  1. try this and click on the American Flag. http://alomautokiallitas.hu/
  2. Looks like wrong top bows and newer wheels too. It might be a case of "use what ya got".
  3. How do you get it to stay lit?
  4. Also notice how many head bolts are tapped for ground cables.
  5. Aye, 'tis a beautiful thing. A shame to hide it under a hood.
  6. We just got back after 2 1/2 weeks visiting my son and his family. Our daughter-in-law is the director of the International Law Enforcement Acadamy in Budapest. We attended a Christmas party at the house of the Charge D' Affairs, and toured the Parlament (sic), then a short riverboat tour of the Danube. No, it ain't blue. Trabants are still common, but not as much as old Ladas, and the occasional Moskvitch. Antique 2CV's are seen also. My own son has two Wartburgs, both licensed with diplomatic corps plates. Some of those new Skodas are very good looking. They are taking the place of many Mercedes as taxis. There is an awful lot to see in the city, we have been there three times now and have just scratched the surface. Do not expect great food though, you will be dissapointed. Traffic will stop your heart, driving is not for the inexperienced or timid.
  7. Here are some pictures of a '50 Plymouth in a museum in Hungary. It shows 54,xxx miles and I am quite sure it is original, although the paint is not. It has several aftermarket trim pieces along with what look like JC Whitney seat covers. The upholstery that shows looks original. Someone snuck some small airhorns and compressor below the heater box. A few weeks ago an employee posted a question on this forum about where to attach the choke wire. This nice young man gave us a personal tour and was a great guide for us. We are very happy to have met him. Hopefully he will visit us again. Hi there, Zsolt! The museum contains many Mopars of the largest size. The owner told me he has been to Hershey twice buying cars for display. It must be noted that all the cars are for rent or for sale. I have more pictures than I can post so here's just a few.
  8. 1940 Plymouth sedan delivery on Craigslist. http://chicago.craigslist.org/nwi/cto/1514230666.html All mopar.
  9. I used to know, but I forgot.
  10. One of my boys suggested pouring melted lead in the hole and retapping it. I just dont know if that will work. The hot lead would probably not stick to the cold lead and it likely wouldnt be deep enough to tap. I,ll give it more thought when I get home. Thanks for the help, its a fairly new battery and very big, I dont want to waste it.
  11. If I could steal this thread for just a moment, does anyone have a suggestion how to fix my stripped threads on my side terminal battery posts. This is a European keyboard and I cannot find the question mark, but that is my question. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated. I have tried inserting small piesces of copper shim material and even short pieces of wire strands, all to no avail. Thanks in an advance.
  12. Its right at freezing this morning here in Budapest with a very light snow falling but not sticking. Home Wednesday. Boy am I ready!
  13. Having kids around will teach you to think on your feet. Good job.
  14. Presently, Budapest, Hungary. I thought they had odd little cars down under, but you ought to see the stuff running around here!
  15. All of us. Dang good, too.
  16. Everyone, have a happy Thanksgiving Day. We are very blessed, friends family and food, too. As Greg said; Count your blessings, and if you find any extra spread them to your friends neighbors. You know, we all have extras, even if its a smile and a good wish. Let the eating begin!
  17. Congratulations! Now you've officially grown up. I wish you many happy years together.
  18. Miss Lube Job reminds me of that 55 Buick I had. She just isn't chromed in the right places.
  19. Sideboards.. hmmmmmm,,, CUP HOLDER !
  20. What do you wear on the other foot?
  21. Sometimes I try to use a creeper, but it just turns out to be more trouble than its worth.
  22. If you have to settle for a set that is too low, just build a platform to make them the right height.
  23. Thats just an ugly rumor started by the insurance companies. Wait. No. You shouldn't do that.
  24. $8172.00 today if you stick two fingers in a table saw.
  25. I usually try to start mine without putting the rotor back on. Several times.
