I went with one large roll up that opens up two bays of the three bay garage. I like to let the Sun and Air in while I'm working on the vehicles. Also the larger width makes it easier to get in and our verses two individual bays each with their own door. IMO I have panel windows across the width of the Roll Up to let light in when closed and allows me to see out side.

I converted my Navy Slides by projecting them on a white wall at home and snapping pictures of them with my Cell phone and my Digital Camera. From the Cell Phone I forward the Pictures to my Email address to down loaded the Pictures to the computer. Easy to do and the quality was surprisingly good. With the Digital Camera, with a SD memory card, same process except you take the Camera SD Memory Card out after taking the pictures and put the SD Card in the computer if it has the slot for down loading SD Cards.

Might want to check out what's involved with re-titling.

Yes......Coker Firestone Wide Oval starting at $169 in the Summit Catalog.

Spray the linkages and any other moving parts with WD40 and see if that helps. Might need to see if you can move the blades by hand.

HAY......Wow, it's one of my favorite Chevy's, a '55 TWO DOOR POST!

Maybe you can just add their names to the Titles as joint owners?

This argument will never be resolved as both positions are correct for two different opinions on what a classic car needs, or does not need to be. Basically it's your car, you own it and make what you want it to be that makes you happy. As for over restoration if you look at fine art hanging on the walls of the best Museums, most have been touched up at one time or another. Coin collectors are told to never clean or polish their coins as it devalues them which is true. Some think shined up polished coins would increase their value and be easier to sell, not true. Different strokes for different folks.

If the only incorrect item on your car are the Radial Tires, which is -5 points for each tire, or a total of -20 points out of 400 that leaves you with a score of 380. In the Judging Class you begin trying for First Junior that requires a score not lower the 365. Once you win First Junior you enter the next year trying for First Senior which you need a score not lower then 380, and once you win this one you go for Grand National that requires a score not lower then 380. From there on you will enter each year in Preservation for an Award requiring a score not lower them 360. I you have other cars in your class that are more correct you can still win 2nd or 3rd. Now having said all that remember that you will also need a correct SPARE TIRE, plus there might be things that will hurt you such as not having Sealed Beam Head lights. Most people replace sealed beams when they burn out with newer types used today. It's easy to over look these sort of things, ask me how I know! It's all part of the fun and making corrections over the years is part of the Hobby that I have enjoyed the most. What I did with my '68 AMX, that had non original type Radial Tires on correct Magnum 500 Rims was to go buy another set of correct Rims and Coker Bias Ply Belted tires of the correct size and style. I switch the Tire/Rim set up depending on where I'm going. It takes less then and hour to change all 4 Wheels. Your Corvair looks like it has steel rims that shouldn't be too expensive to find and your wheel trim should be interchangeable. Again don't forget the Spare. My Spare is a correct inflatable Space Saver Tire. I'll never use it if I get a flat. One last comment about Bias Ply Tires, yes they can be less desirable a can take a little while getting use too. How ever I was shocked at how a new set of correct Gable New Shocks for Vintage Cars fixed 90% of the problems? Now I too have kept on the car and run with the Red Line Bias Ply Tires all the time. I drive to all Shows and feel it's important that the cars be seen everywhere they go.

Just for the record, I never buy New Cars! I wait and look for cars that are 2 to 4 years old. Many of the 4 year Old cars at places like Carmax are Leased Vehicles that the Leasing Companies are rotating out. We recently bought one from Carmax, a like new 2014 Chevy Equinox with 16,000 miles on it for a price less the half the cost of the new ones. Carmax gets the cars from the Auto Auctions that only Brokers can attend. When you trade a car in at Car max it too goes directly to the Auction, not to their Show Room or Sales Lot to be sold. Basically they are flipping cars. We traded in a VW Tiquan which covered half of the sell price Carmax wanted for the used 2014 Equinox. The Trade in lowered the cost to where we could pay cash for the like new Equinox. No Car Payments, or loans.

Slightly off topic, sort of, but what amazes me are the Adds on TV for New Cars and Trucks. They do not mention the price to buy the vehicle, they only tell you what the Monthly Leased Vehicle Cost starts at for the vehicle?

Had a similar problem and decided not to worry about it, it's Kiddies' problem and on them. I doubt that it matters and put the too large for the Kiddie Box in the box and taped it with packing tape then put it in the shipping box with the peanuts around it. I did call Kiddie and they said they were aware of this problem and indicated they were handling thousands of returns which to me says they wouldn't be getting to a solution for this for awhile. What can they do about it if something happens when returned, nothing I think and doubt that it's a major problem. One other interesting thing is they sent a nice Trigger Handle type to replace a less expensive Button Type recalled. Sounds like they a discontinuing the Button Type.

Looking forward to seeing your Rebel when you get it going. Potomac Ramblers have an All AMC Day at the Mason Dixon Drag-way in Boons Borrow Md, which is South of Frederick Maryland. It's usually in the Fall each year. Maryland, Virginia and Pennsylvania AMC Cars gather on the Show Field and the Guys with the AMC Drag cars Race all day. Venders with AMC Parts will be there also. I drive down from Pa. each year. Check your area for a club, AMC people help each other. I Video most Shows I attend and post on you tube.. Below is a 3 part Video I made of the 2016 gathering at Mason Dixon Drag way.

I got the replacement for the first one I called in. I called the other 2 in after I got the first replacement. Should see the replacements this week. Pretty painless and easy process getting it done. The return label that comes with the replacements and has a phone number to call, FedX or UPS. They schedule a pickup, leave the return boxes at the front door with the return label on the boxes, and they're gone next day.

Not sure but think it depends on which Wiper your' Rebel has. There were two versions, one Wiper worked from a vacuum hose that came off of the Fuel pump and the other worked from an electrical motor at the washer I think. My 68 AMX wipers are run by an electrical Motor. There were two different Fuel Pumps also. The Electric Wiper fuel pump did not have a vacuum hose connection point where as the Vacuum Motor Fuel Pumps had a connection point specificly for the vacuum hose to connect to the wiper motor. Good luck sorting it out. You might want to join the AMC Form where you can ask for help on this one. http://theamcforum.com/forum/

No radiator over flow jug back then, possibly because there was a sticker near the fill cap that says to keep the fill level 1 1/2 when hot to 2 inches when cold below the rear of the filler neck. Don't fill it any higher. The Cap will vent water through the escape hose on the neck to the ground if over filled. The windshield washer fluid uses a bag with a pump that mounts on the passenger inner front fender . I've never used mine but have it for judging. they're possibly hard to find. Try the vendors from me previous message. They have online catalogs. It's good you're interested in all this, that's what makes the Old Car Hobby interesting and fun, searching for info, parts and ideas never ends.

Kalve check out Potomac Rambles AMO Car Club which might be close to your location. They just hosted the AMO National in Gettysburg Pa.this Summer with a huge turn out, about 250 plus Cars, Parts and information. AMO stands for American Motors Owners Club, a National Club specific to AMC cars including Rambles, Nash and American Motors cars, all years all models. Go into You Tube and search AMO National Convention, Gettysburg 2017. Also to find PARTS for your new Classic go online and visit Kennedy American www.kennedyamerican.com and also American Parts Depot www.americanpartsdepot.com . Lastly the leading authority for AMC information Parts and information is Eddie Stake at Planet Houston AMX, www.planethoustonamx.com . Eddie is very receptive to providing expert information and has recycled AMC parts. Now as for "SST", it is mostly an upgrade for trim and accessories, not so much for high performance upgrades.

I have three being replaced. I called Kiddie and gave them all the info, pretty easy to do. They're sending replacements with instructions for the return of the recalled ones. Usually the way it works is when you get the replacement, you put the recalled one in the box the new one came in. Kiddie includes a return label to put on the box and then UPS comes to pick it up. No cost involved in getting it done.

The other possible issue is if the Badges were lost, or removed and not passed on with the Car to new owners can the new owner re enter Meets and start the process over by gong for 1st Junior? This opens the door for a new owner to continued the preservation of the car and enjoy the results if successful. On the down side it could devalue the car temporarily by not acknowledging it's passed success. However if the car re enters the Show field and achieves current success, it might increase it's value above what it is valued at from success achieved years ago?

Does any one know how many cars hit the Show Field this year? Seemed to be a bigger turn out then I can ever remember.

The question of Repo vs Re-chrome asked about a Truck Bumper which is easily reproduced and generally in stock for immediate shipment at a lesser cost then shipping your original bumper and waiting weeks to get it re-chromed. 10 years ago I bought from LMC Truck a Chrome front bumper for my '69 Chevy C10. It fits perfectly and looks great. If the part was rare and hard to find as a reproduction I'd have it rechromed, but Truck Bumpers are not that hard to find. The comment about Repro Parts Fit problems is true but not always the case. I replaced the Doors on my Chevy with doors from JC Whitney and they fit perfectly.

Didn't see the Drone but heard it over head. I belonged for years to an RC Club and stopped flying as the new age of Drones are taking over. Drones and RC Helicopters don't mix well with fixed wing planes. If you can fly a Computer Simulator you can fly the expensive Drones, the ones in the $2K cost range, using a lap top computer screen and joy stick. The screen on the Lap Top shows what the camera on the Drone is shooting. Watching these Drones from the ground, line of sight isn't how they are flown. If you lose sight of the drone it is programmed to go auto pilot and will stop at 3 miles turn around by its self fly straight back and land at you feet where it took off using GPS. Any dummy can buy and fly one, no skill required. However Drones for lesser cost that require Line of Sight only to fly can be challenging to an inexperienced pilot, hard to see and control. I did see a Drone fly over the field last year and wondered if this was allowed. The FAA requires that they be Registered and there are Restrictions. Also I saw a Bi Plane circle the Show Field Saturday, not sure if he was restricted, but if not he would be required to fly same rules as the Banner Planes that fly over the Stadiums. He wasn't towing a banner.

I agree with auburn's method and can only add that I always have a incandescent Light Bulb burning 24/7 usually, just a 60Watt Bulb to be a heat source and a fan to circulate the air. When humidity is really high I use two or three to dry out the air. Also, I use a California Duster as needed to remove the dust, and Miquires Quick Detailer to remove any harder stuff like what the bugs and birds might leave.

Hemmings Daily on line today HEAD LINE has a nice right up announcing to all the New Head Quarters Building. "Hemmings Daily: AACA to buy larger building for its headquarters and library" Looks like we've gone full circle resolving the issue and BIG CONGRATULATIONS to our Board for making the decisions that led up to this. Just wonder how long they knew about this location becoming available? Not that it matters, other then smart they held off talking about it until it was a sure thing. WOW!
