House With Nearly 300 Classic Cars for $400K - Canaan, NH
drhach replied to Twisted Shifter's topic in General Discussion
I would suspect those people are in the minority. -
Did you get it started?

Maybe the car doesn't need rings and bearings. Do a thorough check of it's condition. You may only need a valve job. If that's the case, pull the head and drop it off at the machine shop. Money, time and effort saved. No sense replacing parts that don't need replacing.

Download Fusion 360. It's free for hobbyists. They ask that you not use it to make money and there's some functionality that you don't have access to with the free version. But I personally haven't felt the need for any of it. From your drawings you can generate a file that can be read by anyone in any industry that uses this stuff. Yes, there is a learning curve but the skills translate to other projects, so it's hardly wasted effort. Regards, Dan

That reminds of the of time I was in my insurance provider's office. I was talking to the Secretary about something to do with a project in my garage. She's said, "if you were my husband, I would never let you junk up my garage". I said, "don't worry, I would never marry you". That pretty much ended that conversation.

I have no good reason for buying one of those, but I really want one.

Should 25 year old cars really be called "Antiques"?
drhach replied to f.f.jones's topic in General Discussion
I think the issue lies more with the age of the owners than the cars. If the car is an antique, what does it say about the guy who was a teenager when the car was new? -
40 Buick special not charging battery
drhach replied to Business_As_Usual's topic in Buick - Pre War
My 42 has three terminals and it is correct. -
The same auction has a 78 Lincoln Mark V that's only bid to $200. It's in slightly better shape.

I'm anxious to hear your driving impressions once you have this beast back together.

Are there a lot of rich junkyard owners out there? -
Those tumblers are readily available on Ebay and you can rekey the lock to your key's code. It isn't hard at all, I did it :).

Your shop manual should have a reamer specification.

Fitzee's a genius. The only problem is that he makes it look easy.

1942 Special Convertible Project $10,000
drhach replied to B Jake Moran's topic in Buick - Buy/Sell - Not Mine
I wonder if you could even find convertible specific parts for that car. Maybe Chevy parts cross over? -
All the cool kids have tach's. Everyone knows that.

Have you considered doing it yourself? There's quite a bit of good documentation available and Fatsco sells a rebuild kit. You may be pleasantly surprised with your results. Regards, Dan

There's a ton of information on this forum as well. Yellow Bullet Forums They are mostly drag racing guys, but lots of stuff regarding problem solving and they build their trannies for toughness.

Where did you get that flexible fuel line? I wouldn't mind replacing the one on my Special.

I started using mayo for my fries when I gave up sugar (ketchup is loaded with sugar). It's actually pretty good. I've come to prefer it.

Great work as always Roger! -
I've always loved that Chevy orange. The engine looks great.
