    Illegal to have only one tail light in NC?

    Pulled into grocery store parking lot after dark this evening and a city police officer pulled in behind me to say, “ it is illegal to only have one tail light in NC”. He quoted G.S 20-129. I thought you were legal with original equipment? He was nice enough and said he was just letting me...

    Yes, the bends, radius, arch. I don’t know if one model will fit the other as the ends could have the same mounting angle? Looks like Bob answered it.

    Powder Coat vendors

    I have a guy in the lake Norman area that did my wheels (blasted and powder coated black) $50 a piece. That does not include any bondo or spoke straightening although he offers that as well. I’m not sure of color options or how accurate they are but he is very professional and if it can be done...

    The Great Depression

    When the average person can’t afford to buy it’s getting ready to pop. Everyone’s idea of the “average” person is different but I believe it’s the group that spends the most, per individual it is a smaller amount but collectively it’s huge, those people are broke. Not sure what the next...

    The Great Depression

    Most people who lived where I do now (I grew up here and my family has been here for over 250 years) had no idea there was depression. They were self reliant, grew most everything they ate and “were” extremely independent. They were told how bad they had it because they didn’t know,,,,,,,,,,,,,

    Inline gas filter

    There several ways to do the filter, one is a filter that goes in the glass bowl, another is the pencil filter that goes in the gas shut off valve up in the tank. Some use a magnet stuck under the tank to catch particles before they make it to the gas valve. Paul Shinn mentions the filter part...

    Ford Produced and stamped “Ford” Springs?

    Ford Produced and stamped “Ford” Springs? I took my rear spring off and cleaned, ground smooth, re-arched and graphite painted and found one leaf was stamped three times “Ford”. Of course I’ve only done this twice so I’ve not looked at many individual leaves before. Is this fairly common and...

    We had a dairy farm and my dad did artificial insemination and we had a tank of liquid nitrogen, my brother and I would put different things in it to see the results . Rubber hoses after being dipped would be like ice in seconds and shatter when struck on the floor. I just watched a...

    Very Nice 1931 Model A Ford A-400 at Auction

    I love history, any kind of history and I also collect WW2 items. I don’t specialize and collect a specific item which can ruin the experience because there are so many scrupulous people selling “enhanced” items, I like it all. I have friends with collections that are enormous with items...

    Emphasis on Hot Rod

    I just had a timing issue where the points were wide open before top dead center. New to me car, battery good but slow starting and had one shot at cranking after the engine was warm. It was then either cables or roll off to start. I watched a Paul Shinn video on timing that I’d watched and...

    30 tudor quater windows

    Apparently they did not come from the factory with anything on outside of the windows. I just did the anti rattles on mine and found this out from the members here. I know it doesn’t make sense today but they were learning what needed to be at the time.

    31 Model A rear spring

    You should be able to take the four nuts on the u-bolts off completely and then lower the rear differential slowly (with the cars frame on jack stands)and it should release the pressure on the upper leaves. You will have to have a spring spreader as mentioned in removal of the lower leaf. If I...

    How to repair spindle threads

    When he finished that he called me to give me a free estimate on windows, siding and roofing. He then sent me a text that I had an unpaid automobile ticket with a list of penalties I’d face if not paid by Venmo. He then jumped on facebook and tried to sell me an almost new washer and dryer at...
