  1. Looking for the pieces to make the car complete. It came without a carbide generator for the headlights. Merle tells me it should be a "Westchester" or a "Maxwell". I've not seen either, so I don't know what I'm looking for. Anyone have a picture they can post or a good verbal discription? Maybe an original ad that has a good picture?<BR>Thanks,<BR>Jim

  2. Bill,<BR>Don't forget, if you take your antique or modern vehicle to Canada, you'll need a card from your insurance carrier to certify that your insured in Canada as well. They don't check for it but if you have an accident, you'll need it!<BR>Jim

  3. Flea Market stuff came today. <BR>Thou shalt not put anything in the blacktop. Thou shalt put pads this wide by this long by this thick under everything except apparently tires, but nothing about requiring hold down weights. <BR>Good sense dictates they should be used, but I'm suprised they arn't mentioned. <BR>(I don't think I missed their mention.)

  4. The pipe from the exhaust ports to the muffler is a Y shape, very smooth flowing, the hot rod boys would love it. Sorry I don't have any dimensions. Much smoother than the intake side.<BR>Hope this helps.

  5. Keene Report.<BR>Bob Mahoney was there with his "new" '09 A project, met Meryle Sinomsa from Sacramento Ca. great source of information. Also met the fellow that did the mechanical restoration of my car. Great fellowship and actually made a couple bucks too!<BR>Jim

  6. We'll be at the Big Flats Rivet Co. tent at the Keene HCCA meet looking for anyone that wants to talk Maxwells. We just bought AA8377 and I'm anxious to learn all I can. The Banner will be up so stop by.

  7. Ok, tires for the older cars. We're working on a 1918 Model T, hoping to be a "Hershey car".<BR>What are the preferable tires for this car?<BR>White, if they are correct(were they originally _white_ or ?) are just becoming available again. Smoothies are questionable for a car that will be eventually used to tour with. Or are we safe with black treaded Firestones (not Non-Skids)on all 4.<BR>We, of course, be using metal stem tubes etc.<BR>We're close to buying tires so we need to know the latest feeling.<BR>Thanx,<BR>Jim<BR>
