Re: Here's to BUBBA aka Jim Lindner
I'll chime in here although what I have to say echos a lot of the previous posts.
Jim has done a couple of helmet distributors for me in the past. Both were done quickly and were quite reasonably...

Re: Engine misses when hot
I had a similar issue I was able to solve simply, but I'm not sure you can adopt my solution. I'm running a helmet dizzy but with an adapter for an external coil. I simply moved the coil bracket to...

Re: What I do on my "lunch hours"...
Gorgeous as usual. The reflections visible in the paint on the gas tank (and Columbia!) are pretty impressive.
A few years ago Mike was doing a 39 wagon. He happened to be hosting a party a...

Hi-
I posted this over on the HAMB but no replies, maybe someone here can help.
I'm running an old Edmunds intake with 2x 97s. I know this intake doesn't feed into a common plenum. Before I...

Re: Rebuilding
Hey Ken, I have a couple of questions about your rebuilt carburetors. Do you always replace the throttle shaft and bushings or is it a case by case things? What style needle and seat do you use? ...

Re: 1940 wheel pin stripe color
Sometimes a guy's perception of himself is far different that how the rest of the world sees him. The good news is that it's often pretty darn funny.

Re: What I Do on MY "lunch hours"
Hey Vic-
I find your "the way Henry intended" comment a bit ironic. The goal of Kube, or any other true restorer, is to have a car that exactly resembles "what Henry intended". A car assembled...

If you put up one post that exhibits half the intelligence of Kube or myself I will disappear from this thread. (No Vic, you can't help him.)

Sarcasm is defined in The Oxford Universal Dictionary, published in 1933, as "a sharp, bitter, or cutting expression or remark; a bitter gibe or taunt." More contemporary definitions often...

I was wondering why you had chosen not to respond to any of the questions posed in this or the other very similar thread here on the Barn. I then noticed you edited your earlier response....

Re: More reproduction cr-p
I think Kube hit the nail on the head, it's about truth in advertising. Don't say a part is "as original" if you know it isn't.
Hey Bob, if you think those 1937-1938 seals where put in a 1939...

And to show that this is not just a Bob Drake problem, the...
