My boyfriend has an old car from his teenage years that he’s always wanted to fix up. He’s a handy man and already has a ton of tools. But I really want to get him a good gift that he might not realize he needs until he’s in the process of fixing it up.

For instance, he was talking to a friend who suggested getting a little camera on a wire that can feed into the engine. He was so excited about this but said he’s gonna go ahead and buy it. I’m looking for something like that, that he might not realize he needs yet.

Car stuff is like a second language to me so I thought I’d check here.

TIA

My old man had some cool cars from back in the day. The Willys, 55 Nomad, 56 Chevy truck, 65 GTO. Also the 67 AZ junior dirtbike champ. This was the only photo I was able to find out of all the cars he had and things he did

Good evening, I am recently blind as of last year and I found out last week that my dad was able to buy himself a 1947 Chevrolet coupe. He calls it a hot rod, I believe I have some sort of idea of what it would look like, because I’m only recently blind I am familiar with older cars, but not really to the degree that he is, but apparently this particular car has been a lifelong dream of his to own and he was able to buy this one when the former owner who was restoring the vehicle Passed away five years ago and then the family were finally able to sell it after it sat for five years and their garage covered.

So all that being said, this is currently still an ongoing restore project that my dad has now taken over and he’s very good at the mechanical and engine aspects of the restoration because of his lifelong career doing such. And my question is without trying to buy him or come up with ideas of Actual parts for the vehicle to buy him, because I wouldn’t want to get him something it already has that does not need to be replaced, or some part that would be better to find stock, etc., I’m trying to come up with ideas that would be good for a person in my dad‘s position. I don’t know if there are special little knickknacks for the car, because I’m really bad at this and while my dad has been a fan of cars like this his whole life, I haven’t really been involved in that world. It could be something as simple as dice for the rearview mirror if it even has such a thing , special floor mats that won’t be like buying your dad, a super ugly tie that he has to grit his teeth and say he loves, ha ha.

I know I’m being a bit vague here because it’s not like I expect you guys to know my dad and what he would like but I’m trying to think of general ideas that someone in his position might be able to appreciate and have a little fun with, even if it’s a T-shirt that features the car or something like that, or a special collectors book made on Those models of cars or something. Or special hot rod, racing gloves or something, I can think of any stupid thing and I have no idea of such things or even desirable. That’s why I’m coming here to the Pros.

I was able to get a hold of a snapshot that he sent my brother who forwarded it to me, but I am currently unable to post it because of technical limitations I have with being blind and the screen the screen reader I use and the Reddit app that I am using when it comes to posting pictures, as well as trying to find the picture on my phone. Like I said I’m recently blind, and I’m not quite up to speed on all of the technological aspects of it not as well as I used to be before going blind.

Anyway, if you have read this far, I appreciate you reading. If there’s a lot of strange wording in any of the sentences above, I apologize for that. I am using voice to text to compose this message because I do not have a keyboard on this device so there could be auto correct shenanigans, and the lake. But if this made sense, and if this type of post is Welcome on the forum that I appreciate any brief ideas that I could think of, and if post like this are not welcome on the form that I apologize for getting in the way and wasting everybody’s time. Have a great day.

I have a 55 buick (RWD) I am needing to transport about 150 miles. The car cannot be started for a variety of reasons. I have a truck and access to a car trailer, but no winch.

Someone smart but maybe out the box.... how do I get the car on the trailer?

I know I could use a dolly, but my understanding is I would need to disconnect the drive shaft and idk how, never done that before...

I recently inherited a 1964 ford galaxie with a 427. I don’t know much about cars so does anyone know of any manuals or advice on how to learn about this engine?

Found this in the trees on a walk this past week...don't want to go off the trail as the cars likely on private property

Spotted these beauties this morning....
