Re: Diesel Conversion
I saw a car at Reningers a few years ago (perhaps the owner is on here) that was converted to all electric. I thought that one was pretty interesting as well.

Re: Fire Truck Caught on Fire
Yikes, hope it wasnt too bad.
I once did a home repair to the local fire chiefs house, his bathroom caught on fire from an unattended candle!

Re: NOS paint thickness
Would be nice to see some original paint examples. I would imagine they put on just what was needed. And yes, most aspects of a car are over restored today. In defense, its what people expect though....

Re: Insurance policy w/o liability?
I dont see where actual cost of parts to labor is relevant to insurance cost/value on an agreed value policy. My experience with Grundy is, I told the amount I wanted, sent them the required pics of...

Re: Insurance policy w/o liability?
I agree with you not wanting to double pay, but like the previous answers I dont think that full coverage with a specialty carrier is all that expensive. The one thing you may want to double check on...

Re: A working Sedan Delivery
I bet the tooling on the side wall weighs more than 400lb!
I suppose they could have rigged up power somehow to pull off of the customers shop whilst making a sales call. Even if it was wired...

Re: 68C and A400
Hydroplating at one time was used quite extensively in the custom motocycle/chopper industry when those things were hot. I have seen wheel rims, gas tanks, fenders, helmets, pretty much anything that...

Re: Crazy temp gauge idea
Blown Gasket, I am the opposite (though a mere youngster at 57). I try not to let stuff bother me like it used to. Not saying Im stress free but I try my hardest to be. As far as car breakdowns, I...

Re: Signs, back in the day
Theres a development in my area in which all of the street signs are 4 x 4's with vertical names. Nothing was laid out square, and it meanders through the woods, quite extensively. The way the signs...

Re: Sound deadening Q ?
Dynamat comes in different thickness's I believe. At least when I did my car a few years it did. There is also a product called lizard skin which is supposed to be very good. Both are expensive, I...

Re: Repair of Soft Wood
Agree and disagree with Brent. Agree that a filler is not the way to go. Disagree that its ok to use such a product on a house. Then again I have made a decent living out of repairing rot on...

I would welcome the cats (and im a dog person) to keep the mice under control. Ventilation underneath is not a bad idea, it will keep the rot at bay, but you could install something solid at the...

Re: AAA for breakdowns in antique?
ps, that sounds like a less than delightful experience. I think I would have told him to leave and call AAA and request another tow truck. At least you took the high road and gave him a tip though,...

Re: AAA for breakdowns in antique?
I suppose the answer is yes, AAA covers the person holding the policy, not the vehicle. I broke down last summer in my dd. I did not realize I was on the auto renewal program and my policy was...

Re: Tim to sell the old girl
