Driving golden era cars in the modern era
That is a beautiful 40 . I'm hearing you on the brake issue, thanks, I think I just take your word for it and do the brakes while she's all torn apart this winter! I'd hate to learn from my mistake when I can learn the lesson from your experience!- Bourne ID

Porkpies with 2 inch brim (not stingy)?
Not sure what you're looking for but I've always loved this Bailey Pork straw. Stylin and not too stingy. Very comfortable as all my Bailey straws are. -

Driving golden era cars in the modern era
Still has the original drums on the front and the drums on the 94 ford ranger rear axle. I'm not one for speed so that'll do till I scratch up some more cash for a brake upgrade, probably go with disc up front when I pick up the dropped spindles. I'm also hoping to add some seat belts this...- Bourne ID

Driving golden era cars in the modern era
That is the dilema. Not into hot roddin either but I don't have the wallet to collect and put on a shelf, I wanna drive it and I mean every day! Hard to do with an old drivetrain in a modern town. No need for speed but the price was right on the v8.- Bourne ID

Driving golden era cars in the modern era
Not too much, I already have installed 3 inch lowering block in the rear and when I need new front tires I purchased a slightly small tire to bring the front down a bit. Eventually I'll bring the front down some more with dropped spindles. I love all the chrome on the car so nothing to do there...- Bourne ID

Driving golden era cars in the modern era
I Love that 47 chevy up there. Here's my 50 Plymouth Special Deluxe . I've had if for three years, drove it like you see it for a year before I lost a main bearing. A Friend of mine did the repairs and suggested I get rid if it, not confident the new main would last. I decided to swap the three...- Bourne ID

Genius of a man, made the trip to Oregon a few years back, stopped in at the Evergreen Musuem and saw the Spruce Goose. Beyond Impressive!!! Visited the in-laws too....not as impressive!!! If you're ever that close to Evergreen museum you should shoot out to Tillamook Or, and visit the Air... -
New to hats, would like some advice
Working my way thru this thread, new to the Lounge. Hey Teach! I think the Porkpies look great on you, the proportions and shape really work well. They do lend themselves to a more casual style. A few years back I found three Porkpies at the salvation army for under ten bucks. And all my size!! -

Where do you hang your hat?
New to the Lounge and Loving all the great info. I built a hat shelf in the hallway a few years back in an attempt to keep my hats neat. It worked great until the cats discovered how much warmer it is up there near the ceiling and claimed it for themselves. Between the cats making more room for... -
