Does anyone know of any outfit that sells "barn find" calenders,,,, Maybe RRT should do one to help cover costs etc? I'll contribute some pics.

Ok gearheads,,, can you use a conventional power steering pump on a rack and pinion steering system? Is there a preasure issue?

Does anyone know of a really good rad cleaner? I have this rad it's 50 yrs old but mint and I have a flow problem with it,,,,,,,,,,, is recore my only hope?

Does anyone know of a good way to really get old mags clean? I scored a set of used wheels that just won't come back to that clean aluminum look.

Just a story I heard about some months ago (and it's true),,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, A young fellow bought this abandoned car from a farmer without any papers. He spent about $20,000 on it and was nearly finished. He decided to trace the former owners to find out if he could get the papers for it. It turned out that the owner had died but his son was living several hours away. He phoned the son and the guy seemed  very inclined to get the car signed over to the kid as his dad had abandoned the car years before. The kid offered to come over and get the transfers done but the guy said to wait as he was passing by his area the next week.
The following weekend this truck with a trailer and the police showed up at his house and he was told that he must give up possesion of the car as the guys son was the legal owner of it by the police. As the poor kid watched the guy drive his car onto the trailer the cop said, "we have never met such a bastard, sorry about this". They all got in their cars and drove off with his 2yr old project dream car on this guys trailer.

If this doesn't give us all a cold shiver up our spines i don't know what will. I believe I would've gone to his house and burned it to the ground.

could anyone tell me the year they stopped using the thin front oil seal on the chevy oil pan and went to the thick one? Had a friend ask me and I'm dammed if I can remember.

Could someone tell me which is better............... have the temp sensor in the rad hose neck or in the head. I hate the in the neck type as they seem sort of "hay wire".

I'm going to put silicone brake fluid in my "47 jeep and my '23T. The idea is being as they aren't going to be used alot during the year the brake system will last me alot longer not having it absorb moisture while they are in storage. Does that make sense? It costs alot more but the up side will be no overhauls to the master cylinder or wheel cylinders down the road.
         Anyone else have any experience with this?
