    Acts of automotive stupidity

    Good catch and good luck. Two co workers (I swear I was not involved!) also did the oil on floor minus drain plug deal. The one guy caught it while adding the first quart and was laying under the van with his finger in the drain because he didn't know where the other guy put the plug. Yelled...

    Vern's Fillin' Station

    Hanging out with the crew at the Wild Game Cookout and car show. (These church shows are the best!) Anyway, The guy that owns these is pushing 90, still drags his dragster around to the shows. This drag truck with the 235 6 cyl was last raced in the 60's, and was sitting ever since under the...

    Public Service Announcement!

    Gold Silver and LEAD[cl I have no where I have to be, fortunately. Close to everything for a bike ride. When Andrew struck S Florida, we were on the northern tip of it, some damage, but the power was out for only 3 days and it was hot! But then came Katrina, followed a few weeks later by...

    The VINs of pre 1954

    Here in Fla they greatly improved the system. You stand in line for 5 minutes, get a number, and watch as they show on a screen where you are. They have probably over 50 open windows, usually i'm there for 45 minutes. So I am going to hold off on this court thing for now, until I do more...

    The VINs of pre 1954

    I would be careful with that idea, one slip up and who knows, especially up in Joisy. I did something similar when I replaced my rusty 71 GMC cab with a nice one from a junkyard. I removed both plates, and gave them both with title to the purchaser when I sold it. Even the rivets that hold them...

    The VINs of pre 1954

    Update So after phone consults with the DMV, I risked the trip to their main office that handles these matters. Met with 'the pro", who inspected the car, he was also confused by the LAQ, right away said truck, but could not find any other info, and mumbled something about possibly Canada as...

    Rat Rod of the Day!

    Yea the open floors and steel buckets cant be too much fun on the road, as well as some of the mechanics on these things, but it is some crazy S. I'm all for road worthyness, and safety, big money looks comes last.

    The VINs of pre 1954

    I am getting ready to call my county DMV office. No on the engine sighting, I bought this car from a carpenter that got frustrated with it because he didn't know what he was doing. ("I'm a carpenter, Jim, not a mechanic!") To add to the mystery there is no record of anything in the classic car...

    The VINs of pre 1954

    Snopro, thanks, I am in the process of reading that post. Based on the one story about shenanigans in the plant, it is possible the original car ended up with a truck code. Or....the Q in the code should be a G The car has a title, has passed hands at least twice before me. It just never had a...

    The VINs of pre 1954

    I had posted earlier about the VIN on the title matched up to a truck engine with power glide. There was never a tag on the door pillar or anywhere. No evidence of screw or rivet holes anywhere. On the 54 chev the plate is up on the upper driver side door frame by vent window. It is possible an...

    The VINs of pre 1954

    So my 53 Chev, titled in Florida, has the engine number on the title. This engine is long gone as I have the SBC. I was talking to a guy in the tow business and he said that if my car was ever impounded, it wouldn't be released if they can't associate a VIN to the car, suggested I look on the...

    Truer words were never spoken!!!

    It is amazing how the simplest things can become a major ordeal, and yet in a lot of cases one can breeze through a major project and turns out to be so simple that you wish you did it sooner.
