built in Canada.

Because of sitting over the past couple of years, the brakes needed
repair, so I started on the project around 9 this morning.

I would just like to point out to my Canadian friends, that it's
leftie loosey, righty tighty.

Not leftie tighty, righty loosie.

How many cylinders of that Corvette engine did you shave off to fit it
in the Escort?


As it happens, I have a full race 350 sitting in the garage only
waiting assembly. :)

Lug nuts with left hand threads? I forget which car companies used to
do that. One side of the car had left hand threads on the lug nuts. I
about injured myself the first time I ran into that.

At one time, all Chrysler products did that.
