Looks like a taxi to me. Square A Pillar at the cowl, and three hinges on the rear door. W. Michael

Marshall, Do you have to remove all the paint around the base before applying the epoxy? W. Michael

Benson, What is a punch card machine ?? HA! I still list “punch card operator” as one of my job skills on my resume, but no one has taken me up on it in quite some time ! What gives ? W. Michael

PM sent. W. Michael

Thanks, Bill, but make it simpler for my simple mind. Yes, that looks the same as my unit. BOTH red wires to ground? So the red on the output end doesn't really go to the light--it goes to the ground? I can't really understand why there are two ground wires. That could be handled inside the...

OK, I bought the GS-100A. Of course, it comes with no instructions whatsoever. How do I wire it? 6 volt, positive ground. I have a Brakelighter LED third brake light which is wired directly to the brake light switch, with a separate ground wire run directly to the frame. No turn signals...

I started fastening floorboards down after I realized that even in an easy roll over, I would be sharing space with not only the floorboards but also the battery. I also upgraded my battery hold down system. It’s only a tiny safety improvement, but I’ll take all the safety margin I can get. This...

I plan to get screws from the 28-29 headlights and try them. Those buckets are deeper so the screws should be longer and have the proper slotted heads. BB, I don’t think the 28-29 screws are longer. It is the socket that is longer to fit the deeper 28-29 buckets. And Allen head screws aren’t...

Yes, reproduction reflectors made in years past were too shallow. I purchased reflectors in approximately 2008 that are too shallow, and I am having exactly the same problem BButturff describes above. And yes, the pre focused LED bulbs do need to be clocked correctly. Shortly after I purchased...

Clem, Sorry we didn’t get to meet in person today, but your friends took very good care of our group. What a great event. THANK YOU to the George Washington Chapter for all the hard work required to make this an excellent event! W. Michael

I’M AT SULLY !! Wohoo !! It’s a beautiful place. Unfortunately it is raining, so the participation is small. Clem, I don’t see you. Where are you ?? W. Michael

Saturday, 5:39 am. ON THE ROAD TO SULLY !!!!! W. Michael

Three days until Sully! W. Michael

Seven days until Sully! The Coupe is fully serviced and ready. I still need to give it a bath and load my tools and spare parts. Almost ready to hit the road! W. Michael

Just as NK said in Post #17, radial tires may increase the oversteer problem because they flex more side to side. When I switched to radials on my ‘29 Fordor (heavy on the rear axle) I encountered a significant, scary increase in oversteer. Increasing the rear tire pressure helped. After...

Paint the spin on filter either Ford Engine Green or black and the under hood appearance is greatly improved W. Michael

Many, many years ago Clem Clement wrote a narrative of attending Sully with one of his children. I cannot locate that old thread, and it may have been before Ryan took over, and may no longer be accessible. So I am relying on my morphing memory. Anyway, Clem’s account stuck with me, and he made...

I screwed up the threads on a new sediment bowl assembly completely ruining it, so don’t take my advice! It’s really easy to cross thread the line from the cut off valve to the back of the sediment bowl inside the cab. I suggest that when you reinstall the sediment bowl assembly, do not tighten...

I have the Brakelighter installed in my 1931 coupe, in the rear window. I have it mounted at the bottom of the window, but you could also mount it at the top. Use some superglue or similar stuff on the suction cups. Mine falls off about once a year, which is only a minor inconvenience. Unless...

I have a six foot black snake in the shop. He takes care of the mice, but now I’m afraid to go in the shop. W. Michael
