    You don't really know how good your insurance company and its coverage is until the unfortunate time comes when you need to deal with their claims department.

    Hegarty Insurance

    If you're a AAA member, check into their agreed value classic car coverage. I have two vehicles insured with them. The rates are very reasonable and, most importantly, the claim service is excellent.

    Shop ruined my '48 radiator tanks

    Most likely, the "idiots" shut down the auto shop class due to lack of interest on the part of the student body. In this day and age the kids know that they can do much better writing code for computer games and other software than they can getting their hands dirty working on automobiles.

    Big Claude Hoppers- Size 12

    Try a pair of race car drivers' shoes. They feel very light on the feet and the soles blend with the uppers and don't protrude out the sides like regular shoes. Summit Racing has a large selection. I wear a size 12 and they work for me........

    Bucking like a horse

    That five year old gas left standing has turned to gum and varnish in your fuel system.

    I have all of my cars insured with AAA Auto Club, two DD's, and two ol' heaps on their classic coverage. The classic policy is very reasonably priced and the claims service is outstanding.

    Loss of Hot Rod Deluxe

    No scam. TEN Publishing is still in business and, according to what I have read on other sites, if you contact them and ask for a refund of the unused part of the subscription, they will cheerfully comply.

    Warning about c&g

    I've been buying stuff from C & G on and off for the best part of 30 years and have never, ever had an issue, and that's all the way back to when Clyde and Gail were running the show with Dorothy and Kyle assisting.

    40 V8 compression change all cylinders same time

    Do a leak-down test on each cylinder with compressed air. That will give you an idea of the path that your cylinder pressure is using to make its escape.

    Chemical Dip Needed

    L & M stripped all of my sheet metal including the body in '86. Everything came out assembly-line clean with no warpage or any other potential damage from blasting. Keep in mind that if you do the chem dip, meticulous cleaning must be done afterwards to remove ALL of the residue or, in time...
