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.

Here are 3pics, the socket set and igniton tools, and old wrench were my Grandfathers, either 30s or early 40s, as he died in 1943.

The hub pullers is a must, the Streib Brake Adjuster, the impact driver,are all essential tools.

The old craftsman torque wrench I bought in my final year of high school.

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..
