No problem Stiney! It's not that far off topic since I'm getting to the epoxy primer stage and it's very relevant! I've never been a stickler for avoiding...

Humidity is so rare here that I don't even think about it. We have rain! But when it's not rainy it's low humidity.

You described exactly what I'm going for on this build! Since this might be my last complete build, I want a car that's very comfortable. Not cramped...

Had to repair the alternator adjustment arm on the Suburban today. Of course it's been 6 years I guess that I've owned it, and after the head work the...

This is a new wiring system for me. I've used the Speedway 20 ckt. GM harness for a number of builds, and like it. But this system was 1/2 the cost and...

Here's one in a warmer climate you might call them about? Maybe they'd sell the main body shell cheap?

I'll never seal a tank in any vehicle I own. I was coming back from Tonasket, Wa. a few years ago in my '69 Suburban when it coughed to a stop like it...

Waited until about noon today for the temps to get into the high 30's, and then fired up my tank mounted radiant propane heater to take the chill off...

Started out today on my '69 Suburban. Went to go to the store the other day and my phone rang. It was my wife telling me I had no taillights! So parked...

Since it's Thanksgiving I told Deb I'd take today off. But my son in law wanted to see the progress on the coupe, so we went out to look it over. While...

I have one of those tank mounted Mr. Heaters, but actually forgot about it until your post Bob. I have two of the fan forced salamander propane heaters,...

Colder than Hell out in the shop today! It's high 30's here today, and I ran my little electric heater all day, but it was still chilly out there! ...

Sold off my Goodyear Eagle wrinkle walls and Centerlines from my Falcon gasser today. Same guy who bought the 9" Ford from my '39 asked to buy them...

I personally think if a seller is advertising a particular brand, and even includes pictures of that brand, then that's what they should be sending you....

Here's a list of what Tennecco owns. Surprisingly they too are an American company. They used to be Tennessee Valley Oil Co.

Anyone ever heard of a company called "Tennecco"? It seems they've been busy buying up US auto parts makers lately. The "Monroe" gas...
