    Homak tool chest

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Hi there, 

    Did a quick search but didn't see anything. Any thoughts on Homak tool boxes from anyone here?

    There is one locally available here and just wondering if it is worth looking at. Has both bottom and top box. 11 drawers total. 

    Thanks 

    Have you owned the same car more than once?

    Yeah kind of, my first car, a white with black vinyl top 1969 mercury cougar. Sold it to a couple of guys doing construction in the Colorado mountains. Don't remember the time frame from when I sold it and got it back but they had run it off the road over a tree stump and left it. Found out they never registered it in their name so the state patrol had it towed to the local impound yard.

    Contacted me and I went and got it and ended up stripping it and had the remains towed away for scrap

    Yeah, I spent a few minutes thinking about how they got that car back onto the ground. 

    Probably brought in a crain to lift the rear of the car and then back the truck up and lower the car to the ground 

    eBay & PayPal

    Hi there, I know this is NOT directly an Antique Automobile question, and I thought I remember reading recently about someone else have issues.

    Did eBay & PayPal change their way of doing business recently? I just made a purchase on eBay and used PayPal as the method of payment.

    I specifically said to use my PayPal Credit account for this purchase and not the bank card I have on file. I just got confirmation of the purchase and see that indeed they (PayPal) used the bank card anyway. It seems to me that something has changed but I can't put my finger on it.

    Again, Sorry for posting a 'non automobile' question, but I thought others might want to know. I just now removed the bank card from PayPal to prevent this from happening again.

    Can't give an opinion either way. Home laptop running Windows 10 using Chrome or Google, Galaxy Android Smart phone, neither one will load this web site. I have protections set fairly high on the laptop and the phone is protected as well, maybe that's the reason? Temporally disabled all protections and still won't load.

    So I guess if you can see it and use it, consider yourself lucky!

    Anyone here belong to the Hagerty Drivers Club? Be ready for a shock. I just received my renewal for next year and was blown away by a $25 increase.

    It was only $45 last year and is now $70. Wow, no explanation or nothing. Did I miss something or??

    Only reason I have the membership is because of the magazine mostly. Some member only events but this might make me rethink renewing.

     

    Clarification on Craftsmen Wrench Markings

    rocketraider,

     

    Thanks much for those links. I have an account for the Garage Journal so I'll look more at that. Briefly read a post tonight on Craftsmen tool markings. Will study further another time. The Alloy Artifacts web site looks like a great site as well with lots of information. Will dive into that more as well.

    Thanks

    Hey Everyone,

    I don't believe there is a specific "Tool" section, so I'll ask here.

    I'm in the process of organizing all of my tools so when I start to do some serious work on my car, I can find what I need😁

    On my Sears craftsmen open and box end wrenches, I've noticed that some are marked with the size (obviously), A 5digit number, and either a VV,VA or a V. Is there any rhyme or reason behind these letter designations even though they came from the same set when new? These are probably late '70's early '80's wrenches. Seems the larger sizes are marked VA and the smaller sizes change to the VV marking. The single V marking shows up on some of the metric sizes.

    Not a big deal, just wanted to hear what others think.

    Thanks

    Dealer Information needed - Midland tx Lincoln-Mercury-Rambler

    in General Discussion

    Posted · Edited by 9F94M567042 (see edit history)

    So, an update. I had contacted another Lincoln-Mercury dealer in Midland and got back the following information.

    The dealer in question, Midland Lincoln-Mercury-Rambler/Village Lincoln Mercury was sold to Rodgers Ford Lincoln in the early 2000's

    It was owned by Fred Stella. He retired and moved to Scottsdale AZ and passed away in 2010.

    The dealership is no longer at the location in the telephone ad.

    Might get further information next week. So, little by little!!

    Dealer Information needed - Midland tx Lincoln-Mercury-Rambler

    Hi Everyone,

    I think this is a good place to post this. If not, go ahead and move.

    I would like to inquire and see if anyone out there has any information at all in regards to this Mercury dealership in Texas.

    I have attached an ad from the 1969 March edition of the telephone book for Midland, TX showing the Mercury dealer in question.

    I would be very interested in obtaining any advertisements, dealer brochures, license frames, anything really as it pertains to this dealership.

    My 1969 Mercury Cougar XR7 Convertible was sold from there new in April 1969. Possibly ordered from there as well.

    I appricate anyone's help.

    It's the ad for Midland Lincoln-Mercury-Rambler BTW
