Lever-action shocks were common on the British cars, and changing the thickness of the oil in them was standard practice. There was also a...

They make very cheap battery powered toothbrushes that would be perfect for getting rid of old wax in tight spaces, save a lot of elbow grease. I...
X2 flexble patterns. IRRC the first layer is a flexible film, second layer is very strong, non-flexible packing tape. No cutting, folding or...
I didn't see any graffiti or hoodlums flipping gang signs.
Aftermarket for a boat, but I have seen similar on old open touring cars, on a stanchion on the running board
Bob Rufi had something to do with the car -- similar connections as the Spurgin-Giovanine roadster, via the Albata club. Good reading here:...
Re that link at #19, I reckon a momentary switch for the starting capacitor would solve the problem of burning up a motor after a power failure....
Oldtin, In you album there's an image labeled a scan. Is this a scan of a photo or ? Could you comment on any advantage (other than cost) of...
I have actually put a radiator hose over the M/C and blown on it to start the gravity bleeding. Worked fine, fluid came right out the bleeders.
I paid $100 off CL which is what it's worth. The 30" is rated only 20 gauge, the 40" only 18 ga. and 50" 16 ga. IIRC. Violate these limits and...
[IMG] Better pic of the Scripps-Booth, weighs 3,200 lbs. Love the radiator!

I would love to know more about that engine in the Flatiron, if only to correct the mis-information I posted above. Perkins did not exist until...
Nat Geo Channel is competing with shows about the technology of WW2. Saw the recreation of the German Horten twin-jet stealth fighter and the...
Thank you, a little searching shows two were built and entered in the first British GP in 1926, but weren't ready in time. They originally had...
If you use glass beads, make sure they are less than 0.5 mm [ .020 in. ] Beads go all the way up to .080 in. [ 2 mm ] but larger ones are for...
I'm familiar with BABS, but what is the smallest car?
Don't look at the bodies, they've been crashed, bashed, updated, backdated and recreated. Look at suspensions, wheels and engines to become an...
Be sure the engine block and head are well grounded.
At the end of that video, they pushed it back to the shop, right down city streets, about 8 blocks away. There were plenty of volunteers!
I understand it's accepted for next year's Pebble Beach, and will appear again at the Ventura show in July.
X2, then chuck it up in a drill press and put concentric stripes on it.
California can top all the other States: 10% sales tax on used cars, AND if you move there and bring your car, you have to pay sales tax if you...
These are to offset the constant tiny loss of an ECU in a modern car that sits unused for a month or three. Don't expect them to actually power...
I reckon SC might mean "State Car"
Two drops of dish soap works for me, might not be as permanent as Lith. grease.
I'm not convinced that needle valve on the bottom of the tank is rated for gasoline. Looks like what they use for water in icemakers and swamp...
That race had an "American" in it, Alexander "Todd" Orley, driving the first Veritas single-seater. He was a Russian immigrant to the US.
