    Oil on your hedders?

    No I don’t pee the bed (yet):D I use these when I change oil filters on small block Mopars with hedders. Just lay one absorbent side up (plastic side down) over my down tubes to stop oil from getting on them. Once the filter is off and the mounting surface is wiped off, just fold it up an toss...

    Depends Bed Pads

    No, no, I know what you are thinking.:D I cleaned out a property for a pending sale and thought I might be able to use these for something. They are water proof on one side and absorbent on the other. Turns out they work great for keeping oil off your headers when removing your oil filter during...

    Found another good double stick tape.

    I normally use 3M clear double stick tape for emblems and other small detail parts that mount surface to surface. The other day I found this stuff in the general office supply section at Walmart. Works as well or maybe better than the 3M stuff that I normally have to order WAY more than I need...

    About fender covers.

    Some already know I have a thing about using fender covers, and a thing about people who don't. When I work under the hood I use them, especially on cars that actually have a paint job. Well, one of the things I always disliked about them was depending on what the fenders are shaped like they...

    A fender cover solution

    Sometimes I will wait to get something for months if I don't see exactly what I want, and this was the case when I decided to get some fender covers. The problem was that I kind of wanted the Edelbrock Racing fender covers but they don't have pleats or anything made into them and on my Dart they...

    Report on the Eastwood Mig/Gas 135

    Man this is a nice little welder. It's quiet, feeds wire precisely, and blips for filling small holes really well. I have so far only used it to repair floor pan body metal holes, but it does a fantastic job. It can weld up 1/4 inch mild steel and can be used with or without gas. For the $327.99...

    Hate busted knuckles?

    Here's a tip I use frequently because it stinks to have torn up hands. If something is tight enough that I feel when it comes loose I might bang my knuckles on something I use wrenches interlocked like this. Believe me, it will save some skin by giving you much more and controllable leverage...

    Spark plugs in and out made easy.

    We all know how at least some of the spark plugs are hard to get at sometimes, so thought I would share one of my "Old School" tricks. Once the plug is loose I slip a 4 inch section of 3/8 fuel line over the insulator of the plug and finish taking it out by hand. Putting them back in is where...

    Well, that sucked (in a good way) :D

    My Wife asked me to get rid of a broken upright carpet cleaner the other day and I instantly had a use for the little "sucker". (the thing wouldn't put cleaner down any more) I HATE leaks and seeps on my car and had two intake bolts that were very slightly seeping oil out around the head/washer...
