I've carried a pocket knife (or two) since my grandfather gave me my first at the age of 10. I made a point of presenting my son with his first pocket knife at the same age. My small collection consists of Case, Schrade and Providence Cutlery. The latter is an inexpensive brand that you can...

Hey Dave, Breathers

Finally found a gas tank that fit the old Plymouth with a little modification on the filler tube. I've been driving her as weather permits the last two weeks and she's run fantastic. So there I am, cruising up the highway feeling pretty smug about all the work and money I've put into her to make...

And now were on to the next issue at hand, seems my 60 year old fuel tank has more than just gas in it!! The hunt is on to replace the tank and avoid the problems with filters and fuel pump that have plagued me for the last three years. Not sure how we overlooked this one but we'll get her...

My first car was a VW Dasher station wagon, Deisel no less!! More bondo than steel and great plumes of black smoke when I stomped on the pedal! It's what I was driving when I met my wife...not sure what she saw in me!! Then I moved up to a Postal Jeep with right hand drive and no passenger...

Sensitive touch is right, and an ear for the right rpms, steady pressure on the shifter and your good to go! The new new clutch on the Plymouth is in, had some trouble locating hte right throw out bearing so we jsut bought the entire clutch assembly new. Modified the clutch pedal pushrod to...

You remember that last week my clutch jammed, leaving me stranded and in need of a tow. Friday I shot over to my buddies shop where the Plymouth has been sitting, seems that he had modified the clutch pushrod for better throw angle to the clutch arm, but there still seemed to be something...

I had a 71 vw bug years ago that had some wiring issues which turned into a voltage regulator issue which turned into a battery issue!! I spent every morning, for about two months, push starting that bug in my apartment complex parking lot. The worst of it was the speed bumps every 50 yards or...

I had a ford fiesta 20 years ago that ,much to my new wifes dismay, I drove without a clutch for two months!!! The car only cost me 25 bucks so I didn't really care . I did make the attempt to start the plymouth up in second gear, in a level parking lot, but blew the fuse on the main power...

Here's more!!! My buddy cleaned up the end of the clutch pedal pushrod, polished and flame hardened, lock washer and loctite and I was back in business...........................for about 5 miles!!! Sitting at a red light and a guy pulls up alongside and tells me my brake lights are out and If...
