Thanks, Yep, that I'll do.

Anyone know if the Frog Follies allows glass or other reproduction hot rods?

Anyone out there have any rusty, unloved ... even bent 1940 car bumpers they would be willing to part with? Send a picture and a price. Thanks - Vince

I agree with sugarmaker. I insured with Hagarty because I did not think I had any real choice when it came to my c-750 COE car hauler. They would insure me but would not insure it to tow. Except for the occasional load they also would not let me put anything on it except my own...

Anyone know if a set of P235/60R15's will fit in the rear wells of a '40 deluxe coupe without modifications to the car?

The only thing that a '54 Chevy can beat!

Yes, the 239 is problematic and so is the Fordomatic. Wow, I should have been a poet!

I left out that there was one ... yes, one brown leather glove. I was more worried about damaging the partition getting in through the back seat. anyhow, new locks on the way.

I pulled a '40 coupe out of a field in Tennessee last week. It's amazing how decades of sun and rain cleans a running board of all rubber. All this with no labor at all! However, this technique also, labor free, installs dozens of ventilation holes in the floor and other parts of the car...

Thanks, that may save some of us, self imposed, low budget types from having to buy new hardware!

Ventilation was the main purpose, in 1940, as the air conditioning usually only worked from late fall to early spring. Except those lucky few who could afford a 1940 Packard!

Last week I bought a "barn-find", one owner, '54 Customline. The owner had no idea where the keys were as it last saw the road in 1984. It still has '83 plates and inspection sticker. When I bought it, I was able to access everything but the trunk. Last night, with my daughter watching, I...

Another thought, have you contacted Drake to see if they offer a sender of a different ohm range that might fix your problem? LMC truck, for instance, offers the old and the new senders (ohm rating) as parts for the fuel tank relocation kit on f100 trucks.
