So we’re in western Missouri this weekend at my in-laws and I happened to be walking down the side of highway 13 north of Higginsville. I was right by the entrance to the Higginsville Veterans Cemetary when a funeral procession came over the hill and turned into the cemetery. The second car in...

So I’m in the process of building a shop and am debating on where I should put my 80 gallon Kobalt vertical compressor. The two options I’m considering are… 1. build a small room off the back of the shop (which would require spending a little more for the concrete, lumber and metal needed) or...

Hey there guys n gals, have y’all ever wondered if adding a radiant barrier to your shop build is worth it? Well, I’m in the middle of building my shop, will be insulating it with 2” foam board and was debating on whether it’d be worth spending the extra $1500 to add radiant barrier as well, so...

Currently building a shop and wanted to get y’all’s opinions on ceiling height in a metal/fab/dirty room. Will 8’ ceilings be sufficient for anything I might eventually need, like a vertical band saw?

Was going through an old tool box that I bought years ago and I found this tool and I have no idea what it’s for. Looks like it says “Fletcher” on the side.

We’ve all heard people say “they’re still out there” followed by photos or stories of some some awesome find in a barn, garage or fence row. Well, I’ve always been happy for the people who make these discoveries, I just never thought I’d have one of my own. Today I was doing some storm repair...

Hello everyone. I’m looking for opinions on shop floor drains. My initial plan was using 4 12x12 basin drains (marked by the red circles) but I’ve been debating if I’d be better off doing two long trench drains (blue) or maybe a trench drain on the right and the basins on the left. For a little...

I found some lifts advertised that are coming out of a repair shop, bendpak MX-10ACX, 10,000lb, manufactured in 2003. They’re $500 apiece, buyer takes down. That obviously a dang good price, but is the $2500-3000 savings worth having a 20 year old lift vs a new one?

Looking for a 3 pin dome light switch for the drivers side of my 72 Duster. Thanks

My wife, daughter and I were in Florida, with some friends, this past weekend for vacation. On the way home this evening we decided to make a stop in Georgia to meet The Man, The Myth, The Legend… THE @RustyRatRod! We spent a little over an hour sitting around the fire with Rob and Kitty. Had a...

So after running an eBay Ready-to-Run Hei distributor for the past 5-6 years, I finally got around to putting a timing light on it and mapping out the advance curve. Come to find out, the curve was severely lacking! I ended up swapping out that distributor with a factory electronic distributor...

Looking for opinions/recommendation on which intake to pick up. Engine info: mild 5.9 magnum with stock pistons, .218/.224 cam, speedmaster aluminum heads (not sure yet if I’m gonna get them ported or not, need to get some quotes). Plan would be to add injector bungs to whatever intake I run...

An 80 gallon, 2 stage, 5hp compressor popped up for sale locally. It’s a k7580v2 model with 15.2 cfm at 175psi. Asking price is $550. What’s y’all’s thoughts? Worth checking it out?

And I love it! :D

Hello ladies and gents, I’m in the planning stages of a 40x60 shop and open to any suggestions/ideas y’all might have. A few plans I have are 2 12x10 or 12x12 doors in the 60’ side of the shop and I plan to put heat in the floor. Aside from that, I’m all ears.

I finally got my regrind cam ordered and received from Oregon cams and I’m looking for advice on which valve springs to run with it. It’s going in a 5.9 Magnum, with speedmaster aluminum heads. Here’s the cam card. Would the Hughes 1199 kit be the kit to get? I tried calling Hughes but...

Idk if it was worth saving these or not, but figured I’d throw them up here to see if anyone can use them. I pulled these adjuster screws and jam nuts out of a junk set of small block aluminum rocker arms. Threads all look very good. $20 shipped anywhere in the lower 48.

I have a set of aftermarket small block rocker shafts and hold downs. $50 plus shipping from 42256

Pulled these out of my 72 Duster. Includes a set of functional front lap belts (the retractors work flawlessly), a set of front shoulder belts and a single rear seat buckle. All belts were black but the shoulder belts are sun faded and need redyed. Free, just pay shipping. Will probably throw...

Went on a sight seeing, mini road trip this evening and found a lot of great photo opportunities! I love drives like this!

Has anyone done or know of a Holley 1945 How-to rebuild video or thread? I bought an nos rebuild kit and while it has a bunch of trouble shooting instructions with it, it doesn’t have any rebuilding instructions.

As some you know, my brother and I are working on rebuilding/renovating an shop. Shed Renovation We’re getting close to time to concrete, which means I need to decide where to do any type of plumbing. It’s a 25’ 6” wide by 30’ deep shop. We plan on installing a 2 post lift in the not too...

This evening I recorded my first video in a YouTube series that I’ll be doing about renovating this old shed that’s on my dads farm. Back story: this old barn was on the farm when dad bought it back in 2008, the “main” part (section that was enclosed) was already in pretty terrible condition...

Looking for a set of stainless adjustable PRW or Speedmaster small block rocker arms. Prefer 1.6 but would buy 1.5’s for the right deal.

Marge’s 2016 Chrysler 200C got rear ended at a stop light yesterday morning (everyone is ok, thankfully) while the the damage doesn’t look too bad, it pushed in the structural steel below the passenger tail light. I stopped at the body shop this morning and they said it’ll definitely be totaled...

…to me and my Duster. We’ve been together for 8 wonderful years! We’ve had some rough patches and she’s taken some wear and tear, but with a few body mods and upgrades, she’s just as sexy as ever! The day she came into my life. And how she is now. Here’s to many more years and...

Hey everyone, so these rocker arms popped up for sale on a Mopar fb page and I thought I’d take a gamble on them. As can be seen in the pictures, the rocker arm with the X on it, is cracked. Anyone know what brand these are or know what brand I should get a replacement rocker from? I got them...

Tomorrow, I take my Duster on it’s first “long” roadtrip. I’ve put about 12,000 miles on the car in the past 4-5 years but it’s all been within 2 hours of home. Tomorrow, we’ll be leaving Logan county, Ky and heading out to western Missouri to the wife’s family. Got new tires put on this week...
