Yeah, when I was his age I had already finished 4 years of active duty Air Force working on multi million dollar fighter planes, and was just starting out turning wrenches in gas stations! Got tired...

Ha, ha, that's right, but I'd have to get him off my couch first! You'd think just starting out as a wrench turner he'd be interested in hanging out in the backyard shop where I have the ol F-150...

Yep, the multi meter is your friend! Especially the ohmmeter! The kids eyes glaze over when I try and explain continuity to him! I find the youngsters now a days really don't have any interest in...

Ha, ha, that's right!! You should see me trying to explain to my daughter's boyfriend (22 years old) what a set of points is! I beat my head against the wall one day explaining what an ohmmeter is...

Thanks Moose! Yeah I was turning wrenches for 47 years myself before I finally retired. Now I turn them for kicks in my backyard shop! I know what your saying about feeling like a novice...

Yeah. it's definitely not worth putting money in, but I'm going to keep it so I'll dump a ton of money in it just because it's mine. I do car flips all the time and was going to fix the rear in this...

Yeah the rust on mine is incredible! The brake lines running along the frame just crumpled in my hand when I was taking them off! I'd like to replace the cross members, especially the X shaped...

Hi Cole, did you figure out your sensor issue? I have a 99 F150 XT that I'm restoring. The radiator core support was basically gone from rust. I was looking for crash sensors and couldn't find...

Hi everyone, I just joined your forum and wanted to introduce myself. I'm a retired auto mechanic (47 years). I retired from the federal government and the military both. I flip cars from time to...
