What happened to the "Gold Tooth"   :?:    


Bob..

It comes and goes with the whim of the owner.  It just slips over any one of the grille teeth.  I also have a black one to make it look like there is a tooth missing.

Not only does the fresh red look great, but the car has an attitude setting on the grille so friends know what kind of day you two are having. I am jelly like donuts.

I drove down to Columbus Oh today and bought a 392 Hemi for an Australian buddy. Machine work done, $2000. When I got down there we got it loaded up, and one of the trailer tires was low. When I tried to put air in it, the valve stem broke off, and then it was flat. Fortunately he had a tire machine, and a new valve stem so we were able to fix it on the spot.

Thanks guys, That photo sure makes the old car look good. I got really lucky with the sunlight and my move in time for the show.  World of Wheels in Calgary takes place in the convention center just on the other side of the Saddledome in the picture. My move in was at 12, and this stop was 11:30, I couldn't have planned for the lighting to turn out better.

working on the T brakes today . Have my 90 degree master cyl bracket almost done . In order to make the movement go from back and forth to a sideways motion I have made a rocker assembly . The rocker is made of a 1/2 "x 3 1/2 " long shaft with 1" x 3/8" thick arms at either end , holes 2 1/2" c to c . One end will be welded to the shaft but the other end must be removable to service the shaft bushings . This is where my problem is . The 1/2" shaft requires a 1/8" keyway and I have already milled it as well as broaching the key slot in the rocker arm . I am just wondering if that 1/8" key will be sufficiently strong to drive the setup when braking . I am probably worrying about nothing but with a 6:1 pedal and say 100 lbs at the pedal in a panic stop I sure wouldn't want a failure when 600 ft/lbs of torque hits it . I could just weld it on , but then I could not remove the shaft if a bushing wears out .Opinions please ! I could look it up in an engineering manual  , but that might take a long time .

Well, today the Jeepster backed out of my garage under it's own power. It's a memorably occasion but it was done so I would be sure I could get it to higher ground. The Ohio river (two blocks away) was in flood stage two weeks ago and that didn't create anything but worry but with the rain that's been coming the initial prediction for the river put it higher than both 2004 and 2005 both of which put water in my garage (3' and 1'). The scare has lessened  but there's more days of rain coming so I'm working to be ready. I check this site as much as ever but I don't take time to comment. GPster

Went to look at a 59 Ford Retractable today. The seller has too many projects, is getting old and is needing a new shoulder put in next month. It ran 5 or 6 years ago, after he rebuilt the brakes. Looks to be in good condition, but it needs more than I want to put into it for $8k. It's all there, but all that's there needs everything done to it; chrome, interior, bumpers, paint, windshield, etc. I had to pass.

It got up to 70 degrees this afternoon. After work I installed a new battery in the dr650 and took 2 bikes for a spin. I fired up some of the other stuff cluttering the yard and I'm all ready for winter in the morning again. Every warm day is one less cold day.
