Thanks. Wish I could lay claim to the work. I bought it as a "restored" truck. The body and interior were beautifully restored, but the chassis was a worn-out hunk of junk. The PO had added 3 full width leaf springs in the front and removed 5 from the back. It was godawful to drive. I actually...

Nice gaps. I can't seem to get my hood to fit right. Yours is much better.

The Budd wheels on my new, to me, '33 Continental Flyer are wobbly. Actually, one is true, two are marginal and two are wobbly. Who can straighten these for me? Makes no sense to put new tires on wobbly wheels.

Great explanation. Thank you.

My '41 has an ignition resistor that's been bypassed. It has a modern coil instead of the unit mounted on the distributor. Is this a correct installation?

We have a stainless steel outdoor sculpture that rusted. The artist came out and wire brushed the rust off and it came right back. Wire brushed it again and it came back. He was totally confused as he knew the stainless shouldn't rust. I figured out that he was using iron wire wheel brushes and...

What do you recommend for getting rid of the fairly apparent leaf spring noise? I see what looks like rust dust between the leaves. I assume that that is where the noise is coming from. Thanks.

Actually, it works quite well. It's called chelation. You might want to add some heat. That speeds the process greatly.

It probably felt like it was floating because it was overinflated, causing a smaller contact patch, thus lower traction.

Dream Snooze? It sucks if you have an old or open car. They ruined the cruise by allowing diesel tour busses mingle with the cruisers. They get to sit in air conditioning living vicariously, while poisoning us with their fumes. It's too big and not fun anymore.

As there should be for parenthood. Therein lies the problem.

KBB Classics.

Having a license does't give you a work ethic.

This guy should have known better. He was an HVAC contractor mounting a piece of equipment to a rooftop unit. He pierced a wire and it blew the 100-amp fuse at the main instead of tripping the 40-amp breaker. The contractor had his helper go back to the truck for some Z rail they use to connect...
