Appeals / Well regarded auto transport
« on: October 14, 2022, 10:23:42 AM »
I have a collector vehicle ready now to be shipped from VT to Rapid City, SD.  Knowing this business is a minefield of crooks, am dumbstruck at the scams being perpetrated.  Will only consider owner/operators with verifiable, positive references.

Yes, I used the search function here first discovering no answers.

SAAC Forum Discussion Area / fuel line bead
« on: July 20, 2021, 04:51:41 PM »
I'm faced with fabricating a a 3/8 stainless fuel line.  Line to hose connections require the steel line to have a retaining bead.  Simple bead forming tools are offered for aluminum lines, but anything advertised that's suitable for steel is impractical for making a single line.  Any experience with alternate bead techniques?

The Lounge / ownership intervals
« on: October 25, 2018, 12:34:50 PM »
Curious, these cars and '60s vintage muscle cars in general appeal to a more mature crowd.  The cost and reliability are something few younger folks can or wish to participate with.  Project cars are a loosing proposition as current labor costs to professionally restore often outweigh any potential resale.  Question becomes, is there a typical ownership interval before a mature owner cashes in?  Thinking many cars may have 10 or more owners by now.

1967 Shelby GT350/500 / white GT350 with huge flares
« on: October 24, 2018, 04:54:06 PM »
Curious, buddy of mine had a white, '67 350 with oversize, Bondo filled flares to shroud 12" wide Goodyear race tires on slotted mags.  At one time had a cage and was reported to have competed at Limerock.  Sat in a NH garage for many years.  Believe it was sold in the late '80s thru a broker in the DC area, or maybe Keene, NH.  May have included Webber carbs.  Always wondered what happened to it.
