  1. Have polished 2 front wheels this week. Ohh... Originnaly they came to me as the first picture. I'm shure all the drivers of that yard made piss on them for some years. There were 24.5 tyres not avalible so wheels were changed for 20's long ago. Most of originals are long gone into alu recycling. So the only two. I started to sand them with wood sand paper and after half an hour understood there were no chanses for any good. Corrosion was too deep plus mec. damages. A friend of mine helped me for a chap who machined them faces. With some weld up on cavits. For not expensive. Picture 2. That chap (have never had luck seen him) is 86. He workes his job all his life although he made as wavy surfase... ...so I had sanded them with a pair of boys at my shop during whole 3 days! I can't say I'm happy about resuls. (3,4) Aluminium is not a material for polishing. It's a best of what I can get of them. Doesn't look like polished stainless. Though I have now two alloys ready for tyres. Vlad
  2. David,I have taken it to account. Just a problem of time and partly finished projects. Promise to be more active Really have seen woods of a great size at pictures with old Macks only. Vlad
  3. Well looking train. If somebody wants to get it back to the States just have to go and pay the best price. Am I wrong? Vlad.
  4. Vinny, You'll have the best one soon! The only thing you need is just keeping her up! Vlad
  5. I'm always impressing of the size of woods. They are probably from B.C., not States? Who is the model builder? Awesome stuff! Vlad.
  6. Don't remember at the moment about some E's for sale, but B's, H's and some other stuff looked like the blue one were about 3-3.5K. Excepting LTL's and W's. So I'm not shure about 6-7. As for me there is not a big difference to pay 3 or 8 because a shipping and customs would be about 5-8K. This way I prefer to pay 10K for better one. Blue one looks well restorable, especially as she runs. But I stop now. Until at least one my project gets ready :( Vlad
  7. Die hard LJ ! I like it and like to see it's still working. Vlad
  8. Just have remembered, about hands. "When you are driving with a nice chick near you and touching her lap by the hand you must to know that you're making bad BOTH things". Vlad

  16. There are two pictures: "before she was fired" and "as she was leaving". I red whole the story one more time. She must be the same bufessional chef
  17. By the chance clean me one thing gyus. Here in Russia we say "right side drive". It means I drive the road on a right side. And vehicles in front of me going to me at left. I understand it well. We also say "right side steering" or "left s.s." But what the hand? And where I must to keep my hand (right or left?) to follow the road?? Vlad
  18. I saw this tread a pair of days ago but hadn't time to read. Because understood it's interestig and actual. I heard same opinions owerhere in Russia. Reading all that above I was enjoyed there are many heavy facts, not just a naked "the best of the best". What's about me? I'm here! Vlad
  19. Still trying to understand when had she repainted the hair before she left?Vlad
  20. Nice car, Bel Air is awesome. You can determine of what the project you working or just feeling yourself to make a choice of the time for. Main reason is to move the projects. You marked you have LJSW. It means it has double screws, isn't it? Vlad.
  21. Indeed!... How 'bout have the same company meeting you every morning at the garage/shop? Vlad
  22. Don't be afraid Ben, I drove some right-hand cars with manual, and they had turn switch on different sides.I had no problems with both and couldn't remember what a hand what I did. Just drove! The most nice was Nissan pick-up with a steering column shifter Vlad
