Hopefully this is kosher to show here: Bavarian-made Goggomobil T-700. Showed up on Craigslist in Alaska of all places, last year: [IMG][img]...
-Of course! If it was a four-door, it'd be a chicken sedan! :D Doc.
Good info! That's the kind of thing I came here hoping for. -I had no idea. I'd have thought that baking soda would wash off easily with plain...
As long as there is an electrical connection from the bolt to the electrolyte. The connection is usually not the best, and you need to agitate...
-Good point, and yeah, I'm well aware that fiberglass can decay and delaminate. All I can do is hope that's not the case here- the car's been...
-Oh, good idea. Hadn't thought of that, but duh, makes perfect sense. I also have a stack of various Corvette magazines around here somewhere, I...
-This is one of my top options at the moment. Maybe not as good an overall result, but I'm in a tight budget and limited on space, equipment, and,...
-That's my main concern. I am NOT a body guy, and I figure it'd be way too easy to do more damage than good. But, that doesn't leave me many...
What d'ya think about getting it blasted, then? I'm trying to see if there's a soda or dry-ice blaster in the state. I wouldn't trust myself with...
I'm about to start working on a '63 Studebaker Avanti- pretty much the only other HAMB-legit fiberglass car besides the Corvette. :) While I'm a...
$10,900 in 1928 is roughly $145,500 today. My graduation present was a clock-radio. :D Doc.
Stilko replaceable-element oil filter. Complete and in good shape, needs new filter element. Asking $90 plus shipping, please email me directly...
-It's an awesome museum. I was just there myself a month or so ago, and I was very impressed. It's not just some warehouse filled with old cars-...
So that's the same one, based on the graffitti on the side, that went to Sweden? If so, I agree it had to be a scam of some kind. And, sadly...
... In Alaska, believe it or not. :D In late April, the attached ad appeared on Craigslist in Southcentral Alaska. It was posted at 3:40, but had...
Here's one from the Fountainhead Automotive Museum in Fairbanks, Alaska- a 1906 Compound. It's a three-cylinder engine, but only two fire. They...
Several years ago, I received my grandfather's copy of Machinery's Handbook after he'd passed away. He'd protected it with a cover, of sorts, made...
My latest two tons o' toy is this 16" Springfield gear-head 'toolroom' lathe: [img] Swings 16" at the brochure (18.5" actual) with a 10HP...
Geez, I knew I shouldn't have clamped the ground lead to your brake rotor... :D Doc.
-Way too bright. We're only a month past the solstice, and right now, "night" is about two hours of twilight. It'll be another month or so before...
-Again, glad I could be of help, and it was great meeting you too. Wish you could have stayed to chat a while longer, but then again, it'd...
Quick update: Bob & Maggie buzzed over from Whittier this afternoon (roughly 2-1/2 hour drive but some very nice weather for it) and they're now...
-Last time I was on the Ferry, I had to ask about that, since I'd never heard of any such law. (Thinking, of course, about the usual local...
-Willie, the pilot in that crash was a friend of mine, left behind three kids, the youngest is a year and a half. He was a genuinely nice guy, a...
Bob- I'm 90 minutes North of Homer, in Kenai. My place is messy and cluttered (and it's mostly off-topic cars) but I have full machine & fab...
-Technically it's not "perma" frost, but frost heaves. As in, when the ground freezes in the winter, thaws in the summer, freezes again, etc....
Anything's possible. This guy recreated, almost entirely from scratch, an entire 1919 Excelsior board-track racing motorcycle, starting with...
I made this back in high school for my big-block Olds. :D [img] Never ran it, since I didn't have the right tools to finish it back then....
'66 Olds Toronado. I still have it. Doc.
I suspect that's just for crimping the ends of stove pipe so sections will slip together, but that's just a guess. Cool lookin' old thing, if...
