For those of us who are a bit up in the air about whether synthetic oil has value, here's an article that contains a link to a video that seems to do a good job of explaining the differences between conventional and synthetic lubricants...

Had a transmission rebuilt last year and the bugger has started to leak from the shifter seals. Gotta replace them. What's your recommendation for a source for quality seals?

Ford's emblem blue changed in 1935 (a little brighter) and stayed that color until post war. Ron Nacewiz has a blue paint that's correct only for '32-'34. Does anyone know a source for the '35-post war color of blue paint? Thanks!
