  1. ^^^ Carlo Cola ^^^
    Walt G. ,

    There is a name out of the past….

    Real Nice Guy, Spoke to him at length, frequently during the Friday night Bellmore gatherings….
    Bought parts from me frequently through the years, but we were friendly, besides…

     

    Just sent a prayer to him up in heaven…. Thanks for bringing up his name….

     

    Best to you, too, Walt….. Craig…..

  2. Is the Master Cylinder Full of Brake Fluid ??? Meaning No Leaks ???

     

    If it is Full, meaning No Leaks, the ONLY place that pressure originates is the Master Cylinder…

    Meaning that the Brake Fluid is rushing past the internal components of the Master 

    Cylinder….

    ( And then, the second part of this equation, is —- Is the inside of the Master Cylinder pitted badly enough, that that is then a problem of the housing being no longer acceptable… )

     

    I have the Master Cylinder —- Brand NEW —- and the Master Cylinder Kit….

     

    P. M. Me, if interested…. Craig….

  3. The very very best is , of course, *** N.O.S. *** Asbestos *** the softest, smooooothest, braking surface known to mankind… and , as a result, does not rip up brake drums to smithereens….

     

    Now outlawed to manufacture for 31 years due to Asbestos Laws , it has been increasingly difficult to find…. For 20 years, companies’ R & D departments ( Research & Development) attempted to duplicate the qualities of *** N.O.S. *** Asbestos *** , but couldn’t and just gave up….

     

    So, the “ regular “ world has to sell , the current Chineseum , that is all THEY can do, and THEY don’t care…..

     

    The Great News is that I currently have a few sets ( ONLY ) of *** N.O.S. *** Asbestos *** —- P.M. me, if interested…. Craig….

  4. While the mail order world sells the Front Motor Mount for $ 25 - $ 30, I have hundreds of them —- Brand New —- for $ 12.00 each ….
    Don’t really think you need to “ save “ an old one ?!?!

     

    Similarly, the Water Pump, I reproduced years ago, and I still sell Brand New Water Pumps, 

    No Core Required for under $ 100…. 

     

    And, as you know, from your other thread , I have your Rear Flanged Axle Seals —- if you need or want them……

     

    Craig…..

  5. As some have mentioned above, DO N O T bring this car to a Firestone store, to be handled by a 19 year old recently fired by a Burger King know nothing….

     

    Plus , he won’t have the correct alignment shims and washers….

     

    Seek out an old school alignment shop , O N L Y …….

  10. I believe “ Signs “ have replaced “ Car Parts “ as the # 1 item at HERSHEY….

    Everyone and his brother is trying to become “ American Pickers “ selling signs…

     

    My friend was one of the original “ Signs “ sellers —- and walks out of HERSHEY every year with a wad of $ 100s that would choke a race horse….

     

    And they walk away from my booth, not having bought a $ 12 transmission mount, uttering “ Well, I don’t know if I really need it yet… I don’t want to carry anything….

    ( I do have handled bags for purchases…. )

  11. 1932chev,

    Glad you are there!!! Love having women and ladies in the car hobby… you sure are way more Special than the women and ladies that knit and watch soap operas all day !!!

     

    I still prefer the term “ SWAP MEET “ to “ Flea Market “ 100 times over !!! LOL !!!

     

    Craig…. (Come visit me next year, I like you ! )

  12. 6:36 A.M. —- just awoke from my last “ nap “ —- all is quiet on the precipitation situation !!!

    That might be it until 8 : 00 P.M. tonight !!!

     

    ^^^ And above ^^^ , yes a motor home should be what it is —- my neighbors have one to sleep in as opposed to a $ 200 per night hotel —- but they have a juicy , giant spread of parts out there… That is the right idea…

     

    And, as far as golf carts and SUVs, etc., give them time to mull it over…. Steve and Peter will, I am sure, read your submission, but they still would have to mention it at the meetings, etc,, etc., 

     

    Rules had to be amended to address Drones, vaping, and new additions to the world…

    Our AACA is pretty hip on making changes and adaptations—- see other threads about Street Rods at HERSHEY !!! , etc.

     

    It is all about KEEPING HERSHEY GREAT !!! Remember, they have to incorporate 

    350,000 AACA members’ ideas and thoughts into all the pluses and minuses of a show —- and I guarantee that they will do a better job than in Washington ( please —- this is 

    N O T a political statement !!!  LOL !!! )


    Give them time —- their focus is Today, maybe finally , possibly not having to deal with the r world, and putting on the # 1 Car Show on Planet Earth….

    ( And remember —- they Are volunteers, and devote mega hours of their life for us!!!)

     

    Craig….. ENJOY the Show, everyone…..

  13. To address your comments above :

    # 1 ) If you have spaces all over, and are only using one set of them, you are paying an awful lot of extra money with no return on investment…

            I know I wouldn’t be foolish enough to do that, and I don’t think (?) too many are 

    (?)….

     

    # 2 ) That is , for sure, the crux of the problem… That is why some prominent shows of yesterday year are no longer, or , on their death bed presently….

    What we must do, is fill the aisles with vendors and fill the walkways with patrons, like it used to be….

    Our opponents , naturally, are people dying, people too old to walk, very little next generations interest, and more….

     

    # 3 ) There is a motor home parking lot —- where the Blue and White Fields used to be.

    If a motor home is part of a vendor’s spread, it needs to be at the back of their spread, like my next-door-neighbors….

     

    # 4 ) Golf Carts are clearly a problem… Certainly at a lot of shows, where they just drive around through the swap meet area, and buy nothing from anyone…. And are constantly in the way of the walking patrons….

     

       Here at HERSHEY, it must be said, and for years, That I actually have MORE golf carts stop at my stand and purchase items than at any other show !!!

     

       We are an older crowd, of course, so it really is difficult to deny people the right to cover more ground , as big as HERSHEY is, without the aid of some motorized equipment…. There, the golf cart drivers just need to utilize patience, and allow their slower moving brothers and sisters the right of way…..
