Welcome to Classic Cars and Tools!
Smell the Roses
With all the hustle and bustle, sometimes it’s nice to look at accomplishments, whether large or small we humans need something to give us meaning in life! Being idle is not healthy and I can’t imagine what I’d be doing if it weren’t for my little Texaco Station and things that go on;) Pics can […]

59 Chevy apache rear end
Good evening! Dne’ here;) The past few weeks I’ve been having a battle with my rear end or differential! However, before I go any further, I have to say, the rear end has to be the most neglected part of a vehicle except for underneath our car seats!! Unless one hears a howl or grinding […]

Gas trap door for wooden bed
G’day all! Yesterday I had gotten around to installing the trap door that will allow filling the gas tank. The process was a little testy for me~ I’m not the greatest wood worker, but when working on these old trucks n cars, one has to have the “Jack of all Trades” ideology! The trap door […]
