Re: My Biggest Fear
my biggest fear is spending a ton of money on a model A motor rebuild only to have it last a few months.

Re: My Biggest Fear
My biggest fear is to comeback home again as we did after shopping on thanksgiving night to find out someone had broken into my shop. Who ever the culprit was now has some of the cheapest best tools that could be stolen. I was cleaned out good. And the worst fit one of my neighbors saw or heard anything. He or they can now cut weld plasma cut grind torch join sand wire and paint just about anything made out of metal or wood. And they won't need to go to the parts. Store for a long while either. If. They have not. Opened up their own store now. Moral of the story, do not be complacent install a alarm or cameras . The old statement should have could. Have really applies . Learn from my loss.its a cruel world out there and someone always is watching or looking at what you have. I was dumb and let my guard down, be smart protect your tools,there mighty expensive to replace.

Re: My Biggest Fear
That would be the normal break in time and 500 mile total the rebuilders recommend. As fopr Biggest Fear, an ELECTRICAL fire at 3 in the morning. Bob

As to my stuff, I doubt that any of my kids want any of it. They are all so not into the same things I am. Another event I will not worry about at this stage in the game.

Re: My Biggest Fear
Boy You said it, Tom! In my case it was an aunt (Mom's sister) who glomed everything! Life ins policies, House, 1 yr old Ford station wagon, savings accounts. She got the Power of Attorney and took possession of it all. I fought tooth and nail but made very little progress. Her lawyer screwed up and was doing the work of the executor and backcharging the estate. We sued and recovered a little, but the court would not remove her as executor even though the Will said that if she couldn't or wouldn't serve, I was to be next in line. "Where there's a will there's a relative!"

This is why I want to find out what to do to make sure my Model A's and parts go where I want them to and not to my brothers. My brothers have no mechanical knowledge nor interest in my cars, and they would only fight over them for the money they could sell them for. |

Re: My Biggest Fear
How about making out a "Bill of Sale" for the items you want to go to whom. Todays date, put same in a safe deposit box. That way the items are not part of the estate, no tax is due. Even though you used the items for the last years of your life, they didn't really belong to you.

Re: My Biggest Fear
I have also seen the flipside to this. I was called to come see a 1930 Coupe for sale. I was told that it was all restored and ready to drive. When I got there, the widow showed me the car and it was far from what was described. She insisted that her husband told her it was worth over $20K and used this value to help justify his spending on it. At best, it was worth around $7K in the condition it was in.
