i need to anchor a 1/2 inch threaded stud to the concrete garage floor for a small pulling device. Have the hole drilled 3/4 inch deep and 9/16 diameter.

Any experts out there on what kind of epoxies to use even if expensive. Needs to hold to at least 500 pounds of pulling. Preferably something available at a good hardware store, Lowes or home depot.

To put this into a Packard perspective apparently Enzo Ferrari as a youth was so impressed by the power and smoothness of a Packard Twin Six that later in life when he began buildng cars he chose the V-12 configuration for the engines. A friend of mine owned a 1966 Ferrari 275GTB and to my gearhead ear there is no finer sound coming from an engine than that of the Ferrari V-12 in "full song".

Thanks!
I feel better. My one active brain cell was worried about expiration. It's already quite lonely.

You're correct, Henney built the lwb 8-pass models in 1946-47, of course using bodies supplied by Briggs as a starting point, but declined to build them for the 22nd-23rd series as they were too busy with funeral service vehicles and ambulances. So the 48-50 lwb cars were actually built by Briggs. This is also stated in the Henney section at www.coachbuilt.com. My error in calling that car a Henney.

PS - I've corrected my prior post. I think what I had in mind at the time was to convey the very large differences in quality of appointments and workmanship between the Henney or Briggs built lwb cars and the 41/42 LeBaron lwb cars.

i guess it's about time for Owen to show up and tell us:

"Now that you've had your fun and humor, let me bring us back to the original topic for a moment ..."

GUFAW HA HA HA HA HA !!!!

However, all of this has suddenly reminded me of several dash, window and other types stickers and decals that were popular during the 50's thru mid 70's era. I never cared much about stickers and decals but i'll start a different thread about those anyway. Remeber the "Mr Speed" cigar smoking wood pecker heads of the 60's and earlier???

Turbopackman "just about anything Italian is preferable to anything American made".

It is this sentiment (substitute German, French, Japanese) that has made America what it is today-a third world has been.

IMHO, and it's just that, my opinion, just about anything Italian is preferable to anything American made, Italian cars, Italian bikes, Italian food, Italian women.... if I didn't know any better, I'd say I probably have a little Roman Centurion blood in my family from way back when. I can't help it, I have a taste for the finer things in life, and those usually have the words "Made in Italy" in there somewhere.

Agreed....dollar for dollar... pound for pound, Corvette is a better value.

And WalMart is a better then value than Prada.

And JC Penny's is a better value than Gucci.

And K-Mart is a better value than Ferragamo.

dollar for dollar... pound for pound...

Mercedes mismanaged Chrysler? Or was Chrysler impossible to manage?

Sorry... but I'll put my faith in Mercedes... perhaps the world's premier automaker.

"Like I stated before Fiat doesn't have the money on hand to start up production and build up a dealer network from scratch in the US."

Uh so? And does Chysler have the money on hand to start up production and build up a dealer network from scratch in the world markets that Fiat is in?

"It is very interesting how Fiat helps prop Ferrari up with selling most of its engine production to another company owned by Fiat MASERATI."

Is it strange that engines are shared among Fiat brands?

Mal,
I have nominated you and Wade for "PInfo Archeologists of the Week" award.

Hope you find your glasses.
