    Roof coating

    They probably don't even sell evaportive coolers in CT, and the season is wrong, they are disappearing from the stores here until next spring... But, they sell cheap cans of asphalt spray to stop leaks in the bottom of the coolers. Ace Hardware, Blowes, or Home Defect should have some. I'd...

    Non fitting / defective aftermarket parts

    Just to throw a little more fuel on the fire...we may live long enough to see restorers using 3-D printers to replicate parts. I just saw an auction with three of the printers for sale, so it's no longer "new" tecnology. I do understand that the cost of making a steel part with one of these is...

    uncomfortable seats

    My 31 Slant windshild Town Sedan has a comfortable front seat, but I do sink down into it a bit too much. As it has the original upholstery and springs I don't want to change it, but I was thinking of putting blocks of high density upholstery foam between the coils of the springs to stiffen up...

    electrical fuse problem

    When I was into Spridgets (MG Midget/Austin Healey Sprite), the model A of sports cars, one of our best restorers always added a "smoke test" guage to his dash. He converted an old guage, added a "test" button, and mounted a hair dryer heater smeared with grease inside the guage. A push of the...

    Not Model A... 1914 Dodge Touring

    Looks like one of the cars Black Jack Pershing used to pursue Poncho Villa aftger Pancho and his "army" attacked Columbus, NM. First use of motorized infantry in the US Army. :D

    Warning bad seller on FordBarn

    Only if he returns the money and the cost of shipping, otherwise, he risks his original price, original shipping, and the return shipping cost. He have shipped them back with a COD to cover the costs, but if the seller didn't agree, it would probably only result in his having to pay the...

    OT - Show on maintaining old cars in Cuba

    The "reality" car shows are usually just too much BS put together quickly by a producer. "restored" cars selling for high prices with no headliner installed. An explaination of Turbocharging by the owner of the shop informing us that the turbo takes the spent exhaust gas and runs in back up to...
