This area was the first one and all the posts ended up here. Now that the other areas are being built most of the posts here will be moved to the appropriate areas.

This thread will be deleted after the forum is built.

I for one am quite happy things are getting back.

Hi All
I just found this forum, thanks to Rock Auto.  Just a little curious.  How long has this forum been in existence? 
I've spent the last hour or so poking around on it & it looks like this is my kind of people!
As it's getting late, I guess I'll continue looking around more tomorrow.

Cheers,
Tom

The original "The Garage Gazette" had been going for a very long time. Unfortunately, a  couple of months ago the entire site was lost during a server hardware upgrade, including the backups, at the company that hosts the site. This is why the forum doesn't have many threads but everyone seems to know each other.

Hi all
Found the site because of the latest Rock Auto newsletter and thought I would give it a try. I spend a fair amount of time in my garage and there isn't much that I won't work on. Currently I spend some of my time on a 26' 1990 Fleetwood Flair motorhome, fuel pumps.

Hello everyone!

Another Rock Auto  directed member.  Looked cool, and I decided to join. 

I have been collecting tools and working on my own cars (for the most part) for over 30 years now.  I have a red 97 Ranger that I have owned for over 13 years, a red 2009 Charger (Wifes car, which we nicknamed Clifford because it is a big red dog...) which we have owned since new, and a white 2010 Buick Lucerne which we have had for almost 2 years now.

from Fishers IN

Regards,

Anson

Well I got my old computer back up and moved it out to the garage...LOL...I know "why do that" ....because I can.... I only have a few addresses on that one, keeping it simple...
I even found my user name and passwords for one of my Mustang forums...

Nothing like spending 3 days deleting about 4700 multiples of pictures from my photo app...I will try to get one or two pics of the car on sometime this weekend...it an 89 Gt convertible with 85 thousand miles...I even was able to get the original pictures when I got it home from the dealer....

Thanks for the welcome.....

Welcome Wildcat.

I had a 56 Special but I didn't know the Wildcat was as early as 56 I thought they were early 60's. I seem to recall a concept car maybe called a Wildcat I think it was a small one like a Vette from around that era.

In any event glad you found the place.

The Wildcat, Super, and Special were all Buicks of the 50's as well as the Roadmaster. Pop was a Buick man, me not so much. The last one I had sort of ruined me on them, more of a never again.

Welcome to the site  56 Wildcat. a blast from the past....

I'll tell you why its better in the past...it took me 7 tools to replace both head light bulbs in my sisters 2014 Kia Optima, went to YouTube to get and idea..and all the sites that said it was an H11B bulb were wrong...H7 was the bulb, I had to remove the battery, move the coolant overflow bottle and make a trip to the parts store for the correct bulbs...no way that should be the norm to replace a head bulb...

Thanx, guys! I've been busy since last we talked, acquiring a few Husky catalogs, including a 1957 with price list. As soon as I get them scanned, I'll post them here. Also added to my vinyl roll-up pouch wrenches. I still need to replace the New Britain 1/4" X 15/15" open end wrench with a Husky H-1020 to have my first set complete.

Hi Folks, just hopped over from MG. I guess I fit in? I have a 1919 Model T speedster, 1926 Rickenbacker, 1929 Model A and a 1964 1/2 Ford Mustang convertible, all running. And piles and piles and piles and piles and piles of stuff. And about 5 life times of projects and only one life time to do it all in LOL.

And just like Chips and More above I drifted over from MG..  I'm working towards retirement in September and then move my household and shop into a 2 car garage in southern New Mexico.  Should be an adventure for sure!  My current project car has been a 34 Ford 3 window coupe.
