Matt texted me yesterday that he found a 1947 dime while cleaning the car. Damn, that's a silver dime from the year I was born. How'd I miss that over 55 years?

Today my 1934 Ford is on it's way to Maine. A few months ago my wife and I decided it was time to pass my grandfather's 1934 Ford onto the next generation. I sent an email to all my Casey cousins asking if any of them were interested in the car. Among others, my cousin Peter called me to...

Yes, Pete, thank you. Some of those are really funny. Tom

I often think of those brave young soldiers on that day. Many never made it onto the beach. Of those who did, many never made it off the beach. Even those who ultimately made it home were scarred for life. They sacrificed so much. For what? For us to live free. They are "the greatest...

Hi All, I'm pretty sure the accessories shown in the attached photos are original to my 1934 Ford but I'd appreciate if someone would verify that they are in fact original. Thank you, Tom

Thank you Pete for your information about Epping. I remember Amherst, NH on the last Sunday of the month from many years ago. There was a gas station on rte 101 on the way to Amherst that also had a restaurant in it. The sign on the roof said: "Eat here and get gas." I never stopped! Tom

When and where is the swap meet in Epping? Tom

Is there a vendor that has this complete system?

Babyboomerboy could be me. I'm a baby boomer, too. I purchased a wire harness from Tyree Harris for my 1934 Ford almost 10 years ago. The harness sat in my garage for 5 years. During that time I looked at it and debated "should I tackle it?" Finally I talked to my local mechanic who told me...

Another problem has developed. Since removing the windshield header trim panel I realize that I have the wrong screws to reattach the mirror and also, I can't get the holes to line up. The screws that I had saved were wood type screws. Once the panel was off I could see that I needed bolts to...

Thank you, Leadfoot4U. It took 26 minutes for me to get an answer to my question. That is so cool. What a great website. Tom

My rear view mirror was loose so I took it down before it fell down. Now to put it back up the holes above are to big for the screws. I want to take the piece shown down to see how I can reattach the mirror. Question #1: What is the cover called that is hiding the windshield wiper motor and...

Mike was a true gentleman, one of those people that many of us miss. He introduced me to the Daytona "Birthplace of Speed" club. Tom

Its a real beauty, Scott. I hope you have many happy miles. Like you, I've benefited so much from the people here on the barn. Tom

Thank you everyone. I've ordered the fluid. Now I have (another) project when I get back to Florida in the fall. Tom

Thanks, Brian. The process sounds very logical and simple. I think I'd try that method. The big question which has been asked here many, many times is where can you get the fluid? Tom

Discussions about insurance companies get my blood boiling! I don't like insurance companies and I think in trying to minimize their risk they take advantage of us. That being said, I had Hagerty for over 15 years, had what I thought were reasonable premiums and I thought their rules for...

Is there one reputable supplier for all mechanical brake parts? Mine work o.k. but I certainly can't "stop on a dime". Tom

In Astor, FL the St Johns river has come back to major flood stage. Neighbors as close as one street away have major headaches from the flooding but "clunker" sits in my garage high and dry.

Yes, glass can be drilled. Tomcarman did it above. As a glazier for 30 years I drilled hundreds of holes in glass. If the glass is tempered it can't be drilled. Holes in tempered glass are made before the tempering process is done. Tom
