Best Fordbarn tip for you
Every day I learn something new here on the barn. I have read often someone writing "great idea", "I have that written down at my bench now" etc.
What is (to date) the single best tip, or piece of knowledge, you have gained from the Fordbarn forum?

Unless you are a masochist, don't fit whitewalls or paint your wheels any other colour than black.

There are true experts on this site and a few posters that just think they are. Learn who is who ! Wayne

Re: Best Fordbarn tip for you
I found out about Bert's in Denver from this site. A visit there was worth the 1000 mile drive each way.

Re: Best Fordbarn tip for you
No doubt about it...Learning about Oscar U Zerk is at the top of my list. I have passed that knowledge on to all the coffee shop guys. Yesterday I preached the story to the check-out line at Walmart. Thank You Ford Barn

Re: Best Fordbarn tip for you
Mike,
Too many to truly list but when removing my rusted/frozen distributor set screw the advice of slow easy tapping with a screwdriver won the day on that issue..So with old nuts and bolts time vs force is a lesson I'll keep.
