Time to post tool pictures for all the special tools used to work on these old cars and trucks. A line or two on how you use these tools would be good. Here are some examples.

Spark plug cleaner

Valve lapping tool with lapping compound

Stud extractor used to remove broken studs and bolts

Rear drum puller

Piston ring expander and compressor

[Don Coatney]

Then I must open my tool boxes. You go first.

Same as Tim Adams and I both have! Original hammer wedges are very original. Here is a pair of pre gas axe axes with original wedges. I will improvise as to car usage:D

here are some tools I use, a multi-use puller for many purposes. A valve grinder, an old Van Dorn. The matal lathe for small spacers, etc. the air compressor, and one of a forklift with one of our in-line 6's hanging from it.

I think this is a challenge thrown out by Don to force me to clean my shop..he knows well that I leave tools laying around all over the place..I best know where a tool is by recalling what job I used it on last thus I am able to walk right to it and pick it up..

Used these tools to work on front suspension. The A frame tool was home made. The spring compressor was modified to work on a Plymouth.

[Plymouthy Adams]

nice rig..but looks like it needs a wheel alignment..I used a 40lb commercial made blaster and sandblasted my entire car with in in short order...these things are very handy..and as YOU are in control of the pressure and sandflow..chance of damage or warpage is at a minimum..

[Reg Evans]

This lift would have to be my favorite tool.

[JIPJOBXX]

Now this is a common tool and can really help out in a tight squeeze!
