  1. Can't the rear of the car be jacked up, and the driveshaft be unbolted from the differential? That way even it the Transmission is stuck in park, the rear wheels will roll as if in neutral. Oh, and use some wire to hold up the loose end of the driveshaft so it doesn't drag on the ground.
  2. The OP is talking about creating a shortcut on the desktop, which is different than creating a bookmark using the star. Either one would work for the purpose, but they are different. I just created a desktop shortcut now to try to figure it out. Took a couple tries. I will try to post a "screenshot" to help. You have your Chrome browser open and https://forums.aaca.org/ is the only thing on the address bar. No other tabs open. Then click on the three dots in the upper right just below the "close window X" Go down to "more tools" then you see create shortcut. A window opens for you and it is already filled out. Just click on the "Create" button and you are done. Close the Chrome browser, and you will see it on the desktop. It will be a block with a capital "A" in it. Click that, takes you to the AACA forum. Someone give it a try, just to show it works!
  3. need to dim the bright spots some more. tone down the whitewalls, and the radiator chrome.
  4. Original photos at top have too much contrast. I even turn down the contrast on my TV set, because I think it is easier on the eye. Most people seem to turn up the contrast, but I think that makes it look less natural.
  5. 3,000 psi. No different than just connecting it to the brake master cylinder.
  6. there is also the candle wax trick, heat the housing all the way around with the torch, then apply the candle to melt, all around the circumference of the piston, and the wax gets sucked in. and I've hit these on a vise with the jaws open, so the housing hits the vise, but the piston does not, so the inertia of the piston may cause it to come out.
  7. I have done similar, but by connecting a brake line, and a brake or clutch master cylinder, mounted on a bench vise and pumped brake fluid into them till they push out.
  8. When nothing shows up that should be the best, easiest situation. I would just fill out the form, saying the title is lost, and request a replacement. That is how it works in California. If you go in to register a car that has been off the road for decades, it is not in the system (computer system) so you take in your title (we call it a pink-slip because it is pink here) and they enter the data like the VIN in their computer, you pay, and get your registration. But if you don't have the title, there is the extra step, of asking for a replacement for a lost title. You must sign a statement saying you lost it, which implies it is your car and not stolen. Other states should have this type of procedure for cars "out of the system" and with lost titles.
  9. My car was in the system under the name of someone who disappeared, or maybe even passed away. No reason not to ask the DMV who they have on record as the owner, but if it's always been in the family there should be no surprises. Hopefully. And if it's been unregistered for decades it likely has dropped out of their system and they'd have no records on it.
  10. He should retire. Dale Earnhardt's crash was very mild by comparison.
  11. If this was California I'd have your dad just sign off a form that he needed a replacement title because he lost the old one. Technically that is true if he had a bill of sale which is as good as a title as far as I'm concerned. In California then you'd apply for a replacement title since the title was lost. There is a form for that. i would think Florida or Vermont, or any state would have something comparable. Tell them you want to apply for replacement of a lost title and see what they say. These vehicles were always in the family so you, the family, have title. Just not on paper.
  12. maybe in that pic the manifold and carb are removed
  13. What is that at t=28 seconds in the video?
  14. I am reading it is carburetted.
  15. I would suggest just put it together without a filter, and put an inline filter after it.
  16. Lock bumpers? Not really. He dropped low to block the pass. Then maneuvering to his right when the "bump" happened. That will spin a car even if the bumpers do not "lock."
  17. This is confusing. They are in Vermont, you want to go through the Vermont DMV, get them registered then get a Florida title and move them to Florida. As best I understand. The value assigned in Vermont is way too high because they want to collect excessive tax from you? Since I live in California I cannot be of help. I did get a title for an abandoned car in California which was still in the system, but the previous owner was nowhere to be found. Sorry for going off on a tangent. Every situation is different and states are different so it depends on the details.
  18. Are you keeping a running total of the hours spent at ProShaper ?
  19. This beach was originally donated to the State of California by Lorne Greene and Michael Landon of the TV series Bonanza in memory of Dan Blocker.
  20. Being disgusted by this possibility, I looked up what that might look like. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6aQ6aZ1nfk Ford nine-inch rear end, Turbo Hydramatic 400 three-speed automatic, Chevrolet 502 CID V-8 big-block
  21. Wonder how the engine is connected to the wheel?
  22. 1917 Postal Delivery Vehicle
