  1. Could be original miles on this little CJ3B I rescued a while back. I have it on the back burner waiting to get other jobs out of the way first. I watched it for years as an old barn fell on it and melted away around it.
  2. Yep. And if one survived longer it was designed to last for only around 30,000 miles. Warrantee? What Warrantee?
  3. This looks like around a 1915 or 1916 Buick. It was a touring car. I think maybe a C-25.
  4. Sweet. May it bring you many trouble free and happy miles. 🙂
  5. All the good stuff is always on the other side of the country. ðŸ˜ĩðŸĪŠðŸ™ƒ
  6. 20-25 RR. Yep. Been there. Aint never steam cleaned one though. Sounds like the guy holding the wand didn't know where to stick it. That ill make it ruff on the old girl. Where's Ed??? He auto be in this conversation.
  7. That's cuz you work on them there fancy high end cars Burnie. You sur nuf aint no tractor, or bulldozer mechanic. I understand where them fancy cars are concerned, we are a lowly crowd. I find when I do it the way you do it I need to use lacquer thinner just before painting it. Always amazed at how much dirt washes out in the solvent that way. Just when you think it is clean, It isn't. You can come and wash off the old Honey Wagon some time with your rags and diesel so we can get the broken floor chain back together without getting full of cow poo. 😉 Did I mention I don't use it on my 1915 Buick or other antique cars??? 😎
  8. The top photo looks a lot like the remains of the Stoddard Dayton I owned. After some research, and with the recollection of the old fellow that last drove it, it was a Knight engine powered automobile. Here's some info from a 1913 Book that I have in my collection of stuff.
  9. We won't go there! Nuf said. Dandy Dave!
  10. Every Tool has its place. I've used both, and do own an 11 HP cold water high pressure washer with a cat pump. It is capable of 3,000 PSI. With an adjustable valve on the handle to regulate the pressure. Great tool when I'm cleaning a nasty engine or other component when it is getting rebuilt or restored. Works great on Bulldozers and farm tractors and other equipment. Takes packed in dirt and mud away with ease. I've also used a steam cleaner in the past and it does better to melt away road dirt and grease. It is great when I need to get a component ready to sand blast as a sand blaster will not remove grease unless it it has dried up hard. Even then it does not blast off fast like rusty steel. Semi-soft grease the sand will just stick to. When I wash a component I keep my air hose handy to blow away and water left behind to prevent flash rusting. Also, even after doing a wash down if you are going to paint something you need to use a solvent to get the surface clean as there is a thin oily surface left behind. With all this said. I do not wash my 1915 Buick or other antique autos with it. I will wash a farm vehicle, like a pickup with it if it is really muddy or has something corrosive like fertilizer that needs to be washed away to prevent premature rusting from the chemical action.
  11. Point taken. The hood lovers even look right.
  12. I think the last car in the lineup is an early Thomas.
  13. Real short drive in the 1915 Buick yesterday. I drove it out of the shop to get the Buick Snow Master Super Shovel out and then put put it back in. It started right up and ran like it should after it's winter nap. I won't take it on the road until rain washes the salt away.
