    Shop heater follow up

    The cost for heat in my shop is almost free, the shop is '70x'60, the heater is a Lanier waste oil heater, the fuel is old transmission fluid. I realize this isn't a real viable option for the average home shop, but it is great for a transmission shop, and those Allison trans.'s hold a lot of...

    I appreciate the feedback, I wondered about LB, but search as I did, could not find just the covers, I guess I needed to call and ask. I've heard nothing but good about Elizabeth also. Many thanks!

    Tudor seats

    Does any company sell just the seat covers for my Tudor? It seems like the only way I can get the correct ones, is to buy a complete kit. :confused:

    Howell's Sheetmetal

    Guess I'm one of the lucky ones, but I live close enough to deal with Ryan (the owner) personally. More than once, he has stayed open late, just to help me. I don't know him well, but I do know he is 3rd gen. in this business, so he's been around A's his whole life. He's always been extremely...

    My highschool daily driver was a '30 deluxe sedan, in the early '80's. Two weeks after graduating I was in Basic Training @ Ft. Dix NJ.

    Ah Ha! I'm Brilliant!

    A piece of vacuum line w/nylon strands in it will get you home if your coil wire goes bad. I also will use a piece of vacuum line, w/o nylon in it, and replace the coil wire w/it, for use as a theft deterent.

    Treasure found in my Tudor!

    Ya know Kieth, I feel the same way, to me it's just a quarter and if it hadn't been for my boy, I'd never know anything different. My heart wants to keep it with the car, like others have stated, it is a part of the cars history. However, I am still a young man with a wife & six kids at home...

    Non-Model A oil usage

    I usually change mine around 5k, and use a synthetic blend. However, I do it sooner if I think it needs it, it just depends on how dirty it looks, I don't like dirty oil in my svc. trk., as was stated before, it's cheap insurance. ;)

    Treasure found in my Tudor!

    Hey guys, thanks for the great advice. I did check out the e-bay auctions and was amazed! I think I need to have this thing graded, it really looks a little better than the one going for $1200. Ya know, I've never been a "lucky" guy, Mr. Murphy lives on my doorstep and most anything I ever...
