Both are a beauty.

Bob Glidden was the man. He is the only person I ever got a autograph from.

Or a 3/8 piece of rubber fuel line hose. If it won't unthread all the way, I would try to screw it in and out a few times to carefully loosen whatever is binding the threads up. Sometimes the angle that you are trying to work at can be self binding so be careful of that.

Sounds like you need a intervention.

True but it is still more fun to row the gears in any kind of performance car IMO.

Thanks for the offer but I'm past that point now. I used to hop up valve bodies also as well as other bolt on things like performance servos and modulators.

Hose clamps works on smaller pullers. I have used ratchet straps to hold/pull things I couldn't get any other way. Do you do automatics also? I have always wanted to try rebuilding one but never did.

Those are the ape hangers of mirrors. I've never seen them that tall.

Where there is a will, there is a way. If you stopped breaking stuff you wouldn't have to think of ways to fix them.

Great story and I will be watching with interest as you save this part of your history.

I put some car manuals on Craigslist for free and couldn't give them away. I like paper manuals when working on a vehicle and still use them. Who wants to be messing with a phone with greasy hands trying to look at the little photos and text when you can use a book but times are changing for some.

Who didn't see that coming?

No mean they never go up? You are still paying the same amount that you did 20 years ago?

So you have a turbo Bird and " littlest wee-BR"?

After waking up and looking at the photo better, never mind.
