New Brunswick, Canada, has lots of covered bridges. http://64.118.87.14/~nblight/bridges/index.html I don't have a website for abandoned barns, but there are plenty of them as well.

Well said Phil.

Hi Jim, My Sport Coupe would not start when getting the car out of storage a couple of years ago. It took me a few attempts to notice the distributor was not rotating, "after the 3rd time checking I thought it was very odd, that the rotor cap stopped in exactly the same position each...

My 28 Sport Coupe has WW's, the 30 Town Sedan has blackwalls. I'm 42 and enjoy the looks of each equally.:)

Hi Woods, I wouldn't worry about doing your entire trip without changing the engine oil. Your only concern needs to be to keep a regular check on it to see how much if any it is going down. Ensure you have a couple of extra litres (oops quarts) with you and enjoy your trip. My experience is...

Hi Bob, We have mounted a couple of buffing pads side by side on our bench style grinder, to give as wide a surface as possible, then with the wheel spinning apply just a bit of jewelers rouge polishing compound. Don't use too much pressure on the piece.

Hi tudor, you might have some luck with a 1" fitting brush normally used for copper fittings. I usually have one of those and sometimes a 3/4" one, in the box. The 3/4" size works really nice on battery cable ends and posts.

I have used just a small piece of folded writing paper on one side of pump where it fits into the block. There is a bolt you can gently thread into the side of the block that will accomplish the same.
