  1. The car could be registered in NY in 15 minutes and forget about all the BS from the past. No paperwork is the least of the problems with this car.
  2. An oldie but a good one. Its my go to gun almost every time for finish work. But I have to add Ive used it over 40 years and understand it.
  3. Hey Joe, I hate to let the cat out of the bag ..... but there has been some quiet talk about what your audience is expecting for your 100th page posts!! So please prepare for the 100th episode!
  4. A few weeks ago I bought some 1930 Franklin parts from the family of a deceased member. Ive got some nice clean fenders and aprons.If anyone is interested drop me a note. Mike
  5. Im working on a early truck that is missing the steering box. The original unit had the sector shaft out the front of the box to pull the drag link left or right, NOT fore and aft. See the picture. Thanks Mike
  6. Joe, The fellow thats getting this oiler is a pretty lucky guy! 😁 I cant wait to see it all hooked up to the big Sterling race car!
  7. Did they come with storm curtains? My dad had one , very rusty one that we junked. I couldnt remember if they had curtains when new.
  8. Im curious how old this disc is. Pre 1910 ??
  9. I know what this is but curious of the year? Please advise. Thanks Mike
  10. Bill, My grandfather paid $50.00 for the car in 1939 . The inflation rate since 1939 is a tad under 4% a year. That would be $1091.23 in purchasing power today. Im sure thats more than a speculator would pay today. PS- Thanks for helping out with that twin six gas tank. Our friend has it cleaned up and on the car I believe. Mike
  11. Joe, I suspect that when the center discs were removed from the caps my machinist did not go in with the smallest tool. He most likely didnt think they would be reused. At any rate they look great and glad you could use them. You are doing a remarkable job on your car! These centers are from 1910 caps. Mike
  12. Jack The pump showed up oday and I could not be happier! Thank you Mike
  13. Ed, no hassle really...smile .if it was my car and I wanted wires, I'd have a set on there , at an affordable cost. No big deal. Mike
  14. Ed , do you really BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU SAY??? I know... Its hard to be humble when you are perfect in everyway.
  15. It sure is a lot of car for the money. For me, the interior is ok.. It looks done very nice. Fine a set of wire wheels and new black Denman tires and this car will POP! And sell a lot faster.
  16. Frank, Thanks for posting this pump. Glad its on its way to its new home in NY. Mike
