That is what I was assuming and that is why I put it on here I have been looking for months.

sorry I should of put the brand in it. It is an oaks and all I am looking for is a cylinder and key. My lock is for a rear mounted spare it is the car in my avatar Thank you for the help

My spare tire lock froze up and and the only way I could get the spare tire lock was to drill it out. My lock part number is A-18305-d. Is there anyone out there that has a key and lock assembly or know of someone who can help me with it? Thank you and I look forward to the help.

I was just thinking about that car earlier this week what a coincidence! I still have my fathers old restorer magazines with it in them and remember them well. Really nice to see the video of it, it is in better shape than I would expect it to be after nearly 70 years.

Yet you bring it up make an argumentative statement and then say we can't discuss it here? There is plenty of climate data to prove you wrong and also why we sold the house in Naples after Irma, from what I am told by the new owner was flooded this time and last time was light damage.

Re: Where’s Paul Shinn? I think you are right we need to bury this and move on like it didn't happen. Paul has had ample time to back up his claim in a video that no longer exists about a product that burtz is desperate to back up if it is wrong. I say any doubts I had about the burtz block...

Re: Where’s Paul Shinn? Early on in that whole thread before things settled down hm made a post that said something like that. After that it looked like they were or are moving forward. I hope so

Well a model a can be repaired after being in salt water with out much issues unlike new cars that won't even be good parts cars. Did anyone see the article on the flooded McLaren?

If you would like I can take a few photos of my setup buffer pads and compound for you. Also if you would like I could send you a link to a web meeting and show nuou how to buff out the paint. Just let me know.

You will need to take it to 3000 grit and get a buffer you will never get the finish you want without it. Go to griots garage they have some nice packages for buffers compounds and foam pads don't use wool pads or you will bun through. Wool is for experts

I had to make this exact decision in 1980 and decide to bail mechanical engineering and have not regretted it one damn day. I realized I can hire software engineers, lawyers and salesman to work for me and not me for them. I am at the point now where I am ready to retire sell it all and just...

There was another thread about this issue a few years ago and Brent had a post about how he does his frames and is very good information. When I restored my roadster after a bad accident that required me to replace the frame I didn't check it and I found the issue after installing the hood and...

Car shows are why I started a cars and coffee once a month last year. I never felt comfortable at them. We have done six so far started with 25 cars and the august one we had over three hundred from model a to a three new c8 corvettes and everything in between we like them all. One young guy...

Paul, I hope the dialogue between you two has improved to the point that you can build this motor and make a video of it, really want to see one so I know what to ask my engine builder. Onward and upward.
