Had been in touch with a guy who had a running big 8 for sale. A tad more than I wanted to pay but would have as the videos looked good - and smoke-free. He's been a bit hincky to get in touch with, going dark on me. Checked his ad aging tonight.
It's listed as sold.

Does anyone reproduce donut chasers or any of the hood ornaments? Seems to me that a competent caster with a good mold and access to spent shell casings (brass) could cast new ornaments and plate them and do okay.

I'm no copyright lawyer, nor do I play one on TV. I have no dog in that fight or any other like it. Unfortunately for the world around be, I am full of opinions. THat said, I would deduce that the resemblance between their figure and our donut chaser is fleeting at best. The obvious missing element: the donut.

THat car is a drivetrain to me. Other than some glass and trim, there's not a lot that isn't really far gone.
Too bad, because it's a top-of-the-line model.

Okay, that's my Laugh du Jour. Thank you. Today, I needed that. I actually bought my flock from Facebook. One guy took a month to reply, but he finally did and we were able to conduct business. Luck of the draw, I reckon.

This car is long since off the trailer and the cannibals are busy with it. The passenger front door is quite stuck and in the spirit of trying not to destroy any more than I absolutely have to and being that is the best door on the car, the visor is still stuck in place with it. Pics when it comes off. Wish me luck.

I messaged that guy with the Maroon '46 on 3 June and am still waiting for a reply. His is the third ad I've had that happen with, and I have a 4th advertiser who's going dark on me, too.
I don't get it.

Opinions are like noses. Everybody has one, many of them are/have been broken, and many of those have been broken more than once.
That said, I'm no fan of the hoopdie crowd with their 26" wheels-n-tires nor of the tuners with their over-revving tin boxes which sound like sewing machines (am I dating myself here?) on steroids with empty oil can mufflers. I do what I do, and some folks think I'm violating some sanctity or another. At the end of the day, we're all Car Guys. Anything that might help (although coming from Big Gummint, "Help" may be a forlorn hope) is okay in my book. But, what are the Unintended Consequences?

Just noticed this. How does one pump oil into the galley? Maybe some 50/50 in there would cure what ails it.
