ANY deviation from factory stock will affect a change in value in the eyes of the strict enthusiast. That having been said, for practical purpose, non-permanent upgrades for driveability and safety are generally acceptable. I recommend changing only what can be restored to stock and saving all the stock parts. This gives you a wider market when it comes time to sell, and maybe a better price.

WOW...Talk about your niche markets!

If this center door T (previously posted for two hours on this forum) is not "Tasteful, with a period look", then some "tastes" need more than a little adjustment. P.S. There are as many claimed origins of the words "hot rod" as there are hot rods themselves. Check the web and see (and very little agreement).

It's interesting to note that this hot rod post has lasted nearly 48 hours without any negative comments and last fall a claimed $350,000. modified Model T posting was shouted down and deleted within two hours. I'm happy to see that the forum members are more tolerant, liberal and accepting now. This should open the door to highly modified cars on the forum.

With a good detail job (inside, outside, and engine bay), having the convertible top boot, and a good glass or clear vinyl rear window, the seller might get close to his asking price despite the lack of air conditioning and power windows. IMO, as-is around $13 - $14k max.

The Victoria must have been a mid-year introduction as this sales brochure does not show this model. Also, the chrome quarter panel strip leading to the tail lights must have been an option or a later addition as many examples, and the sales literature omits them.

Bottoming Gouge This gouge is deigned to clean up the bottom of wooden bowls, that hard to reach center where the grain comes together. Sometimes it is referred to as a "dog-leg" or "swan-neck" gouge. These gouges are forged from 5160 spring steel and the large gouge has an overall length of 15"-16". The blades are 1-3/4" - 2” wide and are approximately a #4 - #5 sweep. The small gouge is about 12” long and the blades vary between 1-1/2” to 1-3/4” wide. The sweep is similar to the large gouge. Handles are turned hardwood with a coper ferrule. The tight sweep gouge is similar in size to the small, but with a much tighter sweep for small bowls and mid sized kuksas.

Here's a 1932 Buick body. The seller says "no rot. good wood".

Not that it helps identify this item or the manufacturer's logo in any way, ...but...that symbol we erroneously are calling a diamond is actually a "rhombus". ...glad to straighten things out for y'all.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Traffic Motor Truck Corporation (TMTC) was a St. Louis truck manufacturer from 1917 to 1929. It used Continental engines chiefly, and sometimes Gray Victory engines. The company was based at 5200 North Second Street. Guy C. Wilson was TMTC's president and Theodore C. Brandle was its vice president. Stephen W. Avery was the company's advertising manager. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic_Motor_Truck_Corporation Text Appearing Before Image: 104 THE SATURDAY EVENING POST November 13,1920 Text Appearing After Image: Ci!! lorse Setis< Nearly one-third of all motor-driven vehicles are used in agriculture. Extensive plans are being made throughout the country to keep highways clear of snow and ice this winter. Motor vehicles have done more for the development of good roads than all other agencies combined in the history of traffic on highways. Profits from hauling are measured by economy of operation—first cost and last cost. You will haul with a Traffic Truck if you are deter-mined to make a new profit out of your hauling, just as thousands have already done with Traffics. The Traffic saves hundreds of dollars in first cost,hundreds of dollars in maintenance cost, and cuts in half the cost of hauling with teams. It hauls a 4,000-lb. load 14 miles in one hour for 30c worth of gasoline. The Traffic Truck has never carried a war price. Our present low price is hundreds of dollars under that of any other truck i

I don't understand why you would want to deviate from a tried and true, proven method of sealing and preserving a tank by possibly ruining it during the plating process or later finding out that whatever fuel you put inside it reacted with the plating and may have even damaged more of the fuel delivery system or even the engine. I can also envision future disagreements between you and your plating shop as to what might have gone wrong and who's fault it might be. For my money, and peace of mind, I'd go with a proven tank sealer and not experiment. I have used DIY products and also farmed out the job locally and have always been satisfied over the years. Good luck, whatever your choice is.

Yes, there were other models of the A40 other than the 4-door (the Devon) including a 2-door sedan, (the Dorset), a panel truck (Devon Van), a pickup, a convertible (the Tourer) and even a station wagon (the Countryman). P.S. They all came with hubcaps...

This is Sebastien's 1978 Dodge. I believe it is a faux police car. His parents have an early '40's Buick sedan. ...and he owns this Subaru BRG, I believe.

Well, it's a truck now, but it probably was a touring car originally.

The ebay auction has closed. Sold for $5,400. but I thought it was an interesting, unique and authentic car that might dredge up some memories and comments. The seller's description is a yard long and he included a lot more pictures. https://www.ebay.com/itm/145618787873?itmmeta=01HWPPQHHC1DQ71CSPMCZHH122&hash=item21e78e5e21:g:tpsAAOSwr2Zl0TMI&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8KF43P2POhnyqYSnd%2B%2FdQ%2Fa4kdyicMlcnagxRaBPqkPeudeGyBSsEiJ97Nh%2FB8HgTpu5jODiuo%2BdW8sEFKgkrSg7Sih6LgKS3j6r616a6wWYFLAKL%2FD95H5EkMPKu5lwLqxq9zlO2hK5OP9eSH9J0%2B7InBeVcw9w0i5kLaaf15bhgoZw1ai6VmsFa%2B7J%2Fj9qeuZFgTRBfSF1Xo0WUOfel6rb8kOGWkUY841y88e6hLWdpdM%2BsgpQY0hG2AebLWccaNYoHCWwjRH2cNMbPZH2tvqwrtwGX6sJHAln%2Bq5uNF3cz8hoZniIKgENMoZSvnXE0g%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR-CY3tblYw Some of the fleet were used as military police cars.

An interesting and creative choice...Americans call that fabric (material) "burlap". Same thing. Having been in the 'antiques' business for a number of years, I found and have used a faux distressed leather material (such as below) on furniture and in a few old cars. It has the appearance of old, worn leather and holds up well to normal use. Its available on Amazon as well as from other sources from about US$10.00/yard x 54 inches wide and on up, in a variety of colors and patterns. It might be a suggestion for your next project or for others looking to maintain an original, weathered appearance.

You guys are "all-right". Having loads of fun and saving $$ while you're at it. What happens when you purchase a new part? Do you "antique" it before installing? P.S. re: Thermette Nothing like a hot toddy* along the way on a brisk day of touring! *Classic Hot Toddy Recipe — Warm up with this classic hot toddy cocktail recipe! Hot toddies are easy to make. You'll just need hot water, whiskey, honey, and lemon.

John, thanks for your reply and the attached link. I particularly liked the old Dodge among the other pictures in he assortment. That's my kind of car.
