Beautiful aerials! Would love to visit SF. Almost did a few years ago, but the wife and I decided to spend the money on a big TV for the family... what a dumb decision.

Were you piloting/co-piloting that Mitchell??!! More pics, more pics, MORE PICS!!!!!!!

Coupla questions on this: "1961 Mercedes-Benz 220SE Ponton Cabriolet! Here is a, 1961 Mercedes-Benz 220SE Ponton Cabriolet, has been with the same elderly gentleman since 1965 and kept in dry storage since 1973..." Has this gentleman been elderly since 1965? Doubt he has many original parts either. Was the car in this condition when he bought it? What did HE see in it? P.O.'s sure can be rough on a car. Let's say his storage costs averaged $100/month for the last 37 years... he's spent twice the asking price on MAINTAINING the car in THIS condition. Is this guy a US Senator??!!

PM.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. (Sorry this is so late... tied up with a test for the last week.) What great advice. This belongs in a textbook... give the college kids some real knowledge. I will be taking full advantage of it. And thanks for the attorney information. My ex-wife and her lawyer can tell you I am terrible at picking lawyers.

HAHA! That's the guy I'm worried about.... unless he's really good at it.

Origin and cause, including autos. What type of auto engineer are you?

Big John & Neto, Thank you very much for the advice. Glad you were able to recover form the New York mess. I will be putting a lot of research into finding an accountant. Definitely a position you pay a lot for now or much more for later. And thanks to everyone for your advice. If anyone out there has more advice or resources for vetting accountant histories please feel free to post or send me a pm or email.

A forensic investigation company. The accountant is the one hire I am most nervous about. When lawyers can go to jail because of something their accountant does, you know you are dealing with a powerful position. If not names, does anyone have info on how to check accountant credentials?

Thanks, Tim. It's the business equivalent of breaking up with a girl on February 13th. As for headhunter fees? Let's see: I can offer a La Estrella Cubano and a screwdriver on the back deck. If the company takes off we can bump that up to a Man O' War Ruination and a Glenfiddich.

I have lost my job. Actually, I know where it is, they just can't afford for me to do it any longer. So I am starting my own business. Small, one-man job with a very limited budget to start, with plans to expand from there. I am looking for an accountant who can be with me from start-up through regional then national growth. Anyone have a contact that might fit the bill?

...but it works. Thanks again for the specifics. I ended up making a new grounding cup by modifying a part from a syringe kit that I use for collecting automobile fluid samples for chemical analysis. Not original specs, but the spring fits right in and the horns sound great. Lesson Learned: NEVER throw anything away... you might need it one day.

Thank you very much! I've been out in my shop, much of the contents of which I inherited from my grandfathers. Found this piece. Too small all the way around, but funny that I found it. I wonder if it served a similar function on a 1951 Citroen or 1968 Mustang, both of which my grandfather owned for years. I've found a large washer that will be going through a bit of metamorphosis today.

Does anyone have a photo or more info on the horn button cup - Part 8-33-29 for the 46-48 Plymouth? I'm surmizing it is a steel washer of 2 1/4" outside diameter and 5/8" id. The P.O., that funny guy, reassembled everything without it. I am about to pull the SS ground wire (with guide wire attached) and fashion a grounding cup. Just want to make sure I do it right the first time. Is it more advisable to pull the retainer and contact and go in through the top? Everything looks to be in really good shape and I always like to work at a simple bullet disconnect rather than anything clamped if I can. Plenty of things wrong on the car without my two left hands adding any complications. I know Dodgeb4ya and BobT-47P15 have had plenty of experience at this end of the circuit. Thank you in advance everyone.

Maybe it's a novelty jack, like fake dog pooh... only more tragic.
