I'm a member of the age group with a birth date within the range,1928-1945,and I have to admit my people skills have been questioned on occasion...

Great introduction to the forum...What's it worth?😉

Never used "Right Stuff", however I agree with you ,having encountered gasket sealers improperly applied to excess and in some cases even used to replace a proper gasket..It can be time consuming to properly clean up the mess.🙂

Thank you both,Dodgeb4ya and HotRodTractor for posting info on both the Daytona valve and Grose jet. I have never used either one and learned something new today...🙂

Speaking of vinegar - In my younger days I was full of, "piss and vinegar", now not so much as the years are catching up with me.😉

Amen.

Very sorry to hear of the theft of your stuff, knuckleharley... I don't have a Doberman, but I am also the owner of an Ithaca 37. .....I should have added, I do have a small dog and although he is not a Doberman, he doesn't know that, he is extremely alert and an excellent watchdog. If there is any slight noise or anything out of place he is quite vocal (loud)...

Thanks for posting the video,enjoyed watching - although I'm not sure I would trust Jay Leno driving one of my old vehicles...appears he missed a stop sign around 27.55 in the video.😊

Good advice. 🙂

Maybe got distracted...

Nice to see your progress. Thanks for the update and photos. 🙂

While not an actual photo of the event...Had a cousin here on the prairies in Canada that had the reputation of being a successful farmer, some claimed due to having acquired the sections of farmland he farmed from profits dealing in illegal alcohol... I can't confirm this and certainly won't judge, but he had a large family to support as well. 😉..Every family has one.☺️

I am lucky as well, my wife still willingly helps me whatever the occasion and I could use that extra pair of hands...🙂

Almost 30 years has passed since seeing a few of these old tail draggers in the proper locale on a cruise . I kinda enjoyed the show ... rather cool!😉

A matter of taste..Fender skirts look good on some cars ,not so on others - same goes for sun visors and wire wheels. Years ago I was in Reno during Hot August Nights.Downtown one evening the nightly cruise was in progress,it was okay but after a while it got rather boring with the seemingly endless parade of tri five chevys and the like. As it was getting dark,a dozen or more late 30's - early 50's tail dragger coupes showed up,maybe from the same car club. Most had fender skirts,some had sun visors,some with swamp coolers. Occasionally as if on cue,they would slow do
