Hot Rods Bass Ackwards

Yeah,the Deuce sedan door handles are classy. HRP

 

Well anyways, back to are regular scheduled stuff!

 

I am beginning to think SOME rodders spent way too much time thinking about this crap!

 

You say that like it's a bad thing! HRP

 

Clocked tire valve stems and tire logos is a universal thing not limited to '32 Fords. Bob

 

That would drive a sane man mad. HRP

 

No HRP, just an observation. No judgement here!

 

If you mount the Model A handle looking down you won't be able to lock it.

I know it drives me nuts, it only takes a few seconds to turn the tire and align it with the stem. Bob

 

What the hell does Jim know? He is older than me.

 

Is that a '58 Highlander Cushman gas tank?

 

For all intensive purposes though, it's a mute point, don't take it for granite.

 

Irregardless isn't a word.

 

Years ago, I had the pleasure of working with a gentleman, from a Porsche dealership. Will never forget him telling me, the Porsche hubcap point, had to line up with the locking lug nut, which in turn, had to correspond to the valve stem. Their way of knowing if some flunky worked on the car, before them. I think it’s kind of cool
But I’m a bit OCD

the hump goes to the back, or the dog is wrong

 

There are two ways, my way or the highway.

 

Oh contraire mon ami, irregardless IS a word,however. It is still used primarily in speech, although it can be found from time to time in edited commentary.

It's popularity as a conmanly used word has not risen to the top over the years, and it is still a long way from general acceptance. most people rely on the regardless instead. HRP

 

Barry,to my knowledge Henry Ford didn't offer the greyhound hood ornament until 1934 and it was made by Stant in Indiana and was sold as a accessory ,the 32 greyhound ornaments where first seen in the 60's and are aftermarket pieces using a 34 greyhound & 32 radiator cap. HRP

 

As to "clocking" tires; What happened to the practice of offsetting the heavy spot on the wheel with the heavy spot on the tire? I always do it.

(EDIT : This reminds me of Hnstray's signature line. "In any conflict between Physics and Style, Physics always wins".

 

The windshield wiper park position is another . To me it belongs towards the center , others have them parked towards the left

 

Well, maybe Henry meant for the Greyhound to be running away from, not running to. Turn it around and see how you like it...

 

No it's a model A roadster hot rod!

 

An ignition key that's right side up won't fit an ignition switch that's upside down. But a key that's wrong side up will. This can be confusing if the door & trunk locks are right side up. That's why I always use all keys and mount all locks right side up to avoid confusion and breaking keys off inside locks. Jack E/NJ

 

i keep reading this over and over and have no idea what you are talking about.........

 

Yes. I'm confused what I wrote too. So I found this picture of a key that's right side up and upside down. Now I'm not so confused anymore. Jack E/NJ

 

I'm still confused...

 

And don't even t me started on the morons that use "then" and "than" interchangeably!

My car is faster than yours. Mine came in first, then yours came in.

And the guys that tell you spelling doesn't matter...Yes, it does. It's called literacy, try it!

 

mute or moot?

 

I just rered that, no need for a correction. Bob
