I will try that. I'll just double up on the straps!😁

Plmouthcranbrook, I hear ya, I'm 72 and have all I need except for my late love Margie and some pain medication. A lift would be nice also! o oo

I like O'reilly's. I didn't at first. I thought they are more expensive than the others. But the 99% of the time they have what I want and of is of good quality. They also are helpful.as they can be

Roadworthy rescues , Derek inspired me to not be afraid to drive any shit box home from where ever!

Me too! I thought I was the only knucklehead to do this because all my buddies think i'm touched. But it works for all the reasons stated by the others. My cousin has a carpet business and when mine gets dirty or oily I call him for something he's gonna tear out and leaves it big. Me I prefer thicker , it's mucho more comfey although rolling smaller wheels around is a little difficult ercult me too

I was there in 2018 on a trip across country and I did a lot of 66. It was open to the public I bought a few gifts for family and friends and they even had some vintage clothing for sale. Very nice people! I was driving my late wife's 2003 Mercedes SLK 320 back and forth from Mass to Arizona as a tribute to her( she loved Arizona). I have an oringinal condition 52 Merc 4 door Custom I drive regularly. But your car , your car is beautiful!

Hey I also have a 4 door Merc Custom totally original (except for wear parts) that I would post a picture of if I could figure out how. Anyway I thought the same thing until it wouldn't crank. Had it rebuilt and like you said "varoom". Of course I started with the solinoid .....hoping

I agree with JFranklin. My 1952 Merc in original condition used to crank over so slow. I just figured that how a 6v was. When I had the starter rebuilt it was push the button varoom!

I had to laugh about the ol' lady, Sorry, but thank you , I needed a laff

Cribbing IS the way to go! There's plenty of 4x4s and 6x6s in dumpsters at home building sites or elsewhere. When I get them I just cut em to the appropriate size needed.

Pictures of what?, the tires? p

Good advice guys. I'm going to test drive Akstraw's chaulk thing. For what it's worth, (and because I didn't know any better) I have been using the tire pressure recomended for the original bias tires on my 1952 Mercury sedan, for the radials now on it, no problem. I recently drove 125mi mostly highway at speeds up to 65mph, again no problemo! The tires have been on the vehicle at least 20,000 mi.

I sent in my yearly sub check in Dec. thus far it has not been cashed and I have not received a mag since Sept. either. I was wondering what was going on and when I looked online I found this thread and I guess I'm not alone. I'm fairly new to the hobby and I love SK. I buy all the back issues I can find!

Hello, I'll tell you what. From personal experience , after new pumps , hoses belts etc. my 52 Merc as still running a little warm. I bought and installed a new radiator cap and she's been fine ever since. Even during this past hot summer! i

I'm thinking on adding an electric fuel pump as a backup. Does any one have a suggestion as to the type or model (size?) I should use?
