Posted by RyanG in 1967 Cadillac Sedan Deville, Worklogs on August 2, 2009
So, one of the first purchases I made for the Cadillac was a set of new wheels. I knew the Cadillac needed tires, since the rears were showing obvious sings of dryness and cracking. I also knew I didn’t want to “waste” money on buying tires for the stock wheel size when I knew I [...]
8″ Lilliput cable pinout
So we just recently got a new sectional. In order to make space for it, we put our old recliner sofa in the back of my truck, and hauled it away. Of course, this meant I had to remove my car pc from the back of my explorer. Unfortunately, I didn’t tidy up the loose [...]
