Frank and Matt...good thread and info. For what it is worth, the ratio is 3 pounds of iron = 1 pound of aluminum. (Green sand castings). Regards, Peter J. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Hi, Bob... Yepper, bud, go check the tractor. Good therapy! You amaze me with all your interests in trucks and tractors. Said it before and saying it again. To anyone reading this, do yourself a favor and check out Bob's site: My Indiana Truck page Regards, Peter J. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Hi, jaxops... You are quite welcome. Thought I would better explain where I am coming from and taking the liberty to speak for the AACA Headquarters and Forum Moderators. If I read you correctly, analyzing the results of moving posts to the appropriate "file, or, subject area", and how such moderating "affects the General Forum title block" would be laborious. My opinion is time constraints. Know I have no more personal time to contribute. Could you do it? As Bob and Wayne posted, it was somewhat confusing. Regards, Peter J. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

jaxops... If I interpret you correctly, the "Arrow" in the left column indicates a post was moved to the appropriate subject area as this website was designed. If you click on a thread that has an "arrow" within the left column, you will see a memo as to why and where it was moved. Reference your post: "Carburetor Advise 56 Pontiac". It was moved to the Tech Questions area for obvious reasons: It was a query for assistance to a technical matter. The General Discussion area is for general topics. We moderators are simply keeping the forum within the guidelines, of which, the AACA webmaster and Internet Committee set forth. As to your comment "...too organized". I fail to see what you mean. Since 11/3: I moved "22 posts" from the General Discussion area to the Tech Questions area. Also, left a memo (arrow icon) with my reason. Since 11/4: I moved "7 posts" from the Forum Questions (meant for forum navigational questions) to the Buy/Sell area and Tech Questions area. That's only November for an example. It is a constant every month, every year. Open for criticism to better this site. The Internet Committee has been working on improvements and continues to do so. The whole site is being scrutinized. Please be patient. I would venture to guess it will be a few months for changes, but, like you, I can only deal with what the current guidelines spell out. Please do not feel that your carburetor question will get buried. The majority of participants on this forum read many more subtitles than just the General Forum.

Judy...Welcome to the AACA Forum. You originally posted in the Forum Questions area, which, is reserved for any site navigating problems, or, questions, not for automotive value questions. Please take the time to scroll through the various subjects on the main page, plus, you could also check out the Studebaker site. Regards, Peter J. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

sdrocket...Welcome to the AACA Forum. A tip: Provide more detail as to your request. It will attract the attention of many knowledgeable participants on this forum. A short history of your car, your goals, photo attachment if available and, so on, would be appreciated by all. Example: Back up light source. You could post that separately in the Buy/Sell section. Again, "welcome". Regards, Peter J. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Way to go, Tommy...you did it again. What a talent! Sort of resembles a porpoise.

I second that, Howard. Way to go, Randy <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Regards, Peter J.

Hi, Jack...owe you big time. Posted the thread was moved and forgot to move it. I must be related to George Custer, Jack. He forgot to move from the arrows, too. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Regards, Peter J. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Welcome to the AACA Forum... Moved your post to the Tech Questions area. You could also post within the various marque clubs. (Scroll down on the main page.) Regards, Peter J. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Steve, I can appreciate your info on minimum economical runs coming from the metalworking industry myself. Certainly would be a lower price to order 500 mugs, vs, 250 plates/250 mugs. At this point, my vote is for what the majority requests, and, the most economical for our club. Let's see what this thread generates. Regards, Peter J. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Steve... I concur with Mike about offering a choice. Personally, I have 2 plates and would like to keep the awards within the same type. Regards, Peter J. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Randy...I am in for $100 + a Totes Umbrella in case of emergency. (Kim, I want the umbrella back, eventually, as it won't be needed.) Peter J. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Thought it important to all of us within the hobby to read Jolly Johns post within the "Buy/Sell" section entitled: "1955 Chrysler 2-Door Hardtop Parts Car for Sale". Thank you, John, for your concern to all of us by passing on your case scenario. Regards, Peter J. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Hi, John... Thank you for your initiative and concern for others with this "heads up". Regards, Peter J. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Wilfred...Welcome to the AACA Forum. Your referenced photo attachments are not here. To attach a photo, click on "Edit" above, scroll down to "I want to preview my post/attachment", click on the little left block to show a check mark. Go to the file you have the photos saved in, highlight them. Regards, Peter J. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Kevin... I believe your questions, at this point, should be directed to the show host region: Hershey Region. On the AACA Main Page, scroll down to Regions and Chapters On-Line. Their page has a query section concerning the Fall Meet. Personally, one space would not be enough, depending on the size of your wares to sell and motorhome unit. Regards, Peter J. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Jay...Welcome to the AACA Forum. As Howard and Sharon pointed out, the AACA Forum's mission is vehicles 25 years old and older. Please read the Mission Statement noted on the Main Page. Hopefully, you will stay with us on this site as there are some very knowledgeable people posting about many topics. (Scroll down the page and you will see all sorts of areas.) Will leave leave your post for a day and move it if you do not respond. Regards, Peter J. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Hi, Patt... Don't know what camera you are using, however, if a Digital, just make an atachment. If a 35-mm photo, scan, then, attach it. Hope this helps. Regards, Peter J. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Tom...Welcome to the AACA Forum. Many people are here to assist, however, you should post the photo to peak the interest of participants. Regards, Peter J. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Susan...Welcome to the AACA Forum. Moved your post to the Buy/Sell Section. If you had read the Forum Questions area closely, it is for any questions about navigating the forum, not, selling cars. I also must remind you that the AACA's purpose/mission is 25 year and older cars. Thank you, Peter J. Heizmann
