Can you clean gauges?
Can the needles handle a blast of water and air? They seem very fragile and breakable. -

Can you clean gauges?
So I got some junk yard gauges yesterday which the face plates are a little dirty so I was wondering if I can clean them up without ruining or dulling the painted print? I recall trying this on my chevelle gauges and the paint smeared. -

Scores from DIY Parts Yards, Pull A Part, U Pull It etc
No complaints, just educated today why these cars are so hammered. Two of the three trucks had auto tilt columns. Every one of them the ignitions were trashed, lock mechanism laying on the floor. They haven’t been in the yard more than a day. -

I drive this one the most, 99 Bonneville, left work on Wednesday, and heard a crunchy sound, then the power steering was intermittent, temp started climbing and noticed some smoke at the stop light. Pulled into a parking lot and coolant leaking, water pump seized. Called tow truck, hauled it...- mxer147

Yea, I have been seeing a white Toronado on my drive home, sweet boat ride floating down the road. Talked to the owner at a stop light, said it has the BB 455 in it.- mxer147

Scores from DIY Parts Yards, Pull A Part, U Pull It etc
Went back this morning to get some parts I was unable to get yesterday because they closed for the day. There were a couple peeps in line in front of me, then several more went to the front of the line. Most only had very large screw drivers and pry bars which was a little puzzling to me. So the... -

New meat in the yard so I scored some more parts to take off my list. It sure would be nice to find a perfect dash pad! -

How Will My Square Body Look With XX Lift and XX Tires?
Planning to put these 20 x 9 on my K20 with 4” lift. What tire can I get away with before I get into clearance issues? I wasn’t planning to put aggressive treads on it.- mxer147

Patch Panel or Metal Fabrication ?
I used a body hammer to break up the bondo and find solid metal . I’ll grind the area down to confirm good metal and sand blast areas needing cleanup. No reason to hammer the **** out of it to only create more work.- mxer147

Patch Panel or Metal Fabrication ?
I bought a couple of welder’s about 5 years ago, still in original boxes. I guess I will need to set them up and convert the electric stove 30 amp circuit to 220 so I can operate them. I busted out the hammer, the worse cab corner and box corner had a bunch of bondo holding it together, really...- mxer147

Patch Panel or Metal Fabrication ?
Scrapped off the bubbly to determine the extent of the rust repair, looks mostly limited to both sides cab corners and both sides box behind rear wheels. Does it make sense to buy patch panel or just fabricate my own patches for these small areas? The driver side cab corner and passenger...- mxer147

Filled both tanks - BRUTAL
Yea, I was running on fumes when I pulled up to the pump. Each of the two tanks took nearly 20. First time I’ve ventured out over 5 miles, went nearly 20, forgot to put on the license plate too, didn’t notice until I got to the station. It actually drive’s pretty good but man it’s sure is a... -

Yea, I topped it off and put a small amount in a gas container, Walmart Murphy’s blue, ethanol free 87. -
Filled both tanks - BRUTAL
Gas was around $4 gallon a month ago because main refinery was shut down for maintenance. After finishing maintenance and back online, prices went down but it won’t last long. -
Filled both tanks - BRUTAL
Decided to filler up (pure gas) before the annual petroleum companies summer run up profits increase. Good thing I don’t drive it daily or I would have to get a second job. How much to fill your tank(s)? Or, what’s the most you have spent?
