Don’t underestimate the importance of your tires. Yes there’s a bit of a scam going on and everyone is trying to avoid liability. But I think tires are vastly different today from the good old days. If I found an old A body on original tires I think driving it home might be ok; but on ten year...

Nice! V8 four speed. Sweet.

My ‘66 Valiant came with 14” with the faux spinner.

I saw this car briefly on Woodward last night at 13 mile. I hope to see it again the next few days on the Dream Cruise

This was not in the show but in the parking lot. It was gone when I went back to my Jeep.

This car looks fantastic. We all notice details that are not original which just don’t matter with our early “A”s. But I just wonder how much of his investment he or his estate will ever get back - probably a small fraction. So this is a work of passion for him and he has a unique car that is...

I thought this was pretty cool…

That’s fantastic! The trim clips for these early As can be a challenge

Here’s a video of a friends rather impressive collection of models, slot cars & tetherline airplanes. He is selling it and will sell individual items. But his prices may be a bit of a shock…

Thanks. I saw the Harbor Freight stuff, it seems great and woulda been more affordable.

Ace Hardware has a sale on this Milwaukee “Packout” modular tool box stuff, the more you spend the bigger the discount percentage is. You get $200 off when you spend $499 or more. I’ve always wanted something like this that was portable. So I finally figured out exactly what I wanted & it’s a...

This is a submarine. As soon s someone gets something like this they are so far underwater financially. Most likely it is not a D-Dart but it might be, but even if it is there’s a lot of work involved in getting this car road worthy. I don’t want to discourage anyone but anyone would be better...

Any disc brakes will require 14” wheels (& tires of course).
