Caps on those lakes pipes gives me an idea for my own car. Been wanting to modify my lakes pipes to stay fully installed with material removed to allow exhaust flow while providing some baffling. That style could easily be done that way with slots on the back. And Mooneyes still sells similar
I saw the munsters mobile at a car show that barris built an it was pretty cobbled together you'd have to look real hard at it to make a call.
Terrible reproduction of the '58 plate. 'Green' color is wrong (too blue) and the year was a sticker, not embossed into the plate. If you are using an original plate for YOM, the sticker isn't needed anymore. If a plate number appears on the title, it will be the one seen in the 'pre-custom' pictures. '58 was a big change. Plate size went from the long skinny size to the now-standard 'modern' size, and the plates were county-coded by population. 'A' was King county, being the largest. Year identification was now stickers, serial numbered to the car. This design only lasted until '62 as the green plate/white letter didn't offer the best visibility. In '63 they were replaced with the 'WASH 63' design with green letters on a white plate, also the last time they embossed the year into the plate. This plate (with yearly renewal stickers) was used through '67, in '68 it was replaced with white/green letter reflective plates for new issues only. All existing '63 plates were used until '85, in '86 the state did a global replacement, everyone got new plates.
Absolutely. Spent some time with him at Lead East. Still have the sketches and shirt that he gave me.
Correct... hand sweat will leave contamination on bare metal, but only fingerprints, not etching, on paint.
