That woodchuck did some nice work. Quite ironically, we just had a woodchuck incident at work, but it damaged nothing but the woodchuck. He apparently had cuddled up against a drive gear on one of our mini-excavators, which was sitting in the grass outside and in the sun. When we moved it, ( we didn...

Good idea on going with silver painted as opposed to chrome. Chrome looks so good when clean, but keeping them that way is a chore. If I could go back and do it again, I'd get the silver wheels, strictly from a maintenance stand point.

Way to go, 'Smoker!! :D Nice job with that l'il SS of yours! By the way, what is GMJohnny doing in that one photo with his back turned to us? :shock: I was draining an ice bag on the ground when I realized it was looking like something else. If the cameraman had the correct angle it really would ha...

The rub-out job looks great. It looks to me, from the pictures, that the vinyl trim is faded pretty bad. Duplicolor makes a great vinyl paint that works awesome and Krylon has a plastic paint that is sweet as well. We painted white vinyl seats on chairs at work with duplicolor black and they lasted ...

It has got to be a vacuum leak. Use starting fluid to find the problem. I would be surprised if the maf sensor went bad based on how the problem started. Just my opinion, good luck......

If you are trying to make it look good to sell, WD-40 willl make anything look good for a short amount of time. We use it at work all the time and it makes everything ( including paint, plastic, etc ) look like NEW!!!

At work, we say " engine oil is better than no oil at all! "

Nice hot rod!! There is plenty of speed enhancing product for that power plant. Nice choice!!

I am trying hard to get out on a Wednesday. Gordy's baseball team just rescheduled a rain out for this coming Wednesday. ( bummer, it's supposed to be only 70 degrees !! ) I am trying for the following Wednesday.

Sure seems like a lot of work removing rust!! Thank God for fiberglass!!

How much compression do you need to lose? When I was working on my 307 olds heads, guys on forums were constantly complaining about head gaskets being too thick and loosing compression to them. Perhaps there is a mega thick gasket that would knock compression down enough to use the heads you have. ....

I can't make it on Sunday. How about next Wednesday???

I'm planning on takin the vette. BE THERE!!!!!!

I like the green. It looks "mint" !!

Just so you know, if you do some quick work with a sanding block and 80 grit sand paper, you can mill the head on the work bench. In the early 90's a guy I worked with did it to a 12 hp Briggs on a pressure washer. When we were done, you could almost lift the pressure washer off of the ground with t...
