Polyurethane does not have UV protection. But SPAR Polyurethane does. It's for boats, after all, which see a lot of sun. I used it on my truck's...
My youth was misspent on Corvairs and Sunbeams, so I really dig oddball stuff. And they don't get much odder than this! I love all your little...
Well, despite my speedster being back on the road and participating in club events, not to mention @Hitchhiker ’s ongoing shop move, progress has...
I've successfully repaired similar, and I'm a rank amateur. Weld the holes, and fill the pits with USC All Metal. [ATTACH]
@K13 nailed it. Here's a pic from the link he provided: [ATTACH]
Take a section of old speedometer cable or 1/4" wire cable and chuck it into an electric drill. Feed the cable down the water jacket holes and run...
The cylinder you describe (10" diameter, 20" long) would hold 6.8 gallons, according to this online Tank Volume Calculator.
Here's what I learned: Anytime you have an unusual title situation, use the DMV office that is closest to the state patrol inspection station....
I really like the look of original A shells, particularly the early style. I was going to run one on my '29 PU, until I stumbled on an original...
So far I've found two Fultons in my buying travels. Both were plastic. One was at a garage sale. Actually, my wife found that one. When she saw...
OK, what the heck. I'm reviving this old thread to alert y'all that the 100th anniversary installment of the Pig-N-Ford Races are happening right...
Generally, if you tell people you have "a speedster" they will assume you drive a Porsche. Anymore, I just tell people I have an early '20s...
Sad to hear. He was a good guy to engage with, and had a lot of spirit. Thank you for letting us know, so we can mourn his passing and celebrate...
All I know is, if you actually want to sell a set of these, you'd better call them hubcaps. Because to 99% of today's shoppers, this is a wheel...
I do swap meets. Deals like this I take it all, keep what I want, the rest goes to the meets “priced to sell.” Anything left after 4 meets is...
Gibbs oil, for sure. Spray or wipe on. Can be painted over later if need be (unlike or Armor All, which I believe is silicone based). [ATTACH]
Here's a great thread by @badshifter that walks you through the process of dropping a headlight bar. It's pretty straightforward....
If you're looking for a simple solution, Ospho is it. And since you ask, you don't need to rinse it with water. I've also had decent results with...
Try listing it as a Falcon. Maybe nobody will notice. :rolleyes:
Found at a sale for less than a pair of rebuild kits. Crammed full of NOS parts. Sometimes you get lucky. [ATTACH]
If that burger had been stored in a barn for 20 years, your offer might have been accepted. Although come to think of it, new old stock often...
I sell at swap meets. I get lowball offers all the time. Sometimes I can bring them up to what I want, sometimes I let them walk. But I've never...
Blind holes definitely suggests earlier. Also, I believe the ring gear on an 8ba is 5/8" wide, whereas earlier ring gear is 7/8" wide. So that is...
Wow, your tape results reminds me of removing a price tag from a newly purchased and valuable swap meet part (why the hell do sellers put sticky...
Depending on what the part is, maybe you could trade with somebody who has a funky one and wants to upgrade to shiny.
Well, it was all good in the end. After a disappointing sales day on our rainy Saturday, the sun came out and I had probably my best Monroe Sunday...
I found a few things; a pair of Edmunds air cleaners for my AV8 project, and a really straight AA shell that was too cheap to walk a way from and...
I'm bringing good stuff, so we can hope. Come on buyers, monopolize my time!
I'll be there, selling and buying.
