    Took a ride today...

    I had been out and about in the Alpine earlier in the day, and stopped by a neighbor to 'recruit' him and his ride to drive in the upcoming Memorial Day parade that lines up right outside my front door. After that, went on about my business, including mowing the lawn. Left the Alpine on the...

    13" wheels

    I ran across these at a local establishment, not online anywhere. Wondering if they're 'the cat's meow' or just another wheel. Early Ford so bolt circle is supposed to be correct. Currently shod with way-too-old Pirelli tires in both 215/60R/13 and 235/60R/13.

    Liqui-Technik car tilters on CL Columbus area

    These don't show up too often on CL; also sold by Eastwood apparently, and likely direct with killer shipping. There are other versions out there, too, which are handy and purportedly safe for small cars. https://columbus.craigslist.org/pts/d/car-tilter/6498834602.html...

    Summit for Brakes, Water pump?

    In another thread, Summit was brought up as a source for various bits. I would be confident of oil filters, most ignition parts, and various electrical bits. But I noticed they had two brake caliper fitments (at reasonable prices, with exchange), and a water pump (with its new...

    Hardtop, rough

    I have a late-series hardtop shell to re-home. It is rusty in the usual places. It will need work. No major dents, though. BUT, there are no latches, trim, clips, plexi, stainless, headliner bows, or anything else on it. Just the shell. If you've been itching to try pickup-bed-liner vinyl...

    Photo Gallery Photos

    What are the size and quantity limits of photo gallery photos? I'm thinking it might be good for folks to post car show photos there, rather than in individual 'personal' posts. Individual quotas my make the photos go away after awhile, and photobucket accounts, etc., may be closed. If they...
