After reading Brent's post on heat shrinking metal I decided to try that on the bushing I had planned on drilling. After three heat/cool cycles I hit the bushing with the saws-all, heard a...

Re: Farmer fixes
It wasn't too long after that I was working as a cowboy at $40. a month plus board and room. Fifty bucks was a lot of cash then. I still cringe when I have to break a $50.

I thought I had a straight up 30 Std. Coupe but the further we get into it the more I question that assumption. The engine is Aug '29, the 45B body is late '30 with a 29 deck lid. Interior panels...

Bumper Clamp Covers
Does anyone have advice on attaching the repo stainless covers on the bumper clamps. There is very little slack on the crimping tabs and the clamp is smaller than the cover. Late '30 vintage.
