    Driving golden era cars in the modern era

    We discovered that the difference between the springs had allready been corrected or replaced sometime in the last 5 decades .

    Driving golden era cars in the modern era

    Been a long time since I've visited the lounge! Busy at work and on the car. Here's a few pics of the progress. Picking, poking,scraping, degreasing and pressure washing the frame and suspension. Here you can see we've moved the upper shock mount to a new bracket on the frame. An...

    Driving golden era cars in the modern era

    Yep! Cleaning off the old ruberized undercoating. It seems to have held on pretty good to the fenders but when I cleaned up the inner wheel well panels there wasn't much holding the undercoating on anymore. I'd say 90 % of the surface area was covered in rust and only 10 % was still protected by...

    Still workin on the plymouth, she was supposed to be back on the road for spring but if you've ever pulled a classic car into the shop for a "little" work then you know what the rest of the story is! You know how the line goes......" Since we've allready got this part off and outa the way, now...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Gattica. Not sure how to describe this one. Futuristic with a retro style. Very cool!

    Hair cuts

    Looks great Swing Motorman! Works great with your hairline and head shape, better than in the first unstyled pic above.

    Show us your SHOES !!!

    I see a lot of "trees" in this thread. Sometimes I see them while I'm out thrift shopping but I've allways passed them up. What exactly is the purpose of the shoe tree, what does it do for the shoe?

    OTHER THAN eBAY Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    Average price, about 40 bucks. If I'd seen a style that I wanted I would have purchased but I've got enough 70's stingy and I'd probably never wear a Homburg! Value is in the eye of the beholder!! I'm not really collecting, just looking for great hats to wear.

    Anyone else can't bring themselves to wear vintage/used shoes ?....

    Vienna Bespoke Clothing and Shoes - NYT article

    I can say with certainty that I will never be well off enough to afford a bespoke suit, shoes or custom fit hat. Neat article though, true craftsmen.

    Anyone else can't bring themselves to wear vintage/used shoes ?....

    I buy all my shoes used except sneakers. Just use some of the same antibacterial deoderizing sprays the bowling alley uses and your good to go. Not as creepy as head lice and scabbies from an old hat! What are your cleaning/sterilizing practices for a hat purchase? Besides..when you can find a...

    THE MALLORY MILE

    Hey guys, there's a Mallory Ten in an antique mall on U.S. 422 1251 east main st. Anneville PA. It's in an Adams hat box on a high shelf in the last isle. There are a couple of other hats in hat boxes but all were stingy brimmed . Either way, about five or six old hats in this shop for...

    OTHER THAN eBAY Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    I thought maybe I'd hit the jackpot yesterday and in a way I did. Traveled to Hershey PA , about a 3 hour drive from home, my son was involved in a school competition. While he participated, my wife and I traveled around the area looking for thrift shops, junk shops, antique shops and the like...

    Sunglasses that work well with a Fedora?

    Classic or not, this is what I wear when the sun is too bright.

    What About Hoodies Under Leather Jackets?

    Yes! There it is, the defining term that I've been looking for "The Great Unwashed"!! Very clever John, a perfect description of that part of our culture that wallows in rags and slovenly appearance. I've got a hoodie and a leather jacket...never worn together! But then again, I don't wear...

    What are you wearing today??

    Sproily! Hands down the best Photos I've seen!! Very, very cool! I'm glad everyone keeps reposting them , just so much detail that's been paid attention too. Marla, very cute vintage look a few pages back. Neat shoes and hat.

    What are you listening to?

    I LOVE Sinatra and Bing. I own tons of their music and all of their movies! More than anything else in my life, the two of them along with Bogart, are responsible for my love of the Golden Era. I've never heard The Puppini Sisters before! Very cool sound, really liked that link to their music!

    Driving golden era cars in the modern era

    I could deal with red, but not the orange. My buddies 52 chevy has the original six in blue, looks cool. Black is good too and probably easiest to do . Wish I had all the time and money in the world!
