- There are countless old school and traditional mechanic hacks that have stood the test of time and work as well today as they did generations ago, but some of them have become obsolete and can even be damaging in the long run.
Here we talk about using automatic transmission fluid and marvel mystery oil to cure a problem that no longer exists, and the use of brake fluid to help swell seals and stop transmission leaks.

One of my old friends said he had been drinking brake fluid to get a buzz. I told him "Scotty, that stuff will kill you if you keep doing that". He said, "Don't worry, I can STOP any time". 😁
You're a very brave man to balance that brake fluid on the bonnet of the Jeep lol.
lpl
Scotty has been on the brink of death for ten years now.
I was hoping Uncle Tony was going to end the video with, "Remember to ring that bell!"
Rev up your engines !!!!
ROLL UP YOUR WINDOWS, You're here at Uncle Tony's Garage!
There's someones whos been watching a while!
@@NSUGS Pretty much since the beginning, when Tony and Lambchop first started tearing down Bottle Rocket.
I heard this in Scotty Kilmer's voice
One old time hack I'd like to hear Tony's view on was replacing the Dextron II ATF in a Torqueflite with Type F ATF.
Mainly a viscosity change, old school (shift kit in a bottle). Another one is universal tractor/transmission fluid.
racing/performance still mainly uses type F...
@@throttlebottle5906 yep shift kits recommended it at least the ones I installed back in the day.
@@Numer1Polakhytran and atf are very similar
Uncle Tony, you forgot to mention adding wood shavings to the differential, to quiet a howling ring and pinion!!
That's bananas...wood into trans...lol.
@@kenforu1531I'm sure Iv'e heard of banana skins in a gearbox also torn up bri nylon shirts.
Here in SC, ONLY Chiquita bananas work. Accept no substitutes! 🤣
Scotty Kilmer sleeps with a $5,000 dollar Scan Tool under his pillow.
I heard stories of ground beef being thrown in manual gearboxes, diffs also. The smell must've been horrendous. 😂😂😂
Varnish is what holds my motor together !
I hope you know how much your videos help young people like myself learn more about our old cars
This reminds me of when the guy stopped out at the dealership to service the waste oil heater and said "Don't put brake fluid in the oil drains, its glycol based and not petroleum!" The also reminds me of our issues with Mercedes-Benz cars that would leak antifreeze into the transmission fluid via the cooler and make all the clutches shudder, especially the torque converter. Glycol is bad stuff when its somewhere its not supposed to be.
Many cars and trucks with "extended Life Coolant" end up with the famous Pink Milkshake from the trans cooler being perforated.
Hey,most are only thinwall aluminum.
That's when you need Uber's number and another trans and a nice bank loan
Does not apply to coolers outside the antifreeze circuit or a manual trans,but does include Flood Cars
In the MB Dealer I've seen trans fluid in the wiring harnesses
I've also seen waste oil pumps chewed up from drain plug washers and screws,I install two pre filter screens on them- way cheaper than a pump
Took out my buddy's nice W212 station wagon
They used to add brake fluid to a slipping transmission to get it working long enough to get the car sold.
Lost reverse in a 1985 Chrysler Added brake fluid to my transmission to soften up the seals in it and it gave me back reverse.
Now they have lucas
The mechanics at the Chrysler Plymouth dealer I worked at (50 years ago) said if you had a transmission leak bad enough to use brake fluid (say to get home late at night from a long trip), expect to find in the morning all the seals blown out and a tow job to the shop to have the transmission rebuilt. BTW, I was in the parts department.
Had a customer add atf in master cylinder. Everything had to be replaced. About a year later he did same thing. He said cocaine was a hell of a drug.
A buddy of mine many years ago had a 68 Chrysler Newport with a 383 & 727 transmission and one day heading back from a girl he was seeing he lost drive & it was because the transmission was low on fluid and he had no transmission fluid and we were miles away from the nearest local gas station on a back road & all we had was a case of Schlitz Malt liquor beer and he dumped in 2 cans of beer and the transmission worked good enough to get us back home so he could pull the pan & change the transmission filter and fluid . He was a body guy & the body & interior was in nice shape and he ended up painting it and putting mags on it & drove the car for a number of years then sold it and bought another project car to fix & drive to eventually sell it . I'm not even sure if Schlitz Malt liquor is even being made anymore because I never see it on the shelves anymore but man talk about the best bang for the buck because that stuff packed a punch lol but back in the late 70s early 80s that beer was super popular back then .
For the transmission leaks, try that AT205 reseal, one of Scotty Kilmer’s favorite products. I used it on a leaking hydraulic jack and it stopped leaking!
I too did this (AT-205) on my son's 2008 Mustang. Last ditch before puling the tranny. Scotty Kilmer raved about it (he raves as a general way of speaking, but he's informed). Two years and 30,000 miles ago and no leaks. I was actually shocked. For all that time we have been waiting for Trans disaster. Nope. He just recently drove the thing from Nevada to Ohio for grad school. Drove perfectly no leaks of any kind. Just my one experience, but there it is.
Funny I wrote that on a sticky note years ago after seeing on TV but never used it. Will it work on manual trans seals also?
take it from a younger kid who tried the brake fluid trick on a 350 turbo chevy trans in a truck i owned back in the day. i had a small leak at the front and rear seals, and dumped in about 2 shots of brake fluid. after about 3 days the leak stopped, but the brake fluid NEVER stops! lol,,,,i got by with it for about a year, and the trans gave up all at once. pulled it out to have it rebuilt and it had completely ruined every rubber item in the trans, and had even softened up the clutch disc linings enough to start coming off. 20 dollars in seals and a couple of hours labor would have saved me a lot of money down the road. there is no quick fix, only band-aids,,,,lol,,,,
The pre brake fluid fix would've been a lot more than a couple hours
@@mikem5475 my truck was a 74 chevey 3/4 ton 2wd. i could drop the tranny out with a floor jack and only hand tools in under 30 minutes. it was back in the day where you still had room to work on a vehicle! lol,,,,
Uncle Tony, I worked in a junk yard back in the early 1980's. I used to swap, engines, transmissions, etc then my boss would sell the vehicles out front. He used the brake fluid "trick", also saw dust and banana peels for noisy rear axles.
I have a friend that swears by the bananna peel trick, watched him do it and it was alot quieter.
My favorite roadside fix hack has to do with the radiator. If you spring leak in your radiator, you can put egg whites in your radiator and seal the leak. I also heard that Peper works in a pinch.
A mixture of flour and tobacco from cigarette butts in the ashtray got me home in a pinch
Pepper in radiator fixes great my heater core dripped on feet until i added 1/4 cup black pepper years ago still holds strong
Never done it, but I heard oatmeal works too.
@@rctopfueler2841I’ve done that also. Works good. Safer than radiator leak seal products.
And you're traveling with breakfast?😅
My dad worked as a mechanic decades ago and I remember his coworker loved doing the ATF treatment. So much so the fire department was called one day they told him he was creating a traffic hazard from all the smoke :)
I have heard of the water down the carb bit but have never done it myself but I have done a quart of ATF into the crankcase to help clean the lifters and oil galleys a hundred miles before the oil change.
I'm 67. Been turning wrenches since I was 4. Once again Uncle Tony is dead nuts right on.
I love varnish. It reminds me where i stand in life.
Have used AT205 on a Toyota 22R and a Ford Ranger with over 360,000 miles and 480,000 miles. Both leaked oil bad and it sealed up the Toyota and the Ford still drips about a quart a month. The Ford would drip a quart a week. I have also fixed leaky jacks in 3 to 4 days. Put it in and raise and lower a couple of times a day. I am a customer for life it works. Have tried other oil stop leak products but AT205 is the one that always works.
Trans fluid through the carb is something I haven't seen in 25-30 years. I'm 42, and I still remember the stench of the exhaust from that. I didn't know they were doing it for varnish though. I was a kid just trying to stay in the garage with the big boys😅.
The bad fuel line issue caused my son to be involved in an accident with a powered parachute.
The pulse line for the fuel pump (2-stroke) was the wrong kind of rubber and failed right when they were coming in for a touch and go.
The engine quit right at the worst possible time.
Right as they were climbing back out at about 50ft off the ground they lost power.
It caused the airframe to swing backwards under the chute and then nosedive into the ground.
The pilot broke both legs and my son got a minor back injury but, both made a full recovery. Thank God.
There’s a product called AT205. Scotty Kilmer endorsed it years ago. It is not like the other store bought “seal swellers”. It is the only product I’ve heard actually works on seals especially advertised for transmission seals. I have never used it personally but the results I’ve read about are amazing. I use the Lucas clutches in a bottle as vice grip calls it. It helps bump viscosity and slow/stop seal leaks.
I use atf as an engine flush I put about half a quart in the crank case and drive easy for 2 or 3 days then do an oil change. Does an excellent job on old sludgy motors.
Scotty got me hooked on 90’s Toyotas as daily drivers
Uncle Tony got me me hooked on G-bodies and driving ratty classics in the Ohio salt & snow
Yep salt eats em up. Im just east of Cincinnati
Great talk Tony! Being a dinosaur myself I'm familiar with all those hacks, and quite a few more. Used car dealers as we know, can be really sleazy. Like the ol Comet ring jobs ect, I'm sure we could talk for hours. However you're more up to date than I am, so I found it to be informative. You do a excellent job of putting the whys and wherefores in laymans terms that are easily understood. I worked for years at a old school garage/junkyard, and atf and lacquer thinner are great friends. Every engine job got four quarts of oil, and a quart of atf. If it had been sitting ages, you used type F, otherwise dexron was the universal cleaner. Diesel works wonders at times. We could hang and BS for hours no doubt, very enjoyable!
Don't know if they still use it , but the gas refineries use to use heptane in the winter . Helps vaporazition in the cold . 1970's definitely ,,, !
I'm always hearing people talk about putting ATF in fucking EVERYTHING...in the throttle body, in the crankcase, in the fuel tank, using it as cutting or threading oil, as a parts cleaner, staining their deck with it...but show them an automatic transmission and suddenly they want to pour brake fluid in it!
Ug the smell of ATF. I was covered in it once putting a trans back on the rear mount and I despise it.
@bbb462cid I'd much rather smell ATF than heavy gear oil (MTF or diff oil). Sulfur!!
Like Frank's Red hot 😂
@@elektro3000 burned heavy weight
@@bbb462cid Gagged a little just imagining that smell.
I had a leaking pinion seat back in the 80s and put brake fluid in the rear. It worked for about a year.
I was taught to fill fuel filters up with ATF on semi diesel engines to clean the injectors
Water works to clean carbon build up universally because it’s the universal solvent!
To the gasoline composition today, I agree with what you’re saying. Gas will still turn to varnish over time, but at a much much lower rate. Idk what the ratios are now or were then, but instead of say a gallon of old gas turning into a pint of varnish, it now turns into maybe a couple ounces of varnish and also takes a lot longer to turn bad like that. Fuel is still cheaper to evacuate and replace than a bunch of fuel system components like the pump, filter, and fuel injectors.
I love Scotty Kilmer too. I actually discovered your channel on accident from watching a bunch of his videos
The brake fluid thing used to be common. Personally, I make larger o-rings out of smaller ones by soaking them in B-12 Chemtool😂
Somebodydidthat to my master cylinder one time, I couldn’t believe how big those seals got
Your click bait is different because you actually have valid info to share in the video
Your click bait is legitimate.
Yea he never leaves us feeling like WTF 😂
Pft, keep clickbaiting, the content is always worth it
Amen we love it all brother man!!!
My '69 AMX's float bowls dry out in no time. But at least I got it running and it runs fairly well.
That old brake fluid trick is right up there with driving the ol' tailshaft bushing into the tailshaft housing, as long as there is enough room for it to go in there.
I remember putting pepper in the radiator of my 56 Chevy back in the 1970,s seemed like it worked for a little while great video Tony keep them coming
My former Boss who was a mechanic and also was a First Sargeant in the Army during World War II had told me the engines they had would run 24 hours a day they would drip water into the carburetors on those engines to keep them running and they only time they were shut down was to change oil and points and condenser and check the water level in the radiator other than that he said they very seldom had internal engine issues
I’m glad that you pass your knowledge on to others. Thanks Tony.
Old school used car salesman trick, that always damaged car's. Putting 90 weight gear oil in the engine to quieten a noisy lifter, or to stop a car from smoking. One of my bosses son's did that just to get a car through the auto auction.
Scotty is why im here haha, he said you knew carbs many years ago now.
Marvel Mystery Oil & Rislone Oil treatment ftw
Love Scotty! "The end is near." "It's finally come to this." "Time to say goodbye." LOL.... Scott and his dramatic titles.
wow, I got taken by that transmission trick a few decades ago. I wish I had known that back then!
My dad used to do this back in the day , until he was ready to change the seals. I however use AT-205 by ATP this works so much better in my opinion.
Diesel in the carb is an old school VW trick. Two stroke synthetic oil mixed proper ratio with gasoline for my weed whacker runs perfect in my 4 stroke Briggs and even occasionally in my fuel injected Harley. Done it forever. Brake fluid in the power steering works but it's not a permanent fix.
Uncle Tony rubber is white and the reason we had white wall. Tires rubber is died black so it helps with UV protection.
That's how it use to be but now everything is mostly synthetic rubber.
That’s not how I heard it. Natural rubber is tan, but that kinda looks gross so back in the day they bleached with sulphur. That was before WW1. Almost all tires were white then, and that’s why the Michelin man is white. Then the war started and they needed all the sulphur for munitions. After the war, people had gotten used to black tires, but fancy cars got white walls as a call back to the classic era. White walls were very common in cars through the 70s into the 80s. What finally killed the white wall was the “Euro” styling movement of the late 80’s.
AT-205 It works without swelling the seals, or at least that was in their sales pitch way back when. When I had my garage, I had customers that wanted every service because they couldn't afford to pull the trans, but they could afford this every 30k miles. My 94 suburban started dripping at the rear main seal at 85k miles and I been using this stuff ever other oil change, and it drip free with 255k now
excellent video Tony. Same premise for sealing a leak in the power steering gearbox. I used a little brake fluid in there and it stopped the leak. Maybe long term damage is on the way?
rubber is white. they add carbon black when making tires
You know, I still have an old can of General Motors Top Engine Cleaner out in the garage. You would pour that stuff down the carburetor while revving the engine so it wouldn't stall out, all while making clouds and clouds of white smoke. I can only guess it is pretty toxic stuff. GM had an official part number for it and it was sold at the dealer' parts counters. The top line of the can reads: "Gr. 8.800 1 # 1050002". I wonder if they still sell it?
Interesting information. As an owner of classics and somewhat modern cars, I avoid any quick fixes to be on the safe side. But I did use chevron techron to clean fuel systems. Anyone else use this? Thnx for the vid UTG !
Reminded me of the pack-the-valve cover-full of sawdust trick to quell noisy valve trains.
If youre taking the rocker cover off, why not just adjust the tappets? You're going to clog the oil passages and seize up the engine in no time with that life hack
Not all tappets are adjustable. The noise could've been from bad/burnt/stuck valves as well. No concern about clogging oil passages; this was a shady trick used car dealers employed to move metal.
You mention that todays gasoline evaporates and leaves a dust behind, I just rebuilt my carb and found a greyish sludge in the float bowl, I now believe that's what was in there, the car is only driven on weekends and I would have to pump the hell out of it to get it started!
Tony 1999 Dakota 5.9. Computer magnum…. I had service engine light on , for cat , due to the overwhelming thefts the dodge price was over a grand , I cobbled one from eBay, long story ,trying to….truck ran like crap light went off but lost gonna of power… I then removed and hollowed it out, Put back on welded. No light , last year .. fast forward to a week ago , I forgot I hollowed out car , still no light go to inspection , realize what I did , well he’ll run it threw…….the put the buffer on reads fine ? What’s goin on here ? …the truck is running fine. Smells like 1970 but. What a. I missing why didn’t it read it. Fail it, why is light not coming on, brand new o2 went on same day as new cat ….. clogging cat got me here .. totally enjoy your channel uncle
I used the water in the intake to decarbonize the piston and cylinder head.
Worked great, IF, you knew how to do it !!!
Transmission fluid mixed with acetone does even better, and smokes like hell, so customers thing something really good is going on.
Tim
Way back when I was in high school, my shop teacher had a clunker in the shop with a delayed engagement only when cold, he said the old trick was to put a couple teaspoon full of brake fluid to just slightly swell and soften the lip seals. I never knew people were putting a shot glass size per quart capacity. Lol
Yeah I’m sure it doesn’t take much!
I remember hearing about putting sawdust in the transmission in to help it from not slipping and then it would just slip about 5 mi away from the used car lot
I've heard of it being used to quiet differentials.
I tried years ago to clean engine parts like valves and pistons soaking in a bucket of ATF. Never touched the carbon in any way. Water and a good metal scrub brush did most of the job. Chipping it off with a screw driver and knife did the rest. Even Gas didn't do much to affect it.
Mix ratio is 3 to 4 ozs brake fluid, small vehicle use 3 ozs, larger vehicles that hold more transmission fluid use 4 ozs. My wifes van had lip seal in transmission not sealing on 3rd gear i did this 5 years ago still going strong . Transmission shop wanted 2800 to rebuild it,another shop told me about this. But dont use to much,or it will be corrosive.
I have done the water thing several times. I've put transmission fluid in a master cylinder to expand the seals. It works for a pretty long while, but eventually you still have to replace it. Another old school trick is to change the oil in any used vehicles I bought with 50/50 oil and trans fluid and let it run for an HR. Then drain it and on a 5 qt oil change put 4.75 qts of oil and .25 of transmission fluid. I it keeps your motor clean. I got an 85 C-20, that you can wipe clean the oil pan with a paper towel. Literally.
Been doing the brake fluid thing forever. Yes it does work, the transmission in one of my cars has been leak free because of it for about 25 years now. Never had any kind of problems with it, though, it does only get about 5,000 miles a year. Most stop leaks that are sold, mainly the Blue Devil brand, are just brake fluid. It may not say it on the bottle, but it looks like it, smells like it, and feels like it.
Enjoyed the info Tony! When you mentioned brake fluid it made me think about a friend who bought a Renault LeCar (it's was the 80's and she thought it was cute) and the fact that if you used DOT 3 instead of the proper spec fluid it would destroy the hydraulics. 😲
Rev up your transmission seals !!!! Speaking of swollen seal - Back when I knew everything I had a Willys P/U that I rebuilt from the frame up . Well everytime I parked it in a sunny spot the brakes would drag until I cracked open a bleeder to relieve the pressure. Cloudy days it didnt happen. Well it was a learning experience for me not to use kerosene as a parts cleaner for wheel cylinders . I washed it out with soap and water but the kerosene was imbedded into the metal enough to make the w/c seals swell when it sat in the sun. Another tip for beginners is dont forget to back off the parking brake adjuster before adjusting the shoes on a new brake job.
just be patient, extra marvel in the gas tank will clean the varnish on a road trip, all of a sudden my 86 rebel did another 5mph yesterday! it works great, left me with a sore rear end from south TN to north KY lmao
Spot on Tony, water for carbon, ATF for sticky valves. The detergents work great to remove anything causing sticky valves, where water had no effect on that but did great with carbon, steaming it off as it rapidly boiled in the chamber.
Brake fluid would/might stop or slow a leak temporarily, then suddenly it gets worse. Don't do that. All rubber is different, for brakes, trans, oil, air conditioning, although some interchange, not all do.
:)
Most of the people who follow Scotty know very little about cars. He’s done a service by steering poor people away from things like “cheap” German cars and forced induction/awd/hybrids. Some of his more technical advice is kinda iffy, but I get the feeling most of his audience will never get under a car nor even get their hands dirty working on one.
Had a bad head gasket on a 04 Nissan armada
I saw a video he said various leaks head gasket sealer worked great IF you locate the cylinder most affected by head gasket leak and to disconnect thd sparkplug
on that cylinder when running the treatment
and so I found the cylinder and removed said sparkplug and nervously proceeded with the treatment ...Stopped overheating and never had any headgasket type issues for the last year I had her. I think scotty#
is a good dude
As with many people who watch automotive videos on you tube. Big talk no action.
Making me nervous with that shot glass of brake fluid sitting on that red paint
Mopar Action magazine did that to the transmission in a 1966 Imperial. It was slipping at the drag strip and in the meantime it was getting sections cut off it to make it lighter and get better ET’s
Tony my dad was a old school trucker he truck back in 1940 right up to 1975 and he used brake fluid on truck tries
Two things. Maybe it can be used in an old type of manual transmission. There are no pressure seals in those.
2. The rear seals or on FWD drive shaft seals. You can put a sleave on the axles stubs if they have been worne down.
Sometimes it's just not enough to replace only the seal to stop a leak.
I got an XJ with stuck valves, thanks for the tip. Marine two stroke oil is the one I mentioned for carbon removal.
Bandage glue solvent Unisolve was used by my Nam vet buddy, Thanks VA
Ya! The only time you use an oil( I was told marvel Mistry oil)is for a sticky valve, I was told this from my Grandfather .
I remember hearing about the brake fluid trick back in the day from some demo derby dudes they were saying like brake fluid did one thing and then their other thing was antifreeze and I think their explanation for the antifreeze was it helped the clutches stick better I don't know they were demo Derby guys
Ever see what a can of STP oil treatment does to a old nissan transmission? Made it bark every gear until it eventually blew up from too much pressure. It was hilariously messy. The motor mounts got trashed, also.
Good tips. I'm reminding of all those leak sealant fluids both of engine or radiator that doesn't work for shits!! they shouldn't even be on the market.
I will not even put High Mileage fluids in my vehicles, if something is leaking, I replace the leaking seal. I can't afford tow bills or to be stranded somewhere because I decided to be lazy and band-aid "fix" an issue. It is a lot cheaper in the long term to repair something correctly the first time instead of using band-aids, cheap tricks and voodoo.
Not true at all, If you are driving a car that is not worth the cost of jobs like pulling the heads to replace a head gasket that is bad. That head gasket repair worked great for me, I had the car for three more years and sold it with that repair still working fine. I told the new buyer about that fix in case he ever had head gasket leak.
I tend to agree with this idea. That said, not all high millage fluids have nasty swelling additives. Can't say for certain, but I believe high mile ATF is regarded as ok to use. Could be a viscosity thing or other friction additives. Maybe some do though - I always buy regular. AC stop leak is pretty nefarious and I'd never use it.
In the mechanical engineering game, as a plant mechanic there is such a thing as serviceability tolerance.
Downtime or loss of production doesn't warrant repairs for low priority or cosmetic issues. Undue servicing kills with kindness.
My 1965 Barracuda Formula S is also leaking at the front and rear seals of the automatic transmission (and this is after a local guy "rebuilt" it for me).
Just like the old saying goes, "There's no such thing as a mechanic in a can..."
Scotty says use AT205 I believe that's what it's called to stop transmissions from leaking
I never used that much, not even half, and it lasted for years, but it took longer to seal up
How’s about the old trick. Of draining the oil out out of the crank case. Refilling it with kerosene and letting it run for 20 minutes. And draining it out. Cleaning out the crank case
seals yes on my 72 dogged dart rear transmission seal leaked was going to fix in mom's front yard BUT there were 7 different seals used. parts place had 3 took to sears auto center, walking distance from where I worked. they fixed it after waiting all day for proper seal. lucky me I didn't try on a sunday afternoon.
Scotty's click bait cracks me up. What a character.
route a wiper fluid hose into the intake then while driving hard you can give it a few sprays. Sprays water right in the intake
Tony's "Remove the sway bar for fun" garage
I had a filler hose that I could not get back on because it was so hard, I soaked it in used motor oil I had, you wouldnt believe how pliable it became.
Always consult the elastomer compatibility charts!
Yeah that and dumping sawdust into rear ends to quiet them down
Uncle Tony, you should have a shirt that states "Like I sez".
Brake fluid seals swell up if petroleum based fluid is put in the reservoir.
It seizes up the master cylinder. I learned this on a Saturn when I accidentally added non-brake fluid to the wrong place. It froze the piston and the brakes did not engage.
I got lucky by vacuuming out the reservoir and putting fresh brake fluid.
Serious damage avoided.
Later on the ABS unit failed and the power brake assist quit working.
Not sure if those issues were caused by the wrong fluid.
Brake fluid is not like all other lubricants.
Dana "60" Glass. Seafoam works to decarbonize an old motor. Used it for years with great results. Also takes away the corosive effects of ethynol fuels preventing drying out the insides of carbs and rubber fuel lines. Never use brake fluid for anything other than your brake system.
Yup! ive done both of those tricks multiple times back in the day. Hey, do an old body man / painter / detailer a favor and take the brake fluid OFF THE HOOD OF YOUR JEEP before I pass out. hahaha Thank you. Great video, like always Uncle Tony!
I didn't use to employ the water technique (although I knew about it), but rather I used GM's Top End Cleaner for the job. It worked! :-)
So much maintenance of all systems is about chemistry!!
I like Scotty too. Clickbait and all. He’s got a great personality, saw an opportunity to go public and made himself a little empire. I have tremendous respect for that kind of hard work.
Remember the old ads. Are sticky valves riding with you tonight?
Heads up uncle Tony!!! There is a 1964 slant six 225 on Facebook right now! For $100. In carpenter vill Illinois, looks amazing!
