[My New Garage Journey!]

Hi Mark,

Thanks for posting this

Suggestion: As  soon as the concrete floor is properly cured, have an epoxy coating "installed".

I didn't do that, and the road salt used here has ruined the surface. All pitted and flaking off.

 

[Theoretical automotive math problem]

Safe RPM??

Yes,  128 RPM below the RPM which will have #6 rod part company with the crank and migrate with a big explosion through the crankcase.

[Access to original manufacturing drawings]

I'm aware that the Packard drawings have survived.

Hi,

You've seen this before.

Santa getting a ride down Main Street in Canandaigua, NY the Saturday after Thanksgiving.

The parade route was lined by several thousand folks, young and old.

I even got a "thank you" card from Santa!!

 

[Did you get anything car related for Christmas?]

For our first Christmas after we were married,  Grace bought me a subscription to the AACA Magazine.

The December issue of the magazine has been under our tree every Christmas since.

Lots of water under the bridge since 1964, but still enjoying all that AACA and the hobby offers.

[Brass Maine license plate]

Interesting reason.

I owned a 1951 Chevrolet in the early 1960s that had steel tanks on the radiator. Steel instead of brass because of short supplies of brass during the Korean war. Many corrosion leaks that Barrs Leak couldn't fix. Even after four jars. Finally replaced the radiator for the grand sum of $35.00.

[Brass Maine license plate]

Issued in Maine in 1948.

There was a garage shingled with them back in the day.

I'm sure gone now.

[Judging Milestone Awards]

Thanks,

[Curfew For Generators]

Hi,

I checked the info that went out with the flea market registration and found the rule on generators " No running between 11:00PM until 6:00AM."

I don't find any repeat of this rule in the info that came with my windshield sticker.

I'm scheduled for my eye exam soon, so that might be the problem.

[Curfew For Generators]

I checked the info and find no mention of a curfew for genereators in the flea market.

The concern here in for CO poisoning while sleeping.

Is there a photo of the trophy?

[My Car Trailer needs replacement........]

Hi Folks,

What you are calling "anti-sway bars"  are what I call "load leveling bars"  A pair on a hitch set-up.

Here's a photo of an anti-sway unit that I use. Bought at Hbr Fright. Works well with our rig.

We have a tall 26'trailer and tow with a 2012 Ford 350 passenger van. Class IV hitch.
