Good catches, Jim, I saw those as well. I also saw on the “About Us” page in the first paragraph “engrained”, but surprisingly (to me) that is a correct (alternative) spelling for “ingrained”. It’s not in the AP stylebook, but most dictionary sites are showing it as a proper spelling. Don’t

One of the latest trends I see are these kids popping up on Fakebook that somehow decided to buy an old 123 and maybe they put a hood stack on it, or maybe not. Suddenly they somehow end up being the expert on Fakebook groups then start a shop. These people think it’s easy to learn all about

Are you renting a commercial shop or doing it out of your home shop? The shop here at the house is actually a commercial shop. In fact the PO ran a body shop out of it. If I were to finish cleaning it up and organizing it, I could run a business out of it. I’m about 45-1 hour north of Tulsa and
