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

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.

Scott

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

Scott

Lee,
I have an extra pair, I’m in the St. Louis area

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...

Double post

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,
Check your email

Scott

Payment set via PayPal

Thanks

Scott

Allen, I responded with a quick question about shipping

Scott

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 hope he is doing better and has a speedy recovery

Frank,
I would like to buy this

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:

If available id like to buy the lock

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

Scott

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...

If this is still available,
I’d like to purchase it.

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.

Scott

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 !

Scott

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...

On Saturday we got 4 cars together for our spring tour here in St. Louis. It was a beautiful sunny day, after the devastating storms that hit the area the day before. We had a nice 20ish mile drive, visited the historic Frank Lloyd Wright house in Ebsworth park and the Laumeier Sculpture park and th...

The photo didn’t attach so ill try again

The jig was delivered today along with the other Items.
I threw a pan I had at the shop on it and it took about 10 mins of persuasion to get it to fit. I look forward to working a different pan I have that is in a bi worse shape.

Thanks,
Scott

For an oval tank, empty.
Voice of experience talking….

They arrived today

Thanks Jerry

John,
I looking for a suitable replacement

Scott

I recently received an aftermarket fuel gauge that I bought from Jay Buscio. It looks great, but age has taken its toll on the cork float. Do any forum members have any advice? While searching for a suitable replacement, I found a source of straight sided cork on Amazon. It appears that the original...

Jay,
I wish I had a round tank!
Very Cool

I’ve had mine for going on 4 years now. It makes the car enjoyable to drive, for sure. Don’t be afraid to force it into gear, it sometimes seems difficult but it gets easier with practice. I banged it pretty hard learning to drive it. I was worried I had done some damage once so I pulled the cover o...

I made a key for my running board tool box. I took parts off an old worthless coil I had almost thrown out. I’d like to take credit, but a fellow member posted this fix on a post I saw in the past. Whoever you are, thank you for the idea. I took several attempts cutting and filing to get a usable ke...
