okay..enough of that..they are all marked number 1

Oh yeah..got the picture...concentric hub...they can be a bear to remove..just be careful not to flare the hub...time to Whack it...

Isn't that car a front wheel drive..and if so just remove the dust cover like a normal car and pop out the bearing and pull off..if the shoes are locking it on due to a worn groove on inner lip..back off the shoe adjuster..make sure emergency brake is off also...

Pat..a lot has changed over the years..the truckers was at one time the most courteous and safety minded driver out there..now you have a bunch of young hot heads behind the wheel of that 80,000 lb missle on the slab of concrete with the attitude that his job is the only reason you have a 4 wheeler to drive. I still however cut them the most repect but when I see one of these types driving in a built up area on the interstate..restricted to the two right lanes, weaving and bobbing in and out of traffic and in the third lane trying to make 80 MPH in a congested area..that man NEEDS a ticket..no less than reckless endangerment..and on the other coin you have 4 wheelers doing the same..equally deserving of a ticket..I just often wonder if some of those truckers actually consider how they may be able to slow down much less come to a stop when fully loaded..I know when I am towing that the braking is greatly diminished...the most courteous bunch I have found bar none when towing an old car is Atlanta traffic..sure beats Chicago..Charlotte to name just a couple.

Unique cars..suggest unique up on them and get some close ups..must be nice to live where there are hardwood trees..pine forrest of the south leaves a lot to be desired..come spring..you hate them more for the pollen..even if you are not allergic to pollen..it gets on everything...

that may be his whole point..nothing there..as it does not exist anymore..I tried all links also...

Another SAAB story..I would never do this but heard about the guy who had the old large bayonet flash bulbs loaded into his backup light sockets on a manual switch..like a visit from the aliens I would guess... Don't look straight into the light bubba...that's when they get ya..!!! Coming to work just this morning..I have four intersections to watch close..people always run the stop signs here..have for the past 12 years I have been here..I think if they were to police these areas on the first day they could pay for a few new squad cars. And of course..I have my margin of safety and some butt-wipe is on my rear tailgaiting as I drove in this morning. It rural road..I usually am a nickel over..these guys run about 20 plus over for the most part. Double lines mean nothing to them and curves don't intimidate them for the most part either. Just got to be careful..try to keep an out available..

Many a time I have passed the guy minutes up the road paying tribute to the men in blue...I love it..I am on the road a lot with pulling cars..I leave more than my share of saftey room and find I have to back off even after that as it is an invitation for an idiot to jump in only to immediately make a right turn...here in the south and it may be this way in other rural farm land areas..but seem they pull out in front of you and immediately turn left..mostly without a turn signal..meaning you must make out their intentions before you could even take the left lane and go around them..

Oh guys....Don has assurred me with a private message not long back that he is mending his way and will only post pictures of landscape, historical places, inanimate objects relative only to the subject at hand...his camera has a wide angle lens..not his fault if something get in the picture.. Don..this testimonial cost 5.00 paypal me...lol

red headed woodpecker would have been more in line...but hell I never have understood art...

years ago they cracked down on my favorite BBQ place..used to have the bread on the table, by the loaf...now you have to get it out of a plastic box...still the BBQ buffet ever and no I have but tried about 20 odd places..not many by some peoples standards..but hey when you find something good..why go shopping for more...

Take a section of your old rubber and cut a cross section..match that up with Resotration Specialites catalog..they are online so will be easy..buy enough to go around your opening and install..put cut at bottom and seal.

Overhaul...definition..slightly OT..largely political..but extremely funny...... Hillary Clinton goes to a primary school in New York to talk about the world. After her talk she offers a question time. One little boy puts up his hand. The Senator asks him what his name is. "Kenneth." "And what is your question, Kenneth?" "I have three questions: First - whatever happened to the medical health care plan you were paid to overhaul during your husband's eight years in the office as President? Second - why would you run for President after your husband shamed the office? Third - whatever happened to all those things you took when you left the White House?" Just then the bell rings for recess. Hillary Clinton informs the kids that they will continue after recess. When they resume, Hillary says, "Okay, where were we? Oh, that's right, question time. Who has a question?" A different little boy puts his hand up. Hillary points him out and asks him what his name is. "Larry." "And what is your question, Larry?" "I have five questions: First - whatever happened to the medical health care plan you were paid to overhaul during your husband's eight years in the office as President? Second - why would you run for President after your husband shamed the office? Third - whatever happened to all those things you took when you left the White House? Fourth - why did the recess bell go off 20 minutes early? Fifth - Where's Kenneth?"

shade tree term Don..I could explain it but would have to make a pitcher of ice tea first...

you must be running hard water in that system..use some water softner...lol that is a unique situation you have there...

The dreaded DOUBLE DOG dare..man its do or die now..can't lose face....in all truthfulness. the guys are right..an engine rebuild is just keeping to specs, torque values and cleanliness..don't let terms like balance and blueprint scare you. Most piston sets are sold in set that have taken balance into consideration..a crank from the factory turned all journals equal will remain balanced..rod will be within specs if original to also keep the factory balance on your engine..blueprint is nothing more than ensuring all specification are within spec..nothing more..pre assembly lube is your key to successful long life engine on initial stat up..have it prepped to start immediately..make that first run for about 30 mintues to break in the cam and lifters at a very high idle..say on these puppies about 2000 RPM..if you have access to molybedinumdisufide..(sp) by all means use it on the lifter lobes and bottom lifter surface...if you can find just the powder..mix with 30 weight oil and mix to a good paste form.

Darin..looks very nice..it is going to look good..not to put you on the spot..but..are you keeping a running tab on this car..you have farmed a lot of work out..in my area this would run an arm and a leg plus maybe parts of your first born.

Is a very sad day for us all..my best to the family during this tragic event.. Tim

be sure your count is only 2 thumbs out of 10 digits.

Just call me Adolf..where's Eva...?? Funny, the wife says I have a pastel nature...

With all due respect..terms are being used too loosely in the hobby..restoration is a word that I hate because a pop riveted piece of floor pan and coat of paint does not restore a car..would be even less than the word refreshen...sorry..not trying to step on toes..the TURN KEY """does""" mean just that..a car that is finished and only needs an owner..start and run on the other hand describes a car that will do just that, start and run...TURN KEY is a finished product, being a rebuilt car, kit car or custom of some kind...all work is finished..would not/does not mean the car is restored. And by the way, the 12 volt and crossflow has taken you to "upgraded" classification.

I bought mine needing paint job but otherwise solid, zero outer body rust through...Savoy, factory rainshields, 230, automatic, low mileage survivor that purrs real good, it was toatally driveable but I did do a tune up..two weeks later had to do brakes as I blew out a cylinder..rebuilt the cylinders only..shoes were as new. It is a 54 Coupe..everything works and has bullseye headlights. Glazing is perfect...trunk mat is good and original..spare, jack and all in place ...1500.00 Being a low mileage car that has never been dinked with plus an automatic so even the wife can drive it..figured you could not go wrong.
