I will never forget the doorbell button ignition I installed on my 82 Mustang when the factory tumbler just fell out....

doesn't canadian tire have signs up in their parking lots saying that you're not supposed to do vehicle repairs on site?? i think i remember seeing those at one time.... not that i actually complied.... many quick fixes were achieved in the canadian tire parking lot.... ahhh.... good times!!!!


onto the thread topic.... a magazine i love is 8lug hd. i always buy it - great pics, lots of "how to's", they feature reader's trucks and it's a great place to get ideas.

the webpage is here:
