home bodywork/paint/rust protection question by
Nate Nagel
This is going to sound like an obscure problem, but it's *my* problem,
so I'm going to give it a shot.
I'm 99% certain that I'm going to be buying another old car in the
near future. It's a '64 Studebaker, which are notorious for front
fender rust-out. Now I would like to actually *drive* this...

Incredibly hard-to-remove lugnuts by
James P. H. Fuller
Just lugnuts on a farm trailer wheel, but I can't get them off.
They've been on for years, probably put on with an air wrench,
certainly good'n'rusted. I've tried socket wrench, cross wrench,
electric impact wrench, they won't budge. I've used a gallon of Liquid
Wrench, no joy. I took the trailer...

Plymouth Fury by
Harry K
Saw this one in 1985 inside a closed garage, also saw it still there
last week. AFAIK it has not been moved since 1985. Owned by old
farmer who was using a truck for tranportation, he died recently. I
have only seen this one from the rear end through the garage door.
Covered with decades of...

Brake experts? by
G.R. Patterson III
This summer, I finished a rebuild job of the brakes on my '40 Ford. I replaced the
shoes, drums, lines, and hoses. I rebuilt the wheel cylinders and the master. I put
in silicon brake fluid. Then I started trying to get pressure.
The first step was to get fluid through the lines. I had my stepson...

Opinions wanted! Best first car for beginner by
Eric Martin
Hi, I'd be interested in opinions from this newsgroup on what a good first
collector car for a beginner with limited mechanical skills and tools would
be, given these parameters:
1) Price ceiling of low teens.
2) Desire a daily driver.
3) Chiefly interested in early to mid 1960s styling.

Looks like I just bought myself another car... a '64 Stude convertible,
comes with NOS front fenders. Now fenders on Studes are made in a real
retarded manner, there is a vertical brace at the rear edge with a tiny

I keep running into more and more problems getting service on things I can't do

1949. I don't believe the boat was in the area during the late 1940's
but I could be wrong.
Unfortunately I don't know a lot about antique cars. Can...
