Have had a real journey with my Carb.. sent it in for rebuild in 2007 to an outfit in CA. The rebuild was marginal at best and for $400 felt that I was ripped off . Never got that resolved, and the Carb never preformed like it should. Fast forward to this year and my determination to fix my...

Have been working on Jeep projects but am to the point on those projects that I can break away and get back to my track. Several months ago, purchased the listed tubes on the Lucas site for my new tires. Wheels were blasted and painted, new tubes installed etc. (these are the correct HT Combat...

Just picked up this 1942 Ford yesterday that has sitting in a hanger for years. Its very complete, has a title and ran when parked. It was used to run ground crews around the airport and also to run aircraft in and out of hangers and has a pintle on the front...
Getting set to change out my old track for new ... and I realized that the very worn track on my M16A2 appears to be German made? This was a former French Track before I recovered it and I assumed it would have good old BFG track on it ... never really looked at the track until today. Anyway was...
