[Brake Drums]

What's the fix for scored brake drums, other than turning tham down.

We're talking about 16 1/2" OD X 4 1/2" deep.

Is there a welding process that is safe and durable?

Thanks for your thoughts,

Hi Folks,

I found Lexol products at our local farm supply store. In the horse tack section.

Prices were reasonable and no packing and shipping costs.

[PAINT CODE]

Hi Nearchoclatetown,

Thanks for your reply and offer.

I only need about a quart. It's the color for early (pre 1923) Packard engine paint.

I got a chip from Hirsch, but it was too dark. Probably for later Packards.

[JUNKYARD DREAMING UPSTATE NY]

Hi,

This looks familiar.

Is it the one a short distance northwest of Utica?

We took an excursion train ride this fall that passed by a junkyard that looked like this. It was hard to keep some from jumping off the train to investigate.

[PAINT CODE]

HI,

Does anyone have the paint code for the green used on the Bell Telephone trucks around the late 1950's? Also, what is added to the mix to make the paint an engine enamel?

[WANTED: PISTONS]

Hi,

I need a set (12) pistons for our Packard Twin Six. 3" bore + .030", .75" pin dia., 2.034" compression height, and 3 5/16" height.

Does anyone know a source for a set of stock pistons?

I have a quote from Egge for a set, but have to believe that there must exist a set of off-the-shelf pistons that will work.

Thanks.

[WOODEN WHEEL FINISH]

Thanks for checking in on this post.

I called PPG today, but didn't get a firm answer about the primer over the linsead oil on the wood. They did,however, remind me that the flex additive for the finish coats would be good. This is used when painting plastic "bumpers" on modern iron.

Good suggestion about the wheel turner. We have one. I'll get a photo of it when we get to the painting.

[Vehicle Storage]

I pay $100.00 for the season for each vehicle in an unheated wood frame garage.

Season from November through May.

A few miles out of town (Canandaigua, NY).

[WOODEN WHEEL FINISH]

I'm in the process of finishing the wheels for our Packard Twin Six.

I've completed the linseed oil treatment and are getting ready for paint.

What process should I use to get to color? What primer will be compatable?

Obviously, the big concern here is adhesion.

I'm working with PPG paints.

Any help will be appreciated.

Hi,

Thanks for all your inputs.

Here's a photo of the floor timber work. Some pieces are in place for trial fitting.

[ToGlue Or Not To Glue]

I'm rewooding a body and don't find any evidence of glue in the joints where the old wood joins.

Is there some reason for this?

Should the joints remain flexible?
