hook replied to dodge28's topic in General Discussion
Well, not all attorneys are a problem. They say that only 98% of all attorneys make the good ones look bad.- 80 replies

My brother had a 1953 Jowett Jupiter that had 4 speed on the column. It had a button in the end of the handle to press in order to go into reverse.

In a Model A Ford you could pull up on the stick and rotate it completely out of the way. Of course, just like putting a floor stick of other cars in reverse, this operation was for extra curricular actives which I won't mention.

Good way to see if the engine and transmission rear seals work.

Oh come on Paul, you know it's located right next to the radiator leaning against the back wall of the shop.

Your 1931 Chilton Multi-Guide manual is an interchange manual. FH-9 has nothing to do with the manufacturer, belt, or size. It's just an interchange number to show how many other cars use the same belt.

Be very careful with that steel wool. The tineyest little specs of wool can really screw up a good job by getting in the lines and fittings. Wash, wash, wash and blow, blow, blow out. Just some advice from someone that's been there.

Now all it needs is a chain mail top. Made of stainless of course, so it won't rust. -

Everyone has their own cutoff date. At one time even Duesenberg's were beyond someone's cutoff date. Just enjoy your own desires, be kind and listen to others. I saw a sign once that pretty well sums it all up. "It's what you learn after you know it all that counts".

As a member of the H.H. Franklin Club you get access to all the Franklin company drawings. That way you can look up the proper color for the part you want. There is no general engine color.

Also. If you have a welding supply house in your area, you may want to take your glass and see if they have any gauge glass replacements in that size. Some of them have beveled edges and will fit.

Got one and it sure beats the heck out of a sledge hammer for the same purpose.

I don't mind using any of my tools. There are some jobs that I like less than others, but the most important thing is having the proper tool for the job I'm doing. With out the proper tool everything goes to hell real fast. I also don't agree with a fire extinguisher being a tool. A tool is something you plan to use for a specific project. The need for a fire extinguisher is the result of using the wrong tool in the wrong place at the wrong time and the need to get bailed out!

Should 25 year old cars really be called "Antiques"?
hook replied to f.f.jones's topic in General Discussion
Gee, this has really blew the 25 year rule out of the water. Let see. 2024 anything. Do I start it with a key or a button or just tell it to start. How do I shift it? It has no stick, what do I do with this knob? Stop it? Well, that's been the same since the early 20's, you press a peddle on the floor. What are these levers and buttons on the wheel? Oh, radio, cruise control, steering wheel heater, horn...... What do the gauges mean? What's the tachometer for? What's this thing about battery charge and what's left of miles to go mean? What's this lever do? oh It moves the steering wheel and makes wipers go. Oh damn, the headlights just came on?????????????? So the way I see it by your criteria a car is an antique when it comes of the line. -
Yeah, probably. Wagner-Lockheed, at least they didn't rust through.
