  1. There's more to it than just the money. There is principle involved. Would you sign up for food stamps, simply because you "qualified?"
  2. I will look for it! Glad your house is still standing with Gary Maynard driving past it.
  3. That video is Gary Maynard who was arrested for multiple counts of arson. He is driving around commenting on fire damage.
  4. Sell it as a collection of parts for $500; with buyer having to gather and transport.
  5. So light six means this has the aluminum head like the one Bernie Jacobsen had, down under, Australia. (Aluminum heads often crack, get stripped spark plug holes, and are unaffordable to replace the head.)
  6.

  8. I paid $100 for a set of nice, no rust wheels and thought that was a very good deal.
  9. I went on a camping trip this last weekend. Only 220 miles round trip. Figure 25 mpg in my Toyota pickup with camper shell. That is only $40 in gas. Very cheap. Even at $4.50 per gallon. I filled up with $60 before I left and still have about a third of a tank left, so that mgp must be about right. As far as my "classic car" which at best is very short trips, I wouldn't mind paying $10 per gallon. Actually I enjoy camping, but the time spent on the freeway and highway getting there is not enjoyable at all; just a chore. It was very hot in Northern California still, the high got to 97 on my return trip Sunday. Hopland Ca gets hot. 97 high yesterday. Should not be that hot in October though.
  10. Click this link to read the 1915 Scientific American, and page down you will see this armored vehicle and other war preparations. https://books.google.com/books?id=_GA1AQAAMAAJ&pg=PA173#v=onepage&q&f=false
  11. August 21, 1915 A STATEMENT from THE WHITE COMPANY to MOTOR CAR BUYERS IN view of the confusing market which confronts motor car pur-chasers, many are looking to this Company for an expression of its attitude toward the innovations in mechanical design and new price levels now being announced. We therefore take this occasion to state our beliefs and purposes, which are based on fourteen successful years of experience. We believe the four-cylinder motor is to be the standard and ultimate type. We therefore consider it wiser to continue perfecting this type of motor, which we have already spent years in developing, than to step abruptly into a field of design that is new to the entire automobile industry, and thus impose an experiment upon our customers. With reference to price, the White policy will be as it always has been—to build cars to the White 'standard rather than to a standard that would make a cheap price possible. Materials and labor cost more now than ever before—consequently, lower prices must and do indicate com-promised quality. We hold it as a first. principle of our duty to purchasers of White Cars to make a product that will give maximum service with the least amount of attention and of expense for operation and maintenance; a product of such quality and approved construction that it will command high value at any time the owner may wish to dispose of it; in all, to build motor cars which the owners can truly regard as investments. White policy will always be governed by consideration for the ultimate service-value of White Cars. We will not take part in the spec-tacular methods, adopted solely for sales stimulation, which prevail in the motor car market at the present. time. In short, the stability of policy which has always meant security to White owners will continue. We neither consider it good business nor do we find it necessary to repudiate the design- nor to depreciate, un-naturally, the value of cars which have been purchased from us, by making frequent radical changes in design and'price. THE WHITE COMPANY CLEVELAND (This is the official date of this advertisement stating a commitment to the Four Cylinder) I been reading the 1915 Scientific American. Fascinating. Here is the link if you want to look at it. Lots of stuff on the WWI effort. https://books.google.com/books?id=_GA1AQAAMAAJ&pg=PA173#v=onepage&q&f=false
  12. That spill is pathetic. "The pipeline is inspected every other year and has been “meticulously maintained,” he said, adding that the most recent inspection occurred last week." But obviously they missed something! Birds and fish are turning up on shore dead, and the best beaches, Huntington Beach and Newport Beach are getting some oil deposits.
  13. I think you will want to get some of this flexible foam sanding blocks and the adhesive roll paper Norton sand paper rolls. It is like a memory foam material and can conform to curves. Sand paper rolls, all different grits available, 2.75 inch wide, this happens to be 320 grit https://www.ebay.com/itm/201555361848 Dura Blocks, complete set $55 https://www.ebay.com/itm/203504781429 https://www.ebay.com/sch/paulfrancispaint/m.html https://www.ebay.com/sch/autobodynow/m.html
  14. I am finally thinking EV would be good, mainly due to consistent $4.50 per gallon and likely rising. Investors are predicting crude oil will go back over $100 per barrel again. Now WTI CRUDE •11 mins 78.10 +2.22 West Texas intermediate Crude oil, And Brent is $81.73/ barrel. Very strong crude oil prices and that will end up with gas going even higher.
  15. Auto manufacturers frequently put premium as the recommended fuel grade in the owner's manual even though it is really not called for.
