PatS....

You'll all notice that I took the high road and didn't mention woodies at all? ROTFLMAO

Looks and sounds like you're having a blast out in California, Don. No speeding tickets in that Dodge? Quite the solar array there as well.

Fred, I hear some building in BC may have a used roof available cheap for the new Winnipeg domed stadium.

It's worth double what it was before, though lol

HHHMMM lol

A second person helping you

My advice is that you need a helper and don't clamp the last cable to the post. Touch it to the post only while cranking and pull it off as soon as it's running.

L.A. drivers must have taken lessons here in Calgary. We get tons of snow every year but these fools still drive as if it was July!!??

This Zippo car is a clone. The original was "misplaced" in the '50's after the original ad campain was over and the car was retired. This one was built in the '90's from a low mileage original car. (for Zippo)

Will it be THIS slippery???? http://www.break.com/index/icy_roads_in_portland.html

My credit card is in my wallet, how could someone online try to access your credit card? I just don't understand what you mean.

Yes, Tony, please add your contribution to the book. That would be very interseting. Pat

I think he could easily do an eBook online somewhere. Jon is a veritable fountain of knowledge on the 50's era Chryslers.

Jon's not real pleased with what was left out. I don't have mine yet, but I have ordered it. http://forums.aaca.org/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=433770&an=0&page=0&gonew=1#UNREAD

Some BBQ briquets in an aluminum roast pan works well. Place under the oil pan. A couple of hunks of metal on each side of the tractor to block the wind.

Take the battery out and take it in the house...yes it's a pain in the a$$, but if the tractor is plugged in and the battery is nice and warm, chances are it will start. A second block heater won't hurt either Taking the battery out is less trouble than trying to get the thing started in the cold. Like Fred said, cover it up, keep it out of the wind, or leave it running. My dad used to go out an hour before bedtime and start his truck. He would leave it run an hour, shut it off and go to bed, and when the nightly nature call happened, he would go out and start it again, sit and have a smoke and a milk and go shut it off. It only sat maybe 3-4 hours at a time...not long enough to freeze up and not start. (Not making it to work wasn't an option with him)

I think that car was brand new when it went under the knife. This type and worse was very popular in the 50' and 60's. Some were well done, but most, like this one, were pretty gaudy. Some of the chopped and channelled Mercs were beautiful. I liked the R&C Chevy pick-up as well.

Seems like, according to the message board, there will be more than a few 1957 Plymouths in attendance. I'm real curious as to how the old girl fared down there. IF the vault stayed sealed, it should be OK with some work. IF it leaked water, it's gonna be a big ball o' rust. Kinda reminds me of Geraldo and Al Capones vault.

What's the equivalent amount by weight that a human would have to injest? If the test for me was to make a web, it'd look like the bottom one sober

That DeSoto is a beauty. Pretty classy way to see the city. Thanks for the pics.

Why not do a relay? One members house to another? Fred can drive it to Regina and I'll drive it here Everyone puts a sticker on from his town.

When I win the lottery, that will be my European transportation. I'll park it in the private hangar beside the Lear jet.

I have 6 nephews between 12 and 22. They and their friends all laugh at some of these attemps to convince them not to do this and to do that. WE think it works, but they think it's a joke. Is it effective anyway?

I found the screen on both my engines had crud stuck to it. The original engine was the worst being pretty well solid. It took some scrubbing with solvent and a small wire brush to get it clean. The "new" rebuilt industrial engine, while otherwise very clean, had almost as much crud plugging the screen. It too took some scrubbing to get clean.

I have had family members ask to store stuff in my garage. They slink away when I say I need to store my spare USED engine parts in their bedroom closet to make room in my garage to store their stuff. There is no Self-Storage sign on my garage.
