[1917 packard twin six]

Looks like the one that I found upside down North of Rome NY in the late 1970s'

Hood and gas tank look like 3rd Series Twin Six. Windshield support looks like 2nd Series.

Did you find the serial #? It's on the engine base on the LH side near where it mounts to the frame.

Hi,

You asked for it.

Here it is:

Folks have ID it as a '31 Model A.

Most likely the photo taken in 1953 or '54.

In our side yard under the apple tree.

$15.00 and, if I remember, free delivery. Frame included.

The body followed me to school where I put it together with a '32 Ford frame and 6 wheels  and sold the package for $50.00

My Chrysler and the wife's Corvair both get shell Rotella

Much cheaper than an engine rebuild.

[The Doctor's 356]

Thanks for the post. A similar model. was recently sent to auction from here.

Is it a normal, or "SC" designation?

It's the same year as the 356 Speedster that I sold in '64 and wish I had kept.

[It’s that time of year, at least for me. - to start mowing and yard work]

Time to get the '26 Chrysler out.

It started up pronto and we went for a short ride.

Then felt lucky and the "curb find" lawnmower started on the third pull, so the grass got the first trim on the year.

I have a confession to make: I removed a sparkplug from a scrapped Moon block: Packard script. Realized it belonged in my connection, not to the Moon collectors.

[Screwy screws]

And... there are the Robertson fasteners, as one who has a Model T Ford made in Canada has discovered.

Wickipedia will tell you all that you need to know about them.

Driver bits are available at Lowes

Do we have Form buttons ?

Yes, I don't know where my original button that was produced by Dave Devine is now, so I created a replica. 

 Does anyone remember the Friday lunches on the upper floor of the King George pub across the street?

Still conniving to make it this year. First year was 1980.

Skinned Knuckles was a better deal.

So sad to see him go.

Hi Folks,

Yes, Walt. It doesn't have the old kick.

We experiment from time to time and agree that the ingredient that the Feds made them take out changed the traditional taste.

The best that we have done to correct this is to add a shot of Jagermeister to each serving.

Please let us know if you agree that with that.

Bill B.

[Split rim spreaders]

Hi,

Thanks for posting this.

Quick question: No new flap?

[Split rim spreaders]

Right on, Dennis.

Yes, the rim spreader shown is for a different type of rim.

Be sure to wrap the tire and rim with safety straps or chain, as Dennis warned.

I have a stupid brother-in-law who changed a truck tire outside of a cage. The lock ring game off when he inflated the tire. Broke both arms, and coller bone. Hard way to learn.

Good luck, and please send a photo.

[Split rim spreaders]

Hi,

We have a 1926 Chrysler that has 20" split rims.

We use a Universal Rim Tool to spread the rim to get the tire off.

I remember a post on this forum that had a copy of the instructions for using it.

I'll take a photo and post it here.

You should use 600 weight steam cylinder oil. A product of Mobil.

Check with your local lubricant distributor.

I have some left in a 5-gallon pail that I can provide.
