BF- are you going to go see the lathe before he delivers it?
It will be interesting to know the backstory about why he has it in the first place....

[sid pileski]

Tog- your craftsmanship is inspirational. Attention to detail is nice to see. Is your work mainly on bikes?

Sid

[sid pileski]

Yeah, his pompous attitude didn’t go well over there either!
At least we are done with him spewing here.

I’m usually very supportive...

"BTW thanx for the tip about going to practical machinist - you are right they do have some really knowledgeable people there - I should get on well...

[sid pileski]

I think most people are really waiting to see where your cryptic ramblings and pompous attitude is going to end???

Yikes!...

[sid pileski]

Heat??? No! Carhartts!

it rides like the Jeep it is. Not that bad, but bombing around the yard, I don’t go too fast.

Good eye! I could not find enough lug nuts at the auto parts place (Sunday) and Napa was closed.

At one place, I went in, told the guy I...

[sid pileski]

Yeah, she’s a work horse. But not too bad looking for 72 years old. The old tires were really getting bald. Plowing the snow was getting to be an issue....

Wow Doozer! I tend to agree with you 100%!
Now, to beat the dead horse, that’s the way I feel about my lawn!!! (Stripes and all)

[sid pileski]

Doozer- in my case, I can’t agree with your generalized physiological assessment.

Sid....

[sid pileski]

BF- I think what we were in love with, is the "look" of the cars of old. (whatever year floats your boat)
However, when you actually drive...

[sid pileski]

Another interesting aspect of this car is, that it was owned since new (1930) by one family.

Sid

[sid pileski]

It’s a sport coupe, not a cabriolet.

That top doesn’t fold down.

that makes it even a little more rare based on production...

[sid pileski]

It sure enough is a fun car to drive, but even if new, I would not want to have to drive it everyday. 6v battery/starter. Mechanical brakes. No heater....

[sid pileski]

BF- yes, Coker. You can get any part you need for these old girls.
