    movie star

    In the early '80s, I made around $1,000 having my 55 Chevy conv filmed for several TV ads for a local parts store. It was fun and I got a vhs tape with the footage.

    Drake 40 dlx headlamp rims (bezels)

    I had a friend who owned a chrome shop in Portland back in the 90s. EPA (or maybe state DEQ) were on site every day for inspections! Proper handling and disposal was an expensive part of the process

    1940 coupe trunk handle won't open

    They're on back order (surprize). C & G said they've had them on order for 3 months, but couldn't tell me if the ones they stock were Drake or Vintique

    1940 coupe trunk handle won't open

    I took a stab at it. But the way my car is upholstered, I risked doing a lot more damage going that route. Frustrated! And not being able to diagnose what was going on...��

    1940 coupe trunk handle won't open

    Anyone available to look at a car on Long Island?

    It's like home inspections. The pros kind of know their stuff, but pick up on obvious problems and still miss plenty. It would take a really dedicated pro to go over everything and not just take a cursory review and call it good. As others have said, best to see for yourself

    Scam

    If you got your money back without returning the part, you are a thief. Just as if someone sent money and never got the part. The only "2 sides" to this story is the disagreement on the quality/condition of the part.

    Loss of Hot Rod Deluxe

    Warning - Sophisticated Scammer Trolling the Want Adds

    Unfortunately, police can't catch a scammer at Western Union. The way it works, is like money in the cloud. You send money to WU. The recipient can go to any WU in the world to receive the cash. That's why scammers use it. You might think the guy is in Reno (or wherever), but he can actually...

    Michigan classic car laws help ?

    Classic insurance and YOM registration almost always allow you to drive to a repair shop (an exception to the "parade" and car club type activity. I'm always "on my way to or from AutoZone" or something...

    Brake fluid

    I'm thinking about switching from silicone back to dot 3/4. When you say it needs to be flushed, does it need to be rinsed out with alcohol or something? Or can I just run a lot of the new fluid through the system?
