I finally found it again! Howard Dennis http://www.mar-k.com/CustomForms/index.aspx

While searching the internet I found a place that would custom make pickup bed skid strips. The website had a form you downloaded and put all the measurements for length and hole placement. I can't seem to find it again. Does anyone know who does this? Howard Dennis

SOLD! SOLD! SOLD! Thanks for your interest. Howard Dennis

Still have this RARE gauge. Open to reasonable offers. Howard Dennis

[h=2]Maxwell Engine Confusion[/h] Hello Maxwell Forum, I have an engine identification quandary that I had previously posted in the Chrysler / Mopar forum but now believe that the engine is indeed a Maxwell thanks to 61polara, so I am hoping that the good folk in this forum will be able to assist me. The engine below was used in a stationary capacity to power equipment on a farm some years ago and was believed to be a Maxwell. The engine number is 441290. A forum member has suggested it to be a 1923 Maxwell due to the serial number sequence that year of 388530-444231, however I have been advised by another enthusiast that this sequence is for body numbers and engine numbers started with a 'C' prefix. The other confusing issue for me is that if this is a Maxwell engine, the cylinder head has a separate 'bolt on' housing for the top radiator hose outlet which is identical to the later Chrysler Four series 58,50 & 52 (1926 thu 28) and the Plymouth Q. Whereas a Maxwell cylinder head has the top hose outlet cast into head. Considering the Chrysler four succeeded the 'Good Maxwell' of 1925, would the later head design fit the earlier model Maxwell engine? The casting numbers on the exhaust manifold match a Maxwell and so do the appearance of the remainder of parts. Any thoughts, expert opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Attachment 297578 I brought this here from the Maxwell forum hoping someone could identify this Plymouth head. Howard Dennis

Martin, I think you'll have better luck posting this on the Plymouth section. In both 1929 and 1930 Plymouth made a model U and your head has a U casting number so maybe a Plymouth owner can pin it down. Howard Dennis

Here's two things I notice that don't seem right. With the front steering being buggy like it almost seems like a car created out of a buggy. That radiator is definitely from a much later car that had a hood. Howard Dennis

I must admit I'm a bit surprised at all the negativity about the asking price for what has to be an extremely rare chassis. If you needed just the block, transmission or differential for your car what would you be willing to pay? I just spent years and about 3 times this much to get enough parts to assemble a working rear axle for my 1917 Maxwell. It involved shipping parts all over the world and a lot of begging people to disassemble and ship parts to me and this was for a car 10 times more common than this Mitchell. Do any of you complainers have parts for my Maxwell your willing to sell for next to nothing? Howard Dennis

Don't know how accurate the description is but here's one on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1931-1932-1933-1934-1935-Oldsmobile-GM-Radio-Control-Head-Vintage-Dash-/201284554086?pt=Vintage_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2edd7e8d66&vxp=mtr Howard Dennis

Dennis, thanks for asking, most wouldn't. I'm just interested in seeing what must be some hard to find parts where they can do the most good. Howard Dennis

Dennis, here's the link, good luck : http://www.ebay.com/itm/301528525429?_trksid=p2060778.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Howard Dennis

This light is listed online with 2 carbide miners lights and it says they are all carbide but this one looks electric to me. Anyone know what it is or fits? Howard Dennis

This chassis has some real unusual features such as carb heater through head water passage, transmission placement, rear spring suspension, early use of thermostat. What is it fellows? Howard Dennis

Just bought this Atwater-Kent condenser for my 1917 Maxwell and it is a tad too wide as the contacts on mine are at exact right angles to the condenser and it is too thick to fit my housing. Does anyone have books to identify this one by sight or part number? Howard Dennis Above is what I bought Below is what I need

A Google image search of this photo turns up a discussion on ozrodders.com on December 2011. I signed up a few days ago but their moderators must be asleep. Maybe someone else will have better luck. Howard Dennis

Thanks fellows for the kind words. Steve you can't believe how much better my thumb feels after seeing your pictures! I bet we look like two sad dogs staring out the windows. Does your wife give you heck every time you try to go out to the garage? Mine does, threatens to throw my power tools away. Howard Dennis

Something some people may not be aware of is this was also a popular style of boat during this period having both dual and triple cowls. I don't know if the boats copied cars or the other way around but it was definitely a sign the purchaser had spent the extra bucks for the sports version. Howard Dennis

Paul, here's what the factory serial number tag on the right side front seat riser looks like. Howard Dennis

Sitting here wishing I could go out to the garage and get back to my Maxwell but will have to wait a few more weeks. Thought I would pass along my latest mistake in the hopes that I will cause someone to stop and rethink that decision to push yourself just a little longer instead of quitting and finishing up tomorrow. On January 5th I was working on my Maxwell and had lowered my seating position 4 inches and reassembled the wooden body and was pretty darn proud of myself as I am NOT a woodworker but not being able to find anyone had tackled it myself. After working all day I was tired but decided I would just make one floorboard before quitting. I don't know if it was fatigue, lost my balance or just plain stupidity but as I was running the board through the planer I took about 1/2 inch off the tip of my left thumb, down to the bone. Luckily I only ticked the bone and it should heal in time. Funny how I didn't have time to wait till tomorrow for this project but now I have WAY too much time! The pictures show my thumb 2 weeks after so I guess time really does heal all wounds. Remember tomorrow is another (SAFER) day. Howard Dennis

This picture is for sale on Etsy. Anybody have a clue what it could be used for? It seems to be old car parts, electric powered and possibly 2 passenger. Bombsight trainer maybe? Howard Dennis

I could be wrong but I believe this is an early Buick starter. Just found this: http://forums.aaca.org/f170/delco-starter-generator-what-does-fit-296391.html Howard Dennis
