I think Hubleys were made in Lancaster PA. I have a whole collection of them in boxes in the basement. I know I had a woody, a vicky, and a phaeton. I am thinking there was either a tudor or a fordor as well. Along with a couple more of other brands. They were fun to build. There was a good bit...

I was on one forum that everyone bashed wd40, I have been using the stuff for years and have never had a problem. I do use pb blaster for difficult rusty situations, will give this a try.

Looks like a nice trailer Carbone! being the typical internet advisor (lol) I was gonna say thats a pretty big trailer, hope you have experience, but seeing that RV I think that little box will cruise easily down the road. Do you have it ordered? just a curiosity as I have heard elsewhere that...

All great ideas, I like Brads very much. Do any of your guys have a car under restoration that is transportable? Seeing a car being built/in progress will stand out amongst all of the other restored cars at the show.

I have never put a drop of additive in any motor. I keep my cars forever. I just retired my 06 f150 with 300,000. Expedition is pushing 200k. My 'antique' will sit for awhile, I start it at least once a month to keep the battery charged. All of my vehicles get a service at least every 5k miles.

I am glad things are working out for you. As far as a salvage title, I dont think I would willingly buy a car with one, however as has been stated I would surmise about 90% of old cars have been thoroughly rebuilt enough (mine included) to warrant a salvage title. My only problem with having one...

[/B] Just an fyi, these shipping containers are very easily broken into. We used to use them on our jobsites. After we lost about $15k worth of tools we would only put material in them and clearly mark NO TOOLS. One had a $50 padlock that was supposed to be theft proof. It was, the thief cut...

The big problem with the buy back is now I would surmise the car will have a salvage title? May effect future values and did you check to see if it can be insured with such?

To the OP, if you are trying to revive those cracked tires you will be better off getting new. I would never run an old tire especially one that has dry rotted. Perhaps you are trying to prevent this from happening to the new set you get in the future. Seems like a lot of home remedies and...

So sorry to hear, hope you are ok. Flying objects are always a danger, who would've thought it would be the back seat! An insurance update would def be good as per Keith. There was a fellow on another forum that had major front end damage to his antique auto. In the end he did all of the work...

Can you rent a mini warehouse building? Depending on the level of restoration and the weather conditions during the outside storage options may vary. If its going to be relatively dry and somewhat warm, not exposed to any more than typical windy days a good cover should be fine. I would not...

I do not own an A but desire to. I have been looking (not seriously, no room right now) for the last 5 yrs or so. I check hemmings mostly, keep an eye out for auction prices, and any classifieds. I would say that the values were indeed down, but as of late they seem to be on the rise ever so...

I would build a plywood box and pack it in foam or bubble wrap to keep it from bouncy around too much. If its under the weight limit you can ship it ups or fed ex. If its too heavy fed ex ground. My wife just sent a hand bag in a small cardboard box less than 150 miles and it cost $25!!! I doubt...

I have Grundy and spoke with them on the phone when I got the policy. They allow driving your car at anytime for just about anything. You cannot use it for daily use and you cannot use it for work. But if you want to go out for ice cream on a wednesday night thats fine. They told me that 'they...

This was the same theory on another forum I peruse. There was a seller with a gas tank that was something stupid like $12,000.
