  1. I have used Kwik Poly on some wood on a 16 Elgin that was dry rotted to about powder and felt like balsa wood. Kwik Poly made it hard as a rock, the stuff saturated right in the the wood and hardened to give the wood good usable strength. I didn't even have to remove the body panels just the upholstery.
  2. They now have a cover for 6 volt 850 Optima batteries http://www.batteriesareus.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=139&products_id=74
  3. Did the picture name give it away?
  4. This photo was labled on the back. But just for fun I thought I would post it.
  5. I would like to know what year this touring car is?
  6. Buy a cheap set of wrenches you can always use large wrenches on an old car. Harbor Freight has them for $45 that includes a 2 inch http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=925 I bought a set many years ago and I have never been man enough to break one.
  7. Give America's Packard Museum 420 S. Ludlow St. Dayton, Ohio 45402 Office 937.226-1710 Fax 937.224.1918 events@americaspackardmuseum.org a call or email. The rent them for weddings. It sticks in my mind he told me $350 a day for the town car a few years ago.
  8. I have had much better luck with Carlisles.
  9. Thanks. I disconnected the line at the carb and put a rubber hose on it into a can. Hopefully by tomorrow (drip, drip)it will have drained the gas out so I can clean the tank screen. I am pretty sure this is what it is be cause a while ago it leaned out at about a 1/4 tank then was fine when I fill it up. and now it leaned at 1/2 tank.
  10. Thanks I'm new to Model As so I havea lot to learn. The car had set for 7 years before I got it, so I would guess your right.
  11. I drove my 28 Model A to work this morning and on the High way it started leaning out and back firing. It was cold so I just pulled the choke a little and made it to town no problems. At lunch it ran fine till I was on a road with a 2 mile stretch of 45 mph It leaned down a basically ran out of gas. I coasted in a parking lot and after it sat it started right up. I drove to my first stop without any more problems. Right before I got to my second stop it leaned out again and a coasted in the parking lot. After shopping it started right up and I drove to the highway and it ran out of gas again. I let it sit, it started up and but I only made it ½ mile and it sputtered again. First I check gas ½ tank. Then I pulled to plug out of the bottom of the carb and gas just dribbled out. So I pulled the line for the carb and gas just dribbled out. I removed the gas cap to check for a plugged vent, no differences. I removed the glass sediment bowl and gas just dribbled out. I put it back together and drove it home letting it set, driving about a ½ mile costing to a stop ,starting it up and driving and other ½ mile all the way home. Before I tear in to the gas tank I wanted to know what kind of a flow rate should be flowing at the sediment bowl. Should it have a good flow or just a trickle. If it should be just a trickle I need to look elsewhere for my problem. Thanks

  13. Not sure about the mirror base, but the lens looks like a 1962 Imperial.
  14. I know I ordered a new 1979 Mustang and no option of halogen headlights. I bought a new 1982 Escort wagon and it had halogen headlights that burned out in 2 months and Wagner replaced them free of charge after I complained.
  15. What state are you in? There may be easier and cheaper way.
  16. I agree with between Bryson City and Cherokee North Carolina just outside of Bryson City. I rode the train, I think I have some pictures somewhere. There was even a wrecked train from the fugitive movie.
  17. Each state is going to be different. If your in Indiana I can help.
  18. Buy (or check out the library) Ray Millers book Henry's lady or Jim Schild's book Original Ford Model A. Both have a lot of AR pictures.
  19. I our area dirty crushed stone just means the stone is not washed after crushing so it contains stone dust, when used with a good base it will pack down like concrete, without any dust problem. It will work well for a parking area as long as the base is good do not put it over a soft area as it will disappear. We do not have crushed gavel in our area, only crushed stone, gavel is sorted and sold in the size it is mined.
  20. If you want to watch something funny watch this top gear. http://videos.streetfire.net/video/Top-Gear-Peel-P50_139353.htm
