Re: chirp, chirp, chirp - Update

Re: January special
Uh-oh! Looks like the cold weather and cabin fever are having their effects.

Re: 1930 Sport Coupe at auction

Re: 1952 F-1 Project
I'm retiring in 23 days and I bought a '52 F1 2 years ago for one of my projects. Can't wait to get started. Seeing your pictures just make me anxious! Good luck and keep the progress pictures coming.

Re: Mechanical Brakes
My 2 cents worth. If the whole system is restored correctly, all the worn parts are gone, and the brakes are adjusted by the book, mechanical brakes are great. I recommend getting cast iron drums....

Re: Hershey shoes
$10 shoes would spell the end for me. I have flat feet and have to have New Balance shoes and orthotic inserts. Once they're tuned in, I'm good to go.

Re: Why do you own a Model A?
When I was in 7th grade, my shop teacher lived in the neighborhood. He had brought a '29 pickup from Colorado and was restoring it in his garage. I was overcome with curiosity and my Dad saw this....

Re: This Week's Barn Find
Great find! I would have bid on it if I were at an auction. The toy box is almost full, but can always make room for another. Personally,I would leave it like it is and drive it for a while. Have you...

Re: 25% HF coupon and 1 ton crane
It'd no worse than being out and hearing "Oh, I need to stop at Kohl's. I have a 30% coupon", and then being dragged thru the store.

I agree, the best way is to add a gallon at a time and make a record of it. I do that for the airplane as it is critical to know the amount of fuel on board. We never trust the gages.

Re: Dry Gas?
Dry gas is ethanol. I don't think you'll need it as the ethanol in the fuel already is picking up moisture. It will settle out over time. Look on the internet on how to remove ethanol from your gas....
