Thanks for posting this video, very interesting. BTW...Tom's is mentioned in the latest edition of VETTE magazine Oct 2011, in a story titled BIG-BLOCK Party: part 3, prepping our 69 for the installation of a modern, EFI Big Block. Upgrading the C-3 differential is part of their program, in case...

I have a set off a 70 vert that I recently cleaned. Without rings and caps and just the wheel and valve stems; I got an average weight of 24.375pounds, over the set of four. Hope this helps.

When the engine is in the car, it is difficult to align the input shaft when the engine is on a downward angle. As you push the transmission forward while on a jack, the angle with the engine changes in relation to the input shaft. To counter this, cut the hex heads off four trans mount bolts...

The photo shows an improvement I have been using for quite a while on small wire wheel brushes. This one needed replacement recently and I thought to take a photo. They do make extensions that holds a 1/4 inch shank tool with two allen screws. I have one, but the large mounting area sometimes...

Check this out, it looks like a fun ride to me, but I'd leave the driving to a professional. http://www.autoweek.com/article/20110609/CARNEWS/110609854

Like many who frequent this message board, I need to do all work by myself. Sometimes it is a challenge, but the challenge can sometimes produce positive results. Bleeding brakes is probably at the top of the challenge list. Vacuum bleeder systems have always been disappointing, so I set out to...

You need to watch this to the end....it is too funny! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yA6d0xKmkIo

How many time have you wanted to do something like this but didn't? The result is funny. http://theboldcorsicanflame.wordpress.com/2010/12/12/how-a-french-man-deals-with-an-annoying-muslim-street-singer/

The video explains the event. http://bonehead.lerman.biz/php/FirebirdsWithoutWings.php

I have seen projector headlights on race cars, but can't find units that appear to fit properly in my 79 headlight opening. Making a housing/bracket is expected, but can't seem to get started with a headlight that lends itself to mounting in the C-3 opening. Maybe someone seeing this has done...

Apparently, the mechanic did not place the vehicle properly on the lift, but escaped the consequences. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLTEYRGbtd8&NR=1

I have been using a pressure treated 33 inch 4 X 4 post to raise the front of my C-3 for many years. I hand picked the post with tight grain characteristics for strength, but saw this jack accessory and had to have it. It can be found under Summit PN# SUM-918008 @ $42.95, in case anyone is...

Just take an old screwdriver and as already suggested, use a cutoff wheel to notch it similarly to this:
