Hey now, Corollas are about as reliable as your refrigerator – and just about as exciting.

If the lens in the photo is a TwoLite isn’t it installed upside down?

I used Lucas Tire in Long Beach, CA when I put on new tires, tubes and rim strips on back in 2006.

I have not had a single issue with any of the tires.

They may be a good resource for some info.

Our Pierce used to shimmy like crazy when you hit a bump going 25 – 30mph.

It was very worrying at times it shook so badly.

Checked the king pins, had new tires installed and balanced, made sure all the steering linkage didn’t have slop in it and then we took it to a truck alignment center that has been in business for 30+ years.

Not sure exactly which one of those remedied the problem but the shimmy has not been back for going on 8 years now.

If the part you are referring to is the one in the front, middle of the picture with the grease fitting on top, that connects the shock to the axle.

Steering linkage is the bar that can barely be seen in the pic and the angled linkage in the middle is for the brakes.

If AOL is the one that actually got hacked then it won’t matter what type of device you access them with.

Everyone just needs to be vigilant with their emails and not open anything that doesn’t look right.

Since you do drive your cars a lot and you say you are rather spirited while doing so, I would use the drop center wheel for safety sake.

Sure, you may get points taken off at a show but that’s better than having a wheel come apart at speed.

Wow. Very sorry to hear about your break in.

I sincerely hope you recover your stuff and the thieves are put away for a long time.

Hopefully your parts are recovered and your dream of seeing your car all back in one piece come to fruition.

Too bad there wasn’t more information given about where the Pierce was found.

As you said, it is rough but what a great piece to start a restoration with.

Finding another one will be like looking for hen’s teeth.

Everything looks nice and solid with no evidence of prior body work being done.

Thanks for the updates.

Thank you putting this deal together again.

I took advantage of this deal last year and the entire purchase experience was great.

The wood looks to be in great shape, especially for an open car.

Thanks for sharing your progress.

Thanks for the follow up, Jak.

William R., my car only has the outside Klaxon horn, there has never been one under the hood as long as it’s been in the family some 50 years.

I’d like to get under and take some pictures of the junction blocks just to have them on file thanks for the tip on their location.

Jim, good to hear that you found some reflectors that will work and I’m happy to have helped. If you need anything else just let me know, I still have the headlamp apart.

William S., thanks for the run down on the bulbs. I have a couple of spares but they don’t match so your post will help me get what I need.

My car has the special horn bracket mounted on the driver’s side of the radiator.

Do you know where the added wiring block is mounted?

I can take photos of any of these items if anyone needs them.

Ed, thanks for the picture, the car is stunning.

I’m still wondering why we haven’t seen pictures of the Packard?

An ambulance service and a mortuary, two services that will always be in demand no matter what the economy looks like.
