I think GAZ may be right about it being an AUDI Wanderer. However the swing- out windshield, no running boards. rag top storage, side hood dual...
I stumbled upon these photos and wondered what brand classy car this is . Looks to be a 1934-36.
The photo is of my Grandpa standing next to his [ATTACH] 1920 Silver Ghost,in Plymouth, England. Recently acquired a Franklin Mint die cast model...
Rusty, Nice Christmas season mantle display. The wreath on the trailer door is a nice touch.
Rudestude, I like they way you think. You are dead on. I did have a 55 Chevy wagon 2-dr "Shorty" made from a 4-dr. Drove it about 8 yrs every day,...
Got a nice orig. '59 Cadillac. Thought about making it a two door, two seater. Assembled a plastic model I shortened. Decided no-go. Not right....
Here is a Hubley . Guessing 1932 V8 Deluxe 3-window
Took awhile to round up this group of eight. The powder blue is the most rare. There many fakes out there. Make sure on the bottom it has raised...
My son uses this rickshaw? as a work bench in his shop
I thought the same thing when I read about it. At the time they were clocked going through town. Maybe main street was marked for horseback riders...
This 1896 Benz Velo arrived last week. 8-1/2" and 5-1/4' tall. Been looking for this heavy tin model for 36 years. Reason is my Great Grandfather...
Thanks for the wake-up call. I was having a bad dream.
I'm trying to justify travelling 1300 miles round trip to look at a custom 1955 Chevy. It is now a 2-dr. Was a four door sedan/post. It has been...
Steve, Took your advice. Just returned from the hardware store. Couplings are 2-1/4" long, and the nuts I won't be using are only 5/8" long. I do...
Crazy Steve. I like your idea. Cut-off wheel should do the trick with a 7018 electrode to weld ends to thick wall pipe. Laroke the McMaster-Carr...
I made a trunnion front coil spring compressor/decompressor using 6" diameter pipe and 3/4" threaded rod. I need a 1-1/8 " deep well socket that...
Today, mounted these valve covers and intake on an AMC 390 V8. Fresh rebuild.
Owned/driven about ten cars from the 30's to early 60's. Found an empty f'glass carcus in a field in Monteray, Ca, and made it into a custom with...
Wanted you all to know I appreciate the suggestions. The advice didn't go in one ear and out the other...put them to good use. Used an aluminum...
It just so happens today I purchased wood craft sticks (tongue depressors) from Michaels Craft Supply Store. I use contact cement to adhere...
WOW! Thanks for all the great ideas. The collective brainstorming on this forum reminds me of how "TEAM SCORPION" works together in the TV series....
Thanks guys. This has been the go-to forum when it comes to being mechanically creative and thinking outside the box. Thanks for all the input....
Trying to fit a 60's AMC intake manifold on 70's heads. The center two holes on each side need slotting/milling to line up. AMC in their wisdom...
Always wanted a 1964 Facel Vega II with MOPAR 383. Love your wagon concept. How do I order one?
The exhaust manifolds are cast iron free-flow exhaust manifolds. The block is a 390, forged crank and forged rods.
John Gizzi, Thank you for the lucid explanation of cutting a nut off a bolt. I have done this several times especially with rusted bolts(1/2" -...
I went to Heli-coil's site and the 304 stainless steel heli-coil is good up to 800 degrees. On a non-turbo engine the exhaust manifold operating...
Thanks everyone! I appreciate the wisdom and experience members share with other members in need of advice.
Paul, Thanks for the suggestion. I will probably do as you suggested. Less chance of failure.
The hole drilled is about 1/32" off center and is a blind hole. Heli-coil sounds like the best option. Thanks
