This is very cool, I remember riding on these sections when I was a kid, and now they may reopen them (sort of). http://autoweek.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060703/FREE/60623007 http://www.briantroutman.com/highways/abandonedpaturnpike/trip.html

| Car shippers | 06 Jul 2006 16:01 GMT | 3 |
be careful when shopping for car shippers. Although I recommend Peg's, shop around but be careful. A NG'er just got a great quote from Autotrail so I called Peg to ask why she was so much higher. She just said "Please don't tell me he paid Autotrail anything", so I did a web ...

| Blown head gasket confirmed | 06 Jul 2006 12:55 GMT | 8 |
Several weeks ago I posted that my newly acquired '64 Daytona convertible had poor compression on two adjacent cylinders (3 and 5). With no antifreeze in the oil and no bubbles in the radiator I suspected a blow out between the two cylinders though I hoped it was just valves ...

| Blown head gasket de-confirmed | 06 Jul 2006 04:12 GMT | 2 |
Per my post yesterday re my '64 Daytona convertible, I pulled the left head fully expecting to see a groove in the head gasket and maybe the head and block. No such thing. The exhaust valve on five looked a little strange, almost like it was cocked a little. So, I pulled it- ...

OK, here's the deal. Sal and I will offer the 64 Daytona convert we just bought pretty much as is before prepping for ebay. It's a powershift bucket seat car with PS and power disk brakes and factory AM/FM. It could be a 15K or better car with a bit of work and maybe a grand ...

| Enginie color 61 T-Cab V8 | 05 Jul 2006 17:18 GMT | 4 |
Greetings all. We are rebuilding the V8 motor that goes to my 1961 Red 1/2 ton T-Cab. What color should the block be? Is the color the same for a 259 and the 289? Finally, I think the valve covers are to be yellow, but would like to

Just saw this film - very powerful. Had the added pleasure of a 20 minute Q&A with Al Gore afterwards. Whatever your political beliefs, whoever you voted for - do yourself a favor, see this film. It's not a political thing - it's a moral thing.

| finally some progress... | 05 Jul 2006 15:19 GMT | 9 |
spent today FINALLY putting stuff together. Saturday I went to torque down my flywheel and whoops, one of the bolts stripped. So I regrouped (after cussing and throwing things) and got some new Grade 8 bolts, ground one flat down on each one, and... well... you know. Most of a ...

I figure this topic will not generate much response as any political issue here but I want to throw it out anyway. 1956 Packard Executive 2 door hardtop that needs everything. Dover White and Jamacian Yellow accent. I will probably drive this car until

| 289 Engine rebuild for my President Classic | 05 Jul 2006 05:21 GMT | 2 |
I'm about to get started rebuilding the engine on my 1956 President Classic. All I need to do is get an engine hoist and stand and it's ready to come out. I removed the drive shaft this weekend so the transmission is free to come out with the engine. My plan is to keep it stock.
