Re: Get those Trailer Queens of the trailer and USE them

With what looks like a leg trap hanging from the front bumper, I'm guessing that's the tracker's seat?

My Grandfather used to tell of hunting coyotes in a T. He'd drive through the fields with the...

Re: This guy thought I was nuts.

It's not that I have to always be right. I have to hear you tell me I'm right.

In reality: I actually thought I knew a little about A's....

Re: Get those Trailer Queens of the trailer and USE them

I'll be driving mine and waving to folks, exposing the masses to my little piece of history. And if my headlight adjustment screw isn't 'correct,' they'll never know or care.

Re: ID hinge pin accessory mount?

Thanks, guys.

Paul, that theory matches the rest of the car! Bet your right.

ID hinge pin accessory mount?

Hi all,

Can anyone ID this hinge pin mount? It doesn't look like any mirror mount I've seen in my limited experience.

Actually, to me it looks like an old-school AM antenna mount...

It's...

Re: Spark plug

Brian, hope you don't mind if I jump in here...

I've got 4 used champion w-18s I found under the seat, but 4 AC C77 plugs installed.

What is the collective wisdom on the AC plugs?

Thanks in...

Re: Battery Maintainer/Charger Recommendations Please

Brad, I'm curious... Why did you wire up the cigarette lighter plug when the maintainer has two-prong trailer plugs inline? And the trailer plugs have weather-resistant caps, too.

Re: firewall crease

Mitch, I bow to your experience, but just for clarification... When I first read the OP I thought he was talking about the formed ridges. And I think that is what you are referring to in your reply. ...

Re: Battery Maintainer/Charger Recommendations Please

I should have asked this earlier. When I was at the auto parts store the other day I picked up a Schumacher unit for $40 that claims to do all you mentioned. It took a little over 24 hrs to trickle...

I keep those silica dryers every time I get any, but unfortunately don't have any right now that are not in use. Maybe I need to buy some electronics :)
