Bill, Each of those should be one deduction. A total of seven deductions are allowed for the HPOF certification.

Several years ago I donated a very clean 1981 Buick Skylark four door to Goodwill and later received my $200 donation letter from them. About 6 months later, I received a certified letter from a towing company about 90 miles away for payment of a $500 storage bill. I call and told them to contact Goodwill as I signed the title over to them. A few days later, the towing company called back saying Goodwill said they didn't have anything to do with it because they sent the car to auction and the title is still in my name so I owe the towing and storage bill. My calls to Goodwill were about as productive as dealing with the DMV, not their problem. So another call to the towing company, where the owner suggested that since the title was still in my name, to file for a duplicate title and transfer it to him and he would call it even. I did. The cost of the duplicate title and notary fee was about the same as the tax value I received for the deduction. I will scrap a car before I donate one to Goodwill again.

Post this in the Maxwell forum below and I think you will get an answer. This is basically a wet clutch as it runs in an oil bath.

Another thing you should consider. Have you driven your Chrysler in the mountains like the ones you want to trailer around. How did it drive and were you comfortable with it? If so, you should be comfortable with a trailer. Your brakes on the Chrysler should be in excellent shape including he emergency brake. The comments above about brakes on the trailer are good ones.

You shouldn't have a problem. The transmission is up to it as it is really a four speed syncro transmission with hydraulic controlled shifts and a fluid coupling. You also should have a 3.73 rear end. Expect to have to start in Low range and manually shift to High. Also note that the transmission freewheels in the lowest gear of each range, so you have no engine braking in first or third gear. The owners manual explains how to force a shift from the lower gear to the higher gear if engine braking is needed at a speed below the governed speed for an upshift by depressing the clutch momentarily.

There was a problem with the online Judges Registration. It is now back up and you can register to judge in Charlotte Dave Bowman Chief Judge AACA Southeastern Nationals

In AACA National judging, the function of accessories and lights is not tested, but the vehicle must drive onto the show field under it's own power. Ted is correct on the spotlight. You should find factory documentation that it is a factory accessory. These spotlights were very popular aftermarket items and many were installed new by dealers, but for judging, you will need to document it as a factory accessory, not an aftermarket item.

Brian, Some changes came up late last week concerning the Charlotte National. I reviewed the updated flyer late last week and assume the updated information and registration will be up later this week. Dave Bowman Chief Judge AACA Southeastern National, Charlotte

Crisjr14 The 3 jaw puller you show above will only warp the drum and never remove it. You have to use the puller that Keith shows in his video that attaches to 3 studs. Now that you have driven the studs in you don't have anything to attach the puller to. Now that you have the hub seperated from the drum you will need a much larger gear puller attached behind the hub with a hammer pad on the end. Not a cheap tool. You will need to still follow the steps in Keith's video with that tool. You need to be hitting the cross bar with a small sledge hammer to get it loose. Tighten it, hit it and wait an hour or so. Come back and hit it again a few times and wait. Keep this up until it pops off. The puller you have doesn't have the strength to pull this hub.

It's a 46-48 Chrysler steering wheel

If you have removed the studs what are you attaching the puller to? The correct puller attaches to the studs.

You were very lucky. North Carolina is a very tough state to correct title problems in. Through the 1940's and possibly early 1950's NC titled cars by the motor number. If the motor was changed, the title had to be reissued using the replacement motor number. Sometimes the serial number was listed as "original motor number / replacement motor number". Your car most likely has a replacement engine ("RExxxx") which NC had a procedure to deal with. Your other option would have been to file for a bonded title.

I just talked to Pati Fairchild the new owner of Emblemagic. The email contact on the website goes to her now as well as the phone number on the website. The mailing address is now 1961 Obispo Ave., Signal Hill, CA 90755. The phone number is still (440) 209-0792 .

Emblemagic Classic Car Emblems and Badges has been for sale for quite a few years. In December it was purchased by Pati Monroe Fairchild in California. Pati is a very talented individual and has be reproducing quality MoPar emblems for a few years. I think she will do a great job keeping Emblemagic going. She just moved all the molds and equipment to her shop. She is in the process of updating the website to include her information.

Try posting in the Buick Forum below. That a very good and active group.

WD-40 does a good job as well.

From the late 70s that I saw at a stoplight. NOTHING COULD BE FINER THAN TO WAKE UP WITH A SHRINER

While in college, I went to visit a friend one summer weekend. 1970 Challenger convertible (318), I took the back roads for the two hour trip. In a small town, I stopped to check my map for the next part of the route. While studying the map, a man came up to the car and asked if I knew the way to Glory. I replied, no but I'll help you find it. Shocked, he said "No, I mean have you been saved!"

My Dad taught me when I was a teen to spend the money on the right tool to do the job because the next time you need to do that job it will be free.

I'd like to know more about if this is a new build or a restoration of a 1949 custom built. Details are nice overall.

A 1952 Buick should not have a starter button or switch. It's on the carburetor. Someone has modified your car, so no telling what is going on.

Here's the answer, this is a early production '37 Buick steering wheel.

Everyone who didn't make it to Gettysburg missed a great show and wonderful weather.

I believe all Buick bodies were build in Flint and assembled in different assembly plants. The "X" at the end of the Style No. indicates power windows.
