Re: Otwell Manifold Heater Value?

Since it's donated, probably nothing. Just let someone buy it. If it's important $25. I have one you can have it you want.

Repro Hood

I've got several sections of the original hood (30-31) and a well worn complete one. Thinking about a repro hood. My question is how far off in looks is the repro compared to an original?

Re: what color is this (BOTH COLORS)

Re: How come "Car Collectors" don't like Model A's?
