  1. I used their acrylic enamel without the hardener and it sprayed fine and is still holding up after 5 years. I think I buffed it after about 3 months.
  2. 180 miles would be a long trip for a fire truck, I hope there were many smiles along the way.
  3. Big unfashionable cars were often coveted for other uses.
  4. Camaro sub frame is the proper term, a front clip is the hood, fenders, and grill assembly.

    I have sold at swap meets, no-ID parts, $1 each pile or $12 for the crate to another vendor.

    Common on wide trailers, older ones had glass lenses.
  8. You should be able to use the old style Ford solenoid,, Can you post a photo of the starter with it's switch ?

    A back side photo may help.
  10. Distributors, are they for a 4, 6, 8 cylinder engines ? Any numbers or manufacturers name ? Unidentified parts are you selling as a lot ?
  11. Windsor engine from 1956, the first 2 numbers are the year.
  12. Just a guess, 1927 Studebaker had a light switch mounted on a gear setup
  13. I don't see anything from the brass era. The radiator looks like the same expanded metal as the Seeburg jukebox speaker grills with noting behind it. The pin on the bottom of the radiator shell looks like it is there to keep the hood and radiator from moving forward. It is nothing but a poorly proportioned tourist car that would fit right in at Toon Town in sunny California.

    toy cars

    Cars like the yellow on were used in some of the Godzilla movies . I don't think yours was abused by Godzilla but you never know.
  15. I think you have about a dozen hood hinges left, right ? Kind of hard to tell all piled up.
  16. The steering wheel controls could be mid 1920s Studebaker.
  17. The hood covers a good share of the cowl and passenger compartment making it look sleeker. It looks like all the sheet metal work is custom except the radiator shell that is from a late 20s Whippet.
  18. Plain plate glass in those cars no, tinting. I would also get rid of the trophy top on the radiator cap.
  19. Looks like the photo was taken sometime in the great depression and the car was used for farm use. Pumped up tires smooth in the front.
  20. I don't see any brakes or drive chains, belts or rollers on the wheels.
  21. My father's term "speed lines" to mimic speed that wasn't there. That is a bug screen over the grill held on with springs. As a kid I often had the job to clean the bugs off.
  22. About #4 Do you know the the size ? I have one that is labeled "9 IN AUTO"
  23. I think it was painted to look military, colors are off
