    Friggin' UPS... What to do?

    Man I'm startin' to hate UPS... This is the second time I've had problems with them in as many attempts. I sold a couple of Holley alcohol carbs on EBay last week, the same buyer bought both. I packaged both carbs together in a large box, they were still new in their own boxes. I used...

    Lets talk welders...

    I think I'm going to need to buy a welder to fix up my Mach, I've found fiberglass repairs in a couple of spots in the engine bay, and a nasty looking patch on the floor, as well as a little rust hole in the door jamb. And thats just what I've found so far. I'm looking into buying a 120V MIG...

    Anyone else real wishy-washy with car decisions?

    ...Or am I the only one... Seems like I can't EVER make a hard and fast decision concerning my Mach 1. I started out building a big block, but we're expecting now so I went back to a 351C for cost concerns. Now I can't decide between Aussie heads or 4V heads, what manifold, etc. Hell, I...

    Close vs. Wide Ratio Toploader for 351C

    I'm in the process of selling off my big block pieces to build up my 351C, and am using the funds to buy a 4 speed setup. I've found a setup, and the seller has both wide and a close ratio unit available for my choosing (the close ratio is a little more $). I'm having a hard time deciding...
