Mine has someone's initials carved into it. I was thinking of restoring the wheel when I thought about all the people that must of touched that wheel. I didn't restore the wheel, so when I am driving my car all those "hands" are with me for the ride!

Just found out the land has been sold. Fifty years comes to an end. This was some of my deepest memories back in the late sixty's with my dad looking at all the old car parts and dreaming about how to rebuild them. Sad :(

A camera is a tool that should be in anybody's tool chest. Pictures are valuable when you forget what goes where.

Mitch, Is that Ford Maroon color?

If the water is boiling over, let cool down, don't touch it. Even though its not pressurized it can boil out the top. Also the steam can burn you very quickly.
