Remembering back when...
vintagestang replied to clovis's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I'm too young to have a "back when" story but I'll tell you about something my dad did. Back in the 70s when my dad was in high school he built a hot 327 with a Muncie trans for his 57 Chevy. One day he was testing the clutch and ended up falling off the milk crate he was sitting on and the car just kept idling down the road. -
I have an Edelbrock carb and intake manifold so I don't know if the linkage is completely stock but I think it is. http://i1172.photobucket.com/albums/r574/Patrick_Mosier/Mobile%20Uploads/462C8C0F-60B3-4007-91FA-D3F33568B856_zpsyzgjm50w.jpg http://i1172.photobucket.com/albums/r574/Patrick_Mosier/Mobile%20Uploads/70C378A6-D31C-4E8D-A8E4-A1DD374ACC53_zpswqmxdsd9.jpg http://i1172.photobucket.com/albums/r574/Patrick_Mosier/Mobile%20Uploads/0F852EB1-0878-43FC-9581-101DF1CA7029_zpsosc6it1n.jpg This is the stock bracket. http://www.cjponyparts.com/accelerator-spring-bracket-v8-4-barrel-1965-1966/p/HW1333/

The dipstick is next to the coil and you can see where it goes into the timing cover. http://i1172.photobucket.com/albums/r574/Patrick_Mosier/Mobile%20Uploads/1FA72C11-3844-4EB6-99C0-4C319EDCAEDA_zps1tisjrqc.jpg The yellow thing is the oil filter. I didn't realize how hard it was to get to from the top. http://i1172.photobucket.com/albums/r574/Patrick_Mosier/Mobile%20Uploads/9F51616B-F5F7-45D8-8FFA-CD70B17309E8_zpsalpbrnvu.jpg BTW, The heater hoses are not in the factory location.

Driverless Trucks?
vintagestang replied to Jim B's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
This is so stupid. What happens if a computer malfunctions and wreck it? Huge lawsuit. I'll stick to my old carburated engines and manual steering. -
Um, wow, I haven't been here in a long time. So now for my question. How do I get spray paint out of the can? It's not for a model, it's for my truck but I figured that this forum would be the best place to ask. I have a can of spray paint for my truck but I need it so that I can brush it on or something like that. I have tried it before and the paint dried before I could use it.

Is there any way to fix old rattle cans?
vintagestang replied to clovis's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
My suggestion is to trash the Rustoleum and get Krylon. I always have problems with Rustoleum cans clogging up but I've never had a problem with Krylon. -
Rattle Cans - who still uses them?
vintagestang replied to tiking's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I use rattle cans. I have an airbrush but I'm too lazy to get it out and mix paint. -

I can't do it! -
Is there a kit that Has bucket seats and a rear bench seat with molded in button tuft interior? How do I make button tuft interior with real leather? I need some help on this part of the interior of my 57 Chevy.
