  1. So she lost and the pansy won?
  2. I'll PM you all the info tomorrow along with my cel #. Thank you, Paul
  3. It's the average for the northeast for mixed material scrap with out counting bad do do in the drum. All the metal prices are in the toilet. Batteries 0.14 lb., brass,$1.02 lb., aluminum 0.25 to .33 lb., electric motors 0.11 lb..
  4. Olive Branch Miss is a suburb of Memphis Tenn. We have anyone close to there to take some photos and a motor / serial number for me? I need to see if it has the 261, 285 or 385 Eight in it. Serial will confirm if it is a CD or a CD Deluxe Eight. Its a 1931 Chrysler Roadster parked inside in 1948. I talked to the seller and he knows nothing about what to look for or cares what to look at. Their idea is if you want it come down and look at it, if you don't like it go back home.
  5. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. our NSU was also a Wankel
  6. Ford specific and from the release knob is from late 1950's time period. Similar to Ford passenger cars. MACK and FWD both had an arm type hand brake. Easier to have your in law have a repair shop weld it up it it needs it.
  7. Yeah she was intrastate but like you said no body at DMV knew what to do apparently.
  8. That one was on E bay in 2012 listed as 1 of 9 made and 1 of 2 made with the open cab.. Here is the article in Bang Shift on it. http://bangshift.com/general-news/ebay-find-2/ebay-find-an-ultra-rare-1957-mack-b-21-fire-truck-one-of-two-ever-made-935ci-engine/
  9. Check the bolts that hold the jack shaft on too.
  10. ditto. My wife was an "excepted" bus driver, she went back and forth the the local NYDMV, on the phone with Albany thes spring, because the NYDMV would not accept she did not need a medical card / form for her class C bus license. She ended up getting the physical.
  11. A Sad day, and sadder that we had the opportunity to "nip the terrorist problem in the bud" and let it slide. As for Hillary the question was asked about her actions on the security of the embassy in Benghazi. . . Her answer was "i wrote a whole chapter on it in my book, read it." !!!
  12. They supplied a glass kit to the Rod and Custom Purple Pig project a few years ago. R&C did an install on the glass made for a 3 inch chop. They installed with no problems according to the photo spread.
  13. The Senate hearing today with Hillary answering questions (with the Senator Gowdy asking them and helping with her answers) The Benghazi Security ''problem" was all put on an underling named Lamb. Hillary had no complicity in the decision. Gowdy agreed the Republicans made a big deal out of it. Funny because Gowdy's opening statement was all about getting to the truth of her actions, seemed to rapidly change as questions were asked. In fact Gowdy told fellow Republicans to "Shut up talking about things you don't know anything about." Rep. Lynn Westmoreland (R-Ga.) said on CNN on Tuesday Good luck trying to break Hillary Clinton, she is not somebody who is going to break". Clinton is spending more than $1 million to blanket the cable news networks with ads attacking the committee on Wednesday and Thursday in key early-voting states and in Washington. Looks to be all smoke and mirrors for the sheeple.
  14. I feel the Ethanol based fuel here would be cane based if it was not for the powerful lobby for corn based fuels. There was a good article on why GM and Ford won't or can't bring their E fueled vehicles to North America. I recall there is an extremely limited support base for Gas and Diesel powered vehicles in Brazil
  15. First time that ever happened to me on any road, main or secondary. Drivers on the LIE are more or less pretty normal and mostly predictable during the week.
  16. You decide Producing ethanol actually creates a net energy loss. According to D.O.E. calculations, producing corn and processing it into 1 gallon of ethanol requires 131,000 BTUs of energy; but 1 gallon of ethanol contains only 77,000 BTUs [source:EPA/DOE]. And since farmers are using fossil-fuel-powered equipment to plant, maintain and harvest the corn and are using fossil-fuel-powered machinery to process that turn crops into ethanol and then, in almost all cases, to ship the product to collection points via fuel-powered transport, the ethanol industry is actually burning large amounts of gasoline to produce this alternative fuel. That ethanol could end up containing less energy than the gasoline consumed to produce it. The U.S. National Renewable Energy Lab finds that it requires 1.3 BTUs of fossil fuel to get 1 BTU of ethanol to market [source: NREL]. That would mean a 30 percent net loss of energy. To place that figure in perspective a vehicle the gets 30 MPG on fossil fuel will get 26.7 on ethanol. The DOE and FDA estimates that powering a car for a single year using ethanol would require 11 acres (44,515 square meters) of corn, a space that can be used to feed at least seventeen people for a year.
  17. It's a model designation. V-63, V-603, AC-603 , 63" cab style, wheelbase, single or tandem, engine type. An example is a AC-603 = 115 wheelbase, short cab and Golden Comet 235 h.p. V-8 V-63 same as 603 except the Golden Comet 160 h.p. six cylinder
  18. Any work to bring it back is progress! Paul
  19. Average of 30,000 plants per acre = 170 bushels per acre times my acreage = not enough $$ for my piddly farm
  20. Average of 33% less MPG than diesel powered I recall God help us if / when the EPA gets on this band wagon. . .
  21. Would have been nice to compensate you for the lost time and money but at least the finally did the right thing . . .way over due but at least they did it. Paul
  22. Smith Brothers Trucking did the transport of the Los Angles Power Plant equipment and most of the installation of the parts. The interesting thing is the photo of them installing the smoke stack. Three AC's to stabilize it and a guide pole, one to lower the stack with a pulley and cable and one man on the roof to guide the stack. Looks like cast iron and about 65 feet tall and about 4 to 5 feet diameter. Pretty cool with no big cranes, unions and OSHA. Paul Dynamo Armature. Transformer unit. Stack install
  23. My two workers were to busy laughing, I was too busy attempting to stop my place from burning.
  24. And haven't any idea of the carnage their inattention caused. I had a classic happen this morning on the Long Island Expressway bob tailing to Riverhead at 7 a.m. in the center lane doing 65. Only 5 or 6 cars and a UPS combo spread out over about 3/4 mile. I see a Honda Pilot on the entrance ramp creeping along at probably 25 . Doesn't accelerate just pulled right into the center lane and I think it actually slowed down! As I got around the lady with out spreading Honda and Marmon parts all over the road I see her blissfully feed a young child in the passenger seat from a bowl of cereal. Never even knew I was there!
