Everyone knows about the “here is your hobby car customizing” book. I never knew there was a whole series of them. Got a start on a collection
56 Chevy bits 303 olds 261 Chevy cam Desoto grill pieces Stude bumper overider Ford OD trans And these headlights from a member that’s getting rid of extras There’s another 235 I’ll end up with not pictured.
picked up exactly what I have been looking for, a really nice Hurst Comp/+ for the now rebuilt M21. A bonus is the big letter stick.
According to the handy dandy wheel measuring tool I picked up yesterday, there are 2 16x5 and 2 16x4 wheels on the truck axles I just picked up score
Asked for and received this fuse box display/holder for Christmas, since all the cool kids seem to have them now. This one is a bit newer than the others shown here but it also has the most capacity and fits perfectly in the limited wall space I had available for it. Came with a few fuse cases but most I already had.
Mark you did a great job on the shifter and I would never know the difference between it and a new one!
Trying to hold back on buying old car magazines but these mid 60's model car mags and a 1957 Almquist catalog had to be rescued
So do you use the Vista wax in these cans to polish and wax the exterior of these Vista wax cans? I mean, if so, that would be so Zen or existential or something like that . . . wouldn't it?
I did open one can and the wax inside is like new. Completely usable, pretty good considering it was made in 1959
Scored a very nice pair of Fenton caps for the 15x8s I have for the '55 right here on the HAMB. So now I have the 4 I am using and a spare. Now to figure out what color blue to use around the letters. Maybe Pontiac engine blue.
^^ That's cool. Wisconsin is so far removed from a place where any kind of work station or storage cabinets can exist outside year-round.
You can see some rust on the bottom..ill get to it one day..but yeah,stuff lasts long out here... The guy whom i got these from had them sitting outside
Pattern for an Offy Midget engine, it came from Dale Drake’s estate. Around 1935 Fred Offenhauser had draftsman Leo Goossen scale down the Offenhauser to 97 cu. in, for Midget racing, later it went down to 91 cubes, or 1 1/2 liters for sports car racing. I don’t know exactly where this pattern for 85 cu. in. engines fits the timeline.
Bought this "Gland-O-Lac Poultry Medicines" clock at a thrift/antique store this week for $38. I'm always looking for meat-related stuff for the shop. This one is only tangentially related but the price was right and it fit nicely in the empty spot I had open.
