Hey, Rat, those in the 705 area code ?
You could save some $$$ and do them yourself. Each window is a "rope-in" installation. With the glass laying face-down on a table or bench,...
I've been doing auto glass for 24 years and I prefer to use cardboard from the sleeves that tempered glass (door windows, backglasses, quarter...
Love that rear tire and wheel combo. Gonna keep them ?
ha-ha ... didn't I just bump into you a coupla minutes ago somewhere else, Toast ? Still love that truck.
The type that "crumbles" is called "tempered". Can't use that for a windshield. Laminated only.
I remember that !! I bought that issue when I was a kid. Made me really, really like '55 Chevs. Sorry, no idea where the car went. I'd be...
That was Christmas Day ? Man, you didn't happen to see three wise men and a virgin, did you ?
Been doing autoglass for 23 years. Never saw a wiper scratch that I've been able to buff successfully, so I don't try anymore. Some small, fine...
The Nash. And the brunette in the background.
I hear ya. Must be why I used to spend an hour on here every night. Now I spend 15 minutes a month here.
Love that colour combo
Goes to prove I was born I was born into the wrong family ....... I need to find a relative looking to give away a mid-sixties Econoline van. In...
I really need to move into that neighbourhood, especially during calendar-shoot week. Heck, I'd even be willing to ignore the body art.....
Yeah, I've been thinking about the whole "ice-box heating" and the way our stuff gets chewed up by the rust bug here, let alone the 401 on a...
Kinda looks like an Austin Bantam .
Man, I gotta steer off of 69 next time I head up home.....
Ratmotor...... how far off Highway 69 is this stuff ? Those chrome reverses look usable.
I agree with Dreddybear. To me I find them climbing in price. Barrett-Jackson has a lot to do with that.
I'd don't know that I'd want to work on something I once had if the new owner bastardized it with those fugly wheels and elastic band tires .........
I think I saw a feature on a Wildcat II on a show up here in Canada called ""Öld Autos TV"" but the car was blue. From what I gathered it would...
Guys/gals ..... still not giving up on my original idea yet (see my initial entry in this post). Been doing some thinking; what is the overall...
Wow ... let me know when you're looking for a full time auto glass installer .....
Trade.
This is what I had in mind, except as a van. Right colour, too. Nice, by the way.
Hey, Rat, isn't Roblin's closed ... or closing ? I know Minaker's is gone, but I thought Roblin's was, too.
I'd think you'd be better off shopping for that in Florida. You don't see stuff that old in good shape on this side of the border.
Appreciate the heads-up on the 'Vair's unreliability. Love the looks of them, though. As for the point about climate, that makes a ton of sense....
............Just out of curiousity, what do you mean by "flat front vans" ? Are you talking early 1960's Econolines and Dodge A-100's or old...
Stuart ... thanx for the input. I've given a lot of thought to the whole "going into business" idea but have only recently considered an old van...
