I'll be 82 in 3 weeks. A 5 year cancer free survivor, colon and liver. My doctor said as lucky as I am I should take a trip to LasVegas.

I also have 2 4-post lifts and a 2 post. I use the 4 posts mostly to store 2 cars. The 2 post does it all including storing one in the air.

I have a Bend-Pak scissors lift , my latest one. Very disappointed it was made in China. The instructions were a jumble of English and misleading. It called for a 1 1/4 masonry bit which was expensive and only required a 1" which I already had. A big hammer and a lot of grinding to assemble. The...

'32 Roadster, '40 pickup (project with '40 Deluxe car front fenders, hood and grill), '50 coupe (old Bonneville car) and '48 Panel Delivery.

I ordered one last December and still don't have it. Unable to make any contact with the " foreign" vender.

That would be Dave Martin 507-358-0403. Rochester, MN

Forgot to say I had a complete '40 Deluxe front clip. Just located the fender mounting holes to the side of the cowl.

As they say, hang the hood first, which is what I did. I then grafted the sides of an old junk '39 deluxe I had. By hanging the hood first I could then see it only required small pieces on the cowl sides to match the hood contour. The "hood V" fit just fine. I think Bob Drake sells the cowl...

I found the engine mounting dimension incorrect. I used an 8BA.

I always thought it was to either keep the chickens out or in some parts of the country to keep them in. Coupes are for chickens. I have a roadster.

When Henry introduced the new 1928 Model A it was really new. It was a 1931 slant windshield Model A. Series is full of crap like that.

I use (2) 2x12s to support the pan rails and fasten together at ends with suitable length 2x6s to keep stable. Added casters later screwed to the underside. Notch 2x12s as needed.

If the zerk is bottomed out it will prevent grease form flowing. Back out a little and see if that works. Worked for me.

I used a 4" crank and 3 3/4 pistons. 2 head gaskets make for the proper clearance and just right compression. I run in my flathead vintage dragster. I can leave the line at 3500 rpm and spin the tires too much. 3000 is about right. No problems YET!

I can agree with Jeff. They have a collector car auction once a year in Hamilton that is first class. I sold my '50 Ford there last year and was very satisfied. An all day deal that lasted well past 8:00 pm.
