  1. Hi, I just went through this for our new trailer. 1. I would go for the extra two feet in length. If you ever get a longer car, or if you sell the trailer, the small extra cost will be well spent. I believe that 45 degree angle is the best for the tie-downs. 2. Get the height to allow for the top up. When you get caught in the rain you don't want to be delayed putting the top down before driving into the trailer. 3. Yes, if they have a trailer that is high enough. Be sure that the tie-down rings are anchored to the steel framework below the floor. Our friend got his trailer and they were only bolted through the plywood floor. Best to have a one-piece roof. No roof vent, side vents instead. Less chance for leaks. Feel free to reply with any other questions. We have four quotes, and just put in our order yesterday.
  2. Hi, Can anyone verify that this is correct for our '26 G-70 Chrysler. I'm not sure, but it looks to be too large in diameter and too short. Thanks.
  3. Hi, I did the Great Race last year as support for Team 75, 1940 Ford convertible. Took 2nd place in rookie class. Great fun and excitement Check out website for photos, etc.: greatrace.com Vehicles 1969 and earlier.

  18. Hi, Almost!! I went out to start up the Chrysler to take a neighbor to the free Vet's Day lunch at Applebys but the battery wasn't happy enough to turn the starter. Perhaps a new battery is due. The date on the one in the car now is August, 2001! Nice weather hear today. Saw someone on the way with their Model T.

  21. Hi, Sandy has lost nearly all "her" energy here in Western NY. Cloudy day with some drizzles. Back to Hershey finds. Not a big find, but a rare one; a motor cylinder pet cock, Packard part # 101603. Unique to our 3rd Series Twin Six. 1/8 pipe thread, with a 30 degree opening on the cup end. Probably paid too much for it, but will easily clean up for plating.
  22. Hi cBen, We have the wind here in Canandaigua, NY, but might not send it to Maine. Latest map has the eye going up Interstate 81 from Harrisburg, PA on the way to Montreal. Keep your powder dry!!
  23. Hershey Moxie Tasting Update Thursday, October 11th, 4:00PM, Space C2I-44 From a rough tally, we had over 40 brave souls show up for the 2nd annual Moxie tasting on Thursday afternoon. We observed only one lady who declined to finish her sample. At the other extreme, two young folk asked for refills. Save the date for the 3rd annual: Thursday, October 10, 2013. Same time and place.
