Sounds as though the car is staying where it belongs Darel.
I hope you have many more enjoyable trips with it.

Rob,

I’m out of town til late Sunday but can check for you when I get home.

Ok John,
Those pictures are great.
Let’s map out a tour thru the woods.
Any “over the river” places to go with “thru the woods”?

Similar mounting to the one I have. I have a complete original on the drivers side and when poking around for info on it, I stumbled on a convex (objects appear closer than they are) mirror head that matched. So I fabricated a mount that resembles the original. Mirrorscope out of New York was the or...

While cleaning out my father’s estate, I realized the sheer number of photos that he had, a lifetimes worth. Some had notations on the back, most didn’t though. I found it troubling to toss some of them, but I had no idea who the people were in them. I sure he did though. Photos are good for 2-3 gen...

I have had a 6V on mine for about 2 years. It has been trouble free. I had a rebuilt generator on it and then the cut-out failed. This was the quickest fix for me. Chaffins had it in stock and shipped to me in just a few days.

Mark,
I would like to buy the spindles

Scott

I have one that I decided not to use
If interested, call or text me

Not a great pic, but I found this in a salvage yard 5 yrs ago

Well, now I want that wrecker!

I wish we still had the desire to build these unique vehicles

Dino,
I would like to buy this

Send more money to cover my mistake…. Scammers have no shame. It is a common tactic I have found that they somehow mixed up the check (sent too much and want the difference refunded) or as in John’s case, sent it to the wrong address and want funds to cover their mistake. I had one threaten me with ...

Unfortunately, I think we can state the year we joined the board.

I feel your pain.

I propose that sellers consider allowing to be paid for goods and services by adding in the additional fee.
That would give buyers a layer of protection against the scammers.

Scott

If you read the posters info, it sometimes provides a location.
Keith is locates a bit west of St. Louis, MO.
Manchester, Mo to be exact.

It’s been a long time since we decorated, so I decided to have a bit of fun this year
The kids enjoyed it and the parents couldn’t believe that it runs and drives.

The information about Mr Armstrong was available, I should have be a bit more diligent in looking at his account. I will, going forward be inclined to pay via PayPal using goods and services and adding the fee to the total, that way I a better chance and recovering my funds when someone is up to no ...

Edit the photo
Trimming it by a little goes a long way to reducing its file size

#15 reminded me of something I saw a couple of years ago at OCF. I dug up the pic, not the same, but similar, and it is on a 4WD vehicle.

I was traveling with a 7 hour time difference and responded to a private message. The price was fair for what I was looking for and i pulled the trigger without much thought, other than “ whew, I finally found what i was looking for”. Ive been active here for about 4 years and have met many fine peo...

Yeah, i should have been more diligent about checking into him. Got me for $125 but I did friends and family, so I’m out of luck

So, I wish I had seen this.
The scammer Richard Armstrong strikes again.
He got me for a bit over $100.

Can the powers that be ban this stain on our board please

Four of us in the St. Louis chapter pooled our funds to buy a pan jig and a rear axle stand (thank you to Lang’s). It was time that they started earning their keep and since all of us have parts and projects stashed in our to-do lists, we have started club days to work on such projects. The first wa...

When I was searching, I found stainless hardware from lowbrowcustoms.com
They are a motorcycle shop. Since my car is a driver, I’m not worried about originality.

Andy,
A couple of wives were there, mine had plans but met us at the restaurant

Thanks for a great tour Scott. (That's you in the far right)

John,
I like your photo better than the one I posted

The St. Louis club had its fall tour Saturday. We had a 70+ mile loop on some local 2-lane black top roads, no seven gallon hills this time. ( I learned my lesson about that a couple of years ago). Started off fairly foggy and cool but as the mist burned off it became a glorious day. Stopped at a lo...

Andy, If you are ever East, we can make a tour happen anytime. Anything more than one car is a parade, if we go somewhere it is a tour! BTW, it only 3 days of hard driving towing a trailer to get here, I took my car to San Diego last year. It was great fun, but too much windshield time to get there.

John, I have one that is available. I added the tan canvas as a quick way to add some shade when I had my granddaughter out on a summer trip. It is just tacked on. I have a 25 roadster that i had it on for a few months until I found the correct one for my car. A friend found this at Hershey for me t...

An open invitation for anyone to join us this Saturday for the St. Louis’s club fall tour. Give or take 70 miles thru St. Charles, Warrenton, and Lincoln counties. If anyone has any interest let me know so I can add you to the lunch reservation at Fiesta on the Hill Mexican restaurant in Flint Hill,...

So, It does come out of its home occasionally!
Bring it out this weekend for the St Louis fall tour 70 miles give or take

Scott

I sent a message
We are back home and would like to arrange payment

Scott

I cannot imagine how hard it must have been to pass the guardianship of this car into someone else’s care. I have cars I have owned for 1/2 that time I do not look forward to the point in my life that I have to trust someone else to become the caretaker of them. Stewardship is an idea that carries a...

Henry,
Your knowledge, and willingness to share is what makes this forum great.
I do not possess your skill level, but I’m not afraid of trying to fabricate parts that I can, when needed.
I will file away the info on tank building for future use

Scott

Thank you,
If you accept PayPal, I can complete the purchase now

Scott

Did you get my email?

Scott

Jeff,
Ill take it.

If PayPal is an option, I can pay now.
If you prefer a check, I am on vacation and cannot send one til after 10/5

Scott

Text if you like

Or email @ Scott.francis(at)att.net

Thank you,
I assumed it was a specialty tool.
I should have done some research

Scott

Sent you an email
Thank you,

Scott

Jerry,
Can I ask where you found that reamer?

Scott

I replied to the other ad. Is this the same horn?
If so, I would like to purchase it. If this is a second one, I’ll buy it as well for my daughter’s car.

Scott

I’d like to purchase the horn, if available

I’m out of town and won’t be back until 10/5.
Can do PayPal if that works

Scott

I finally got the chance to install the wood bed kit my wife got me for Christmas , added disk wheel covers (thanks to Herb Iffrig),mad the support arm for my passenger side mirror, and went on the Hillbilly tour.

How much beer money would be fair?
636-544-775zero

How long would you hold them,
I’m near St. Louis, and would need to arrange a time to get them

It is great to see them together in the light.
Having them at the monthly meeting has been a treat as well, But daylight shows them in all their glory.
By the way, both of them sound fantastic as you drive away.

Did ACME make hitches? I know there was an ACME machine tool company
They made everything from anvils to roadrunner traps.

That made me spit out my drink!!!

I recently acquired this one. Is this a repo? The dipstick portion is flat

Thanks Steven,
I had a great time and met lots of new friends.
I hope anyone feels free to add any pics they want to share

A few more from today
Decided to convert to b&w for the last ones today
Just over 340 miles and just over 12.5 hours driving time over 4 days.
This was my first Hillbilly tour and I had a great time meeting new friends and catching up with some old ones. I’m looking forward to next year.

Scott

Sometimes a wrong turn is the correct thing to do

A couple more from today

We went to Waynseville, MO passing thru several small towns, and great scenery. Our first stop was at Devil’s elbow on the Big Piney river while driving ove some Route 66 pavement. A well maintained thru truss bridge made for some nifty photos. Then of to the tourist hot spot known as Uranus, for a ...

It was a fine day here in mid MO. A bit over 130 miles and 4.5 hrs of driving time thru the rolling hills of the Ozarks.
I heard that there were no problems and everyone made it back without much trouble.

First stop today in Licking, MO

How do they not suck water in on the 6th pic?
Looks like an easy way to hydraulic the motor to me

A nice day for driving the local area here in Rolla today. I had to make a quick trip east on Hwy 44 to pick up some chrome plating I had done and spent about 2.5 hrs and 60 miles doing so. I got back in time to meet up at the local Lions park for pictures, and a great meal that the Chamber of Comme...

Thanks Herb!!
I’ve had many comments on them.
Everyone likes them.
You should have kept them

First stop at. The Frisco 1501 display

Oh, yeah!!
Haha

I fixed the header

Off to the Hillbilly tour in Rolla, MO

Looking forward to meeting old friends and meeting new ones

Scott

Allen,
They arrived today, thank you.
We beat the tariff

I would be interested

Scott

Tom,

Payment set via PayPal

Thanks

Allen, I responded with a quick question about shipping

If Tim is not interested in the larger ones,
I am

There are fillers that are specifically designed to apply over primers. Make sure that you do your research first to avoid failure.

That must have been one terrible impact. In 40 plus years in autobody repair, I have never seen a cab removed from the frame.
Cars split int two, yes, but that this something I’ve never seen before

I have a Riverside that I just took off my car, I will check if to make sure it is what you are looking for when I get to my shop later today.
If it is what you want, you can have it for the cost of shipping. I’m in the St. Louis, area

I missed the sale earlier of the pump and gauge that recently sold.
I have a nice pump, but I’m looking for a gauge similar to the one that sold.
If anyone has an extra, I would be interested

In Saint Louis, we have $20/ year if you are a national member and $35/year if not.

I’ll add mine to the parade in St.Louis!

Scott

In the St Louis Post Dispatch today in an article about the USPS turning 250 years old

I have one that I have used for 40+ years, it is a great tool to have in your toolbox.

I sent one earlier today

Mine is:

Great pics, John

Sorry I wasn’t able to attend

Scott

St. Louis changed their parade to sometime in the fall, so we headed to the St. Charles, Mo parade. It seemed to have considerably more attendees than the past several downtown STL parades. Four cars attended and a good time was had despite the temps and lack of shade

Ill take it if available

Hijack away,
I too am interested in pics of pedal placement before I mount mine

As the pround new owner of an exhaust whistle, I’m curious as to where the pedal mounts. I would think that there are a couple of different possibilities, but I’m wondering if anyone can share their experiences. I’d rather not mount it, only to find out that there is a better option after I drill ho...

It appears they made both styles
I agree, something is better than nothing. I have a homemade one on my car now, but I want an original style one.

I was able to obtain a Trusko support bracket thinking it would help support the added weight of a Warford transmission. While poling around I found an old post showing that Trusko also made a Warford support bracket. My question is, should one shown help, since it supports the drivetrain ant the 4t...

Are these the new ones, or originals?

That is a great idea
It looks great !

Frank, I will be there in spirit, but not in person. I was asked to help source some the parts for this car. It was built by students at Ranken Technical School, as part of the X-Cup category. I’m a 1984 grad and they reached out to help with finding some parts and how it went together. The class ma...
