  1. It has classifieds in the back with pictures 1939 Bugatti 57-C 4-Door Galibier, $4,000, looks like this: Jag SS-100, 3.5 liter, 6 cylinder, $3,200
  2. Yes it is focused on foreign makes. The October '59 issue I have has road tests on: 1. Humber Super Snipe 2. BMW R-60 motorcycle 3. MG Magnette 4. "Alfa Super Spider" 5. MG-A 1600 And an article about the Locomobile Model 90 Sportiff; and Panhard P-17, whatever that is.
  3. The really early ones might be worth having, 1950 through 1970. I have paid a little over $5 for ones of 1965 vintage, but only if it has a car I am interested in.
  4. That sounds like what I would do. And extra layer of gasket material at that last port. Could make it out of sheet copper with a circle cutting tool, and tin snips, just a drill, and hand tools. I have made gaskets that way. Either a hole saw or one of these -
  5. I accidentally found it, wondering what it looked like in a good side view pic, but there were no good side views.
  6. Nicely illustrated with the pictures and all. I should be able to do that, given the explanation you provided. Never heard of a left toe foot before but it looks like it;d be useful, Is this that type? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Single-Toe-Welting-Foot-Set-For-Consew-Juki-Singer-Walking-Foot-Machines/183582008801? I've got most of my sewing stuff off eBay and this "sharpsewing" place in Los Angeles. They sell all sorts of presser feet, both individually and in sets. Hard to understand some of the descriptions though. Here is a presser foot set. http://www.ebay.com/itm/40-PRESSER-FOOT-SET-HIGH-SHANK-INDUSTRIAL-SEWING-MACHINE-JUKI-BROTHER-SINGER/122464134627? PIPING (CORDING) FEET (7 PIECES) 4351H Adjustable Left or Right cording foot. P69HL-1/8 Hinged piping foot (Left). This foot will attach 1/8" diameter piping to your fabric.

This foot will attach 1/4" diameter piping to your fabric. (P69LH-1/4”) P69HR-3/16 Hinged piping foot (Right). This foot will attach 3/16" diameter piping to your fabric.

This foot is ideal for getting in very closely to a zipper, welting, and/or cording. (12435HN)
  7. I wouldn't call Marvel Mystery oil a "lead additive." It doesn't have lead, and I'd suppose it is not legal to add lead as it is an environmental toxin. Marvel Mystery oil has this: Tricresyl phosphate, an antiwear and extreme pressure additive in lubricants 0.1-1.0%[2] Rest of it - According to the company's 2015 safety data sheet Marvel Mystery Oil is composed of:[2] Petroleum Distillates (Hydrotreated Heavy Naphthenic) also known as mineral oil, 60-100%[2] Petroleum Distillates (Stoddard Solvent) also known as white spirit, 10-30%[2] Tricresyl phosphate, an antiwear and extreme pressure additive in lubricants 0.1-1.0%[2] Ortho Dichlorobenzene, a softening and removing agent for carbon-based contamination on metal surfaces, 0.1-1.0%[2] Para Dichlorobenzene, a precursor used in the production of chemically and thermally resistant polymers, <0.1%[2]
  8. There's the hardtop, and two windshield frames.
  9. That's a '57 and a '59. I'd suppose the later with larger grill is of lower value.

  11. If you filled a tank with CO and O2 in the proper stoichiometric ratio, which would be 2 molecules of CO to every one molecule of O2, and you put a spark to this filled tank, I'd think indeed it would explode. So don't try it.
  12. I would say rusting steel generates heat, but not enough that it can be easily measured. When you scratch a stick of magnesium, you get heat and sparks enough to light a camp fire, because the magnesium is oxidizing to magnesium oxide. Oxidation-Reduction reactions are exothermic and result in increased entropy. 2nd law of thermodynamics. When you burn gasoline you get CO2 and Water H2O and heat and higher level of "entropy." So you have gone downhill on the chemical energy scale; in other words chemical energy is converted to heat energy. Magnesium Fire Starter
  13. Question: Who owns that classic car seen parked on the street in the video? Is it a neighbor's car, or belong to the owner of the house that is burning? Answer (from a neighbor): it belongs to the owner they had 2 other classic cars burn in the garage
  14. Yes by "burn" I did not mean you can fuel a torch with CO. I would think you are correct that it cannot be a fuel for a torch. By "burn" I simply meant it can be oxidized further. The chemical terminology is Oxidation-Reduction reaction. You add oxygen to a fuel and get this reaction, and what is called entropy increases, meaning you end up with less chemical energy and more heat. CO can be oxidized further. So in that sense it can serve as a fuel for an oxidation-reduction reaction. So if you want to fill the fuel tank with exhaust gases, which is what I think you initially suggested, that would be a lot of CO2 and maybe a little CO it is OK by me. You would be adding something that has a bit of oxidation potential though. In refineries they use N2, nitrogen gas. When a large tank like a hydrocracker is full of crude oil that needs to be broken down with heat and a catalyst, it is not explosive, because it is full of fuel, and no oxygen or oxidizer. But when they drain it for servicing, they do not let any air in. They backfill with N2 to fill the void space.
  15. CO2 is not flammable.I think people were arguing with you because at one point you seemed to say CO was not flammable; but maybe that was a typo of yours. The chemical equation is this: Two CO plus one O2 equals (or reacts to produce) Two CO2 2CO + O2 ---> 2CO2 CO is a product of incomplete combustion. It can be "burned" further by adding more Oxygen.
  16. The news is showing a trailer park on fire, caused by this second earthquake.
  17. It was in the UK, which explains why the explitives the videographer was using were unintelligible to me, " effin' - ell !!! " ???? Is that what he said?
  18. I brazed some holes shut using a plumbers propane torch with a cylinder of MAPP gas and a fluxed brazing rod. No fumes in the gas tank, of course. You can braze with MAPP gas, it gets hotter than propane.
  19. Up to 40-plus hours of final wet sanding and compounding is discussed in this video. He says only 10 hours is adequate for "driver quality." The link jumps you ahead in the video to the wet sanding part.
  20. From Bernie's post ; Stromberg UUR 2 Carburetor
  21. Yes that's consistent with my understanding of how it supposedly works. Both regular and HVLP guns can be used with a conventional compressor. With the HVLP gun you run the same compressor but turn down the regulator. So the tank might have 90 psi in it, but the regulator reduces the pressure to the gun much more. Regulated pressure to a regular gun might be 50, 55 psi, while the regulator gets set to something like 30 psi for and HVLP gun. Or maybe less, even 20?
  22. Good, useful information. I didn't realize a charcoal filter was inadequate.
