I came across a set of NOS Silv-o-lite pistons at an estate sale. Didn't want to see the scrappers get them, so I drug them home. I've tried...
Around ten years or so ago, a friend and I stopped in at Sears Point (I don't care what they call it now, it's Sears Point) to watch a vintage...
^^^This^^^ It's very easy to do. I can also give you the name of a VIN verifier who's in the North Bay, but will travel to you if need be. He...
I'd check the dreaded Ebay. I sometimes see them at swaps in boxes filled with misc. emblems. Here in CA, not many dealers use them. When I see...
Another place to try www.oldcarlenses.com
I have to ask, what are you going to do with that many of them?
Much better!
I'd preserve what's there. Only exception, I'd look for another set of those steel slots, used, but not with quite so much "patina", and enjoy...
Might be interesting to see what the shops would bring out. Could be worth the trip just for that, and if all else fails, there's Sac. the next...
Heard there is a swap meet at Infineon (Sears Point) Feb 2nd. Can't find any info other than on Infineon's website. Anyone know anything?
Good to hear! +2 on the fuel system flush.
A friend who is a heavy equipment mechanic makes sculptures like that using large gears from Caterpillars. Check with heavy equipment repair shops.
Very cool. Your turn to add some more family history to it, then pass it on to a younger generation somewhere down the line. I'd buff out the...
Try Moose Motors in Penngrove, CA. The guy's got obsolete brake parts for damn near everything. No China junk. Or he can rebuild your stuff.
I picked up an Atlas 10"x54" for $400 a while ago. It came with the basic tooling, knurling tool, couple different tool holders, etc. No bench. I...
Chuck's Brake and Wheel in Santa Rosa does it. Not sure what they call it, but it's the only way they do it there, with the wheels on the car....
Wow!!! One of my favorite 50's cars. And the hubcaps on the front seat waiting for the day it's on the road again. Very cool!
I use Sherm's Plating in Sacramento. They have three different levels of polishing, Street, Show, and Stupid Money, (or something like that :p)....
How about those great old motorhomes built by Clark Industries. Front drive/flat floor, low profile. Condor I think maight have been the name....
Good to know it will be saved. Reminds me of Mad Max-Beyond Thunderdome with the Mack B running on rails.
I was given a Unity spotlight, Model H1. It is partially disassembled. I've got it figured out other than is the bulb supposed to have a rubber...
Nice save! If it were mine, even if those windows are not factory, as long as they were cleanly done, I think I would leave them there. Did you...
Do what needs to be done to make it a reliable runner. Polish what paint and chrome is already there, and drive it. Or sell it to someone who...
15 inch slots, Nice score!
+1000. Had a very nice paint job ruined from the acid leaching out of the seams. Although the dippers claim they neutralize the acid, they...
Glad you could save what you did. With money tight and scrap prices high, a lot of good stuff goes to China every day.
Caswell Plating sells a two part epoxy type tank sealer that I've used twice now with great results. I've heard nothing but good about the stuff...
Try the trick a neighbor pulled. Soak it with gas and set it on fire. :mad:
