Re: Our first long trip. Video
Thanks,
I love my driveway, and my mountain, my neighbors are coyotes, bears and other wild life, perfect :)

29 tudor sedan rear box kit
My 29 has a rear box, very nice with a leader cover.
Well I guess I must have overloaded it, and the bracket that holds it broke.

Any idea...

Re: How a Carburetor Works
What a great vid. So nice to see the two of them together.
I wish I had something like that to show my son, but I can use the vid now.
Very cool.
Thanks

Re: Muffler
I got the stainless version, so in my case it is easy to tell. I highly recommend the stainless, it looks great, and won't rust.

Re: Break noise.
Thank you for that, I will give that a try first. I am curious as to how good the pads are, because I have never had them looked at since I got the car.

My brakes (1929 A) make an infernal squeal when I use them.
