Another year already? 

Hey, Flip, sorry for your challenges. Your parts list should all be pretty easy to source though (with one possible exception), and so even though I don’t have any of the spares you need (or a Ford-based kit) I’m gonna jump in here anyway to make sure we’re clear.

Once again, Happy Tanksgiving everyone.

And new junk for the front end & etc. came today: the new sheet metal for under the frame head, two new sway bars and assorted bushings. I’m still waiting on the “beam stiffeners.”

Got the engine hoist squared away.

I decided I had to go to Home Despot to get my new Welding receptacle, and some long screws to make a bracket to hold the engine hoist on two pieces up against the wall of the garage. And a couple “ladder hooks.”

Good move!

My son owns an archetecture company and he just bought a 3D printer. I have seen some of their first 3D stuff and the logo could most certainly be done with a 3D printer. The way these things work is similar to how you would build up something with a hot glue gun. The “glue” comes out about he thickness of a thread in a spiders web, so the…[Read more]

I think I copied them. I don’t remember where I saw the TD-inside-octagon logo though, if anywhere.

Try this wiper arm. It’s adjustable for length and the blade end can be rotated.

I’m a fan. Met him at Lime Rock a couple months back and picked up the “200MPH Steamroller,” which I just started a couple weeks ago. Bought that one because I read the “Last Open Road” and “The Fabulous Trashwagon” and “Montezuma’s Ferrari” & couldn’t remember if I read or had “Toley’s Ghost.” I think I have it but haven’t read it yet.

I like that car a lot. But who the heck would race such a big, flimsy steering wheel?? 😉

The horn button on my Grant wheel on my Ford column is a two wire. It clips into the 2″ center hole of the steering wheel.

A horn button typically provides a ground for the horn. On a two terminal button, the ground is the second terminal. On a one terminal button, the button case itself is the second terminal since it is intended to be installed on a grounded metal horn ring or steering wheel.You can fiddle around with the hookup with no danger. If your horn is…[Read more]

That’s sad, Dick. You driving it much?

Yeah Montie. I always liked the bins-on-the-ceiling trick. My mail door is almost flush though. The back door might be a good candidate for this idea though.

Glad to be of service, Roy.

Ed, thanks. I showed your blog to Julie and she quieted right down. The “heat” is off. Thank you.Don’t you have enough “vices”? Most of us don’t shop for new ones.   🙂

Read the blog. I wish you better success than I had.
