DIY Woodgrain by Stewart Schooley
Greetings, Here are some photos of a DIY woodgrain method I developed for the restoration of old radios. Many radios of the 1930s had a photo print on them instead of real wood veneer and restoring these cheaply has been impossible until now. First photo shows DIY woodgrain paper. The radio on...

I have the opportunity to obtain a vehicle with a Cadillac 429 engine in it. I know next to nothing about these engines other than they were made from '64-'67 (I think). Therefore I have some questions: 1) Was the design of this engine 'good' or did it have problems? 2) Was it considered a...
