I would be nice if someone would reproduce them but probably not enough volume to make molds to be profitable,not too many of those going through frame off restorations too. I hope they will let you substitute modern tires which is your only option

Years ago I was present on the judging field and watched the judge give a 1903 automobile that had a reproduction transmission a perfect score for the engine/transmission compartment. How do I know the transmission was a repro? I helped restore the car. It was clearly evident that he judge was out of his element and should not have been in that class. DO AWAY WITH JUDGING AND ACCEPT THE VEHICLES FOR WHAT THEY ARE!
I could not agree any more about doing away with judging.

All my cars need the dust blown off of them and if its nice I will be driving my 55 sunliner and if not it will be my 65 custom 500,right now I am on the tail end of some virus that has made me sicker then I can remember so I hope I can get out.

The rings might be stuck and a little driving might be all it needs and pull the valve cover off and see if the return holes are plugged,if the oil had not been regularly changed since it was driven daily it could be a little sludged up.
-
I am going to get down there one of these days.
-
I never have the hood open but I never have my vehicles judged.
-
Going to attend the first chapter meeting next weekend and what car to get out,I have not done anything to them all winter and just as its getting warmer the flu decided to hit me hard.
-
I do not have any vehicles I can show but will be fun going to the events,all my vehicles are pieced togather with what I could find cheap like different year drivetrains or what ever the upholstery supplier had on sale cheap and so on so no spot for me on the show field.
-
I am also a member of the local chapter so I plan on getting out a bunch this year.
-
With the VCCA I can still visit the forum if I am not a member as I was prticipating on it for a few years before I became a member but will see how the money situatiion is and,maybe stay in both of the other clubs,I need to send in the dues for the CVA but have not had the extra money for the last month. Maybe its time to sell a couple cars.
-
Just got all the stuff in the mail the other day and now reading the two magazines that came with it,I decided to just get in one club instead of brand only clubs since I usually own more then one brand so its senseless to be in a club for each brand. I have been in the Crown Victoria Association for over 10 years and the VCCA for about 8 and will be hard to let them go but I just want to be in one club for all brands from now on.

Over 20 years ago I put a top and interior kit in a 23 roadster and since I worked in the basement I had to put the top down to get it out,the owner shown me how to start and drive it so I did sneak it around the block to say I drove one.

Looks like the same trans my 37 chevy p/u had.
-
When I was trying to sell a 65 country squire I had someone contact me with a similar deal trying to help me sell it but never did send them any pictures.
-
I thought I was the only one that had one of the little Pinto's. I actually have two of them.
Can you remember where they actually came from,I thought they were mail order but not sure.
-
My 50 Chrysler came had one when I got it and did find a good used one when it quit working but after the second one quit it got a regular gas cap.
-
It looks like the typical late 60s through 70s Saginaw 3 speed.
-
There is a couple things you can cheak easily,the voltage regulator can cause a drain so charge the battery up and disconnect it and see what happens and there is a capacitor looking radio noise suppressor hooked up to the voltage regulator that I ran into one going bad on a 74 torino and it would kill the battery in a few hours.
-
That Plymouth wagon was made by Dinky and probably from the late 50s,at the time I first seen them on ebay they were bringing good money but I stumbled on this one for around 10 dollars.
-
Here is a PInto that could come with a electric motor and I think it was a mail order from the back of a cereal box,its a ebay puchase and a duplicate of one I got back in the early 70s that I still have but is in very bad shape.
