  1. When Summer returns let it set on the patio and let the Sun and rain work on it.
  2. I would post on the Pontiac page. They used this bore for a long time and someone must have a parts engine apart with a good piston. Shake the Bushes and you will find one.
  3. How fortunate we are that people have built and maintain this site.
  4. Thanks for posting this process. At 79 I am still learning. Don
  5. Very nice car, Have you considered darker pin striping on your wheels for a accent color?
  6. As time goes by our "Skill Set" increases and makes future projects "More Do Able. " \
  7. Enjoyment comes from fixing problems yourself.
  8. The quote is not mine. I also read it and find it useful when used in a relevant discussion. I never quite had a good grasp on the correct use of American grammar. I grew up in the poor working end of town and not to be bragging , became tri-lingual . I speak English , Hillbilly and Jive. I worked in the "Trades" and never found a person I could'nt talk to.
  9. I would contact John Smeltzer, He is a helpful person and has early 20's Hudsons parts. He in in NC. jsmeltzer37@gmail.com
  10. A 6/12 volt bulb type test light is what you would use to trace the power in your circuit. They are inexpensive and will allow you to see where the power stops. Not Rocket Science but requires effort on the part of the car owner.
  11. I realize the differential normally allows for different speeds of the axle or sprockets. Most cars only drive with one wheel, Hence if your right rear wheel is spinning in mud , the left side will not drive unless you have some kind of positraction or locked axle. The early chain drive cars must have had some type of limited slip or they only needed one chain. What am I missing when I try to construct this drive in my mind. I have asked this question in the past and never got a answer. Back in the Day this information was known by many but most have "Passed"
  12. I would like to know if these era chain drive units had a limited slip set up. It seems like the chains needed to run at different speeds in turns but yet still be able to drive. I have watched the "Back in the day" film of the Vanderbuilt cars and they seem to driving with both wheels in the turns. Can anyone enlighten me. thanks in advance.
  13. The great arrogance of the present is to forget the intelligence of the past.
  14. Think of a Spark Plug that you can take apart and replace any one part.
  15. Its always nice to buy a original owners and shop manual. These can be found on line and will save you time and money.
  16. Up for sale is a reproduction Studebaker Moto Meter radiator cap in excellent condition. It screws onto my 1922 Big Six. I purchased a original cap from a local "Back in the Day" Studebaker dealer and no longer need the reproduction cap. $250. plus the ride. thanks, Don in central OH 740-816-4284
  17. Up for sale is a Chrysler radiator cap #314761. as was used on the 1931 models. It is the big cap for the 8's and not the 6"s. First $250. plus the ride buys it. thanks, Don in central OH 740-816-4284
  18. Thanks to all who brought me up to date on mid 30's GM cars. At 79 I remember seeing a lot of these cars when I would ride my bike behind the neighborhood gas stations.
  19. Does anyone know if GM used this same body shell on the 1936 Chevy coupe. I heard somewhere that the 36 Chevy used the A Body where the higher priced cars used the B Body.
