  1. I had a dentist put a ratcheting device in my mouth to hold it open. To do a filling in a wisdom tooth, hard to get at unless the mouth was held very wide open. I heard it ratcheting when she installed it, tighter and tighter as it opened my mouth more. She broke a different tooth while using it, so there was an additional repair needed. So yes to hold a horses mouth open, I could see that being the case.
  2. Sounds like good news. 302 from a '69 Z28 Camaro.
  3. I'm now going to get "Classic Car" insurance with Hagerty, which is what this article was based on: requests for insurance quotes and valuations on "Classics." I was only alerted to this option through this forum. It's a much better value, more coverage, and a different type of coverage, than if I were to add it to my regular insurance. I am surprised that you can just declare the value. Hagerty obviously must recognize it won't be driven much. My regular insurance would let me specify 1,000 miles per year use minimum, but based on their pricing they seem to figure i would still be driving it every day and likely to get in a collision.
  4. Need to give the seller credit for including this picture. This looks like paint put over bare metal without any primer, sealer.
  5. I had found in the distant past that FedEx was cheaper than USPS Parcel Post, and so I even opened an account with FedEx which made it even cheaper. And FedEx (Ground) was cheaper than UPS. Also FedEx included tracking and insurance, which at the time would have cost more with Parcel Post. That was before the time of these "Flat Rate" boxes. Apparently things have changed now, but I'm going to ship something FedEx soon and see how it works out. You never know what FedEx will be until you take it in, it gets measured, weighed, and the destination put into the computer. And yes delivery to residences costs more than delivery to business addresses.
  6. The 2020 Bronco will come in a 2 door version. Both 2 and 4 door versions. Based on the Ranger chassis, and a 4 door option was needed to make it viable from a marketing perspective.
  7. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto/d/1966-bronco-roadster-u13/6758493367.html The proposed 2020 model doesn't look indistinguishable from the 1966. I'd rather a real '66 .
  8. There are two types of medium flat rate boxes, big shallow, and smaller but taller one. The smaller taller medium box is perfect for shipping a pair of brake calipers. both are the same price, $13.65. Should be available on request at any post office. Medium Flat Rate Box – 1 size is 11 1/4" x 8 3/4" x 6" Medium Flat Rate Box – 2 size is 14" x 12" x 3 1/2" http://www.usps.com/ship/priority-mail.htm?
  9. He said it has an "unforgettable history" which does mean an Interesting History. Yes he AGREES with you. you misinterpreted. IF he had said a "forgettable history" that would have meant unimportant.
  10. I have a book on his "Usonian" houses. Small, affordable, concrete slab with radiant in floor heating, mostly flat roof. Large living area with fireplace and kitchen/dining area is one big open area. Other side of the house is a couple bathrooms and the bedrooms.
  11. The car was used by the Prime Minister at the time – Ibrahim Nasir – who went on to be the country’s second President. The car was State-owned, and had the State’s crest on it. It was used for transportation when Queen Elizabeth II visited Male’ City in 1972. Make and Model The car is a fifth-generation Chevrolet. It has four doors and is cream in color.

  12. This municipal building is still standing. The roof is cast concrete panels with a rubberized waterproof coating, or some such type coating. The roof leaked, and had to be re-done, but the concrete roof remained. It's just the coatings were all removed and a more modern type of coating used. It's a spectacular building. Has a library at the top I've been in. Library was put at the top to symbolize knowledge being of the highest importance. http://www.marinij.com/2016/11/21/marin-hires-firm-for-21m-civic-center-roof-project/ Wright is reputed to have said, “If the roof doesn’t leak, the architect hasn’t been creative enough.” There is a separate building behind the Civic Center that is round. The Marin (convention) Center I think it's called.
  13. This video shows the car well, from several angles.
  14. This video shows the car at the very beginning, Queens Chevrolet.
  15. Here is the list of cars - http://www.interencheres.com/vehicules/vente-de-voitures-de-collection-243124/
  16. V**2/R is the power. So R remains constant. You cut the voltage in half, the power gets cut by a factor of 1/4. Or 1/2 squared is one quarter. I would think 6V bulbs would tend to have lower resistance. To draw more current to make up for the lower voltage.
  17. The Jag looks to be in very good shape, covered storage, no or minimal rust. Wondering what are the two vehicles behind it? The dark grey one and the light tan?
  18. Doesn't look like there are any good registries, just attempts that never got off the ground. https://www.camaros.net/forums/15-tag-team/182224-how-many-members-have-68-z-28-a-16.html 10C Dale68Z orangeZZ/Blk std LOS07779 Dana Demo Cowl P.
