Re: Mid atlantic pre war swap meet luray I hope this pipeline fuel scare doesn't mess thing up. I am really looking forward to going.

Re: Mid atlantic pre war swap meet luray There shouldn't be any problems with gas supply, although the prices may have gone up a bit. Hopefully they will be back on line in a few days. Otherwise, bring your electric car!

Re: Mid atlantic pre war swap meet luray I drove from williamsburg to Richmond yesterday. You can find gas.
Everyone has diesel. |
Re: Mid atlantic pre war swap meet luray "Everyone has diesel."
Good for those who use diesel. My Ford Focus goes 330 miles on a tank, or so it tells me. I had half a tank, so I figured I had better go out with the rest of the knuckleheads and fill up so I could get to Luray and back (200 miles). The first station I went to (Shell) was out. I was heading to Costco when I passed a Sunoco with a few cars waiting, so I went there. Price was 2.79, so not gouging. When I got to the pump, there was a box truck on the other side and the gas was barely coming out of the pump. It took me five minutes to get half a gallon. When the guy with the box truck finished, I got normal flow. I have never experienced that before. Turns out Costco was all out anyway, so I was lucky. I only needed about 7 gallons to fill my tank, so between all my antique cars, I figured I could get that much if I needed to go that route. Thankfully, I didn't need to. I am glad the pipeline is flowing again, but it will take a few days to replenish. |
Re: Mid atlantic pre war swap meet luray anybody go to this meet today? Were there any model a parts to be had? Thinking about taking a road trip in the morning to see what is left.

Mostly Model T parts. There was a Model A chassis and a cabriolet for sale and some vendors had A parts. There are some pics on another thread. I will post mine, but they are not very informative.

Re: Mid atlantic pre war swap meet luray What a great day with the Model Ters. 50+ dealers and parts every where. Plenty of dogs everywhere wanting our tasty egg sandwiches. Good to see you Milford. Task for chatting with Skip an hearing about his '22 T touring.
There was a guy with 3 ???(Drug?). A strap in a roll which installed between the axles and the car body ?? Whazit?? Something abut holding the car together in big bumps??? Clem |
Re: Mid atlantic pre war swap meet luray I have some pictures but don't know how to post.

Re: Mid atlantic pre war swap meet luray Sounds like you're describing a "rebound" shock absorber - Hassler, Gabriel, Ford & others put out such a contraption.
|
Re: Mid atlantic pre war swap meet luray Stevests, I think you have it. I wasn't perceptive enough to figure out what in the world he was talking about. There were some Hassler or other shots for sale there.
|
Re: Mid atlantic pre war swap meet luray I have a photo of them. I'll send them to you Milford

Here is the pic Clem sent. Not Hassler "shocks". Look like canisters of some sort. I do not know what they are.
|
Re: Mid atlantic pre war swap meet luray If you are describing the 3 items on the trailer fender, they look like either Gabriel or Watson 'snubbers'. Shock absorbers.

Re: Mid atlantic pre war swap meet luray Thanks guys. That dealer had some fine stuff!! I bought a "Railroad engineers oiling can:
The long snout kind to reach side rod bearings. Funny though, the diameter of the can was extra big and it had no handle! Also a neato hammer with a smashed head. We had a great time. No lies were retold... |
Re: Mid atlantic pre war swap meet luray How did miss each other Clem? Your crew stopped by and said hello,
