Here are the photos that John sent.

She is gorgeous and I would hate to see this car not be put back on the road.

If you want to email them to me I will post them for you.

Is there a Service Bulletin outlining the process of servicing the teens and twenties Pierce U joints?

[Author nameAuthor names are only available to PAS members.]

So I went and checked out the mtfca website.

That was definitely an in-house design done with very old web design concepts in mind.

A lot of modern discussion boards use vBulletin.

I don’t know if our current site is using software that was purchased outright or is subscription based.

I also don’t know if it hosted by a member, the PAS Museum or with a hosting service.

I do know that vBulletin can be purchased outright or be subscription based and can be self hosted or service hosted.

I encourage the Committee to look at other enthusiast websites and get a feel for what they like or want in the new site.

Greg, The fan hub is an upgrade I have been pondering for some time now.

Looks like I will have to grab one before he decides to stop making them, I’d rather not have my radiator destroyed if the hub ever let go.

Rick, sort of off topic for this thread, but did you use the stock fan hub or did you pick one up from John Cislack?

If that is one of John’s you can’t tell it’s not original at all.

That is a beautiful car.

I’d love to see it next to Rick’s once he’s done with his.

What a great looking pair that would be.

Jim, that would not have been good for the pistons to have cardboard on them during startup.

Sometimes people don’t live up to the hype.

Attached picture has a caption that says it is a Scripps-Booth Showroom.

That is a great document to have along with your car.

I would frame it and have it in the garage next to the spot where it normally parks.

Everyone knows that if an old Harley isn’t leaking it’s out of oil.

But a lot of teens and twenties cars leaked from day one.

I know I’ve seen more than one vintage showroom photos of various car dealers and there are drip pans under the brand cars on the showroom floor.

Greg, it is Bob that is looking for an oil pump.

But if Bob doesn’t email you I will just to jog your memory.

Would it work to have a machine shop remove the excess from one end or the other?

Hard to tell from the pics posted.

That would be considerably cheaper than having an entire unit machined.

[Author nameAuthor names are only available to PAS members.]

I’ve also heard of people using synthetic oil in an oil burner to lessen the amount of visible smoke so the car could be sold.

I know back when I rode 2-stroke dirt bikes that the bikes would puff far less visible smoke when I used synthetic 2-stroke oil compared to regular dino oil.

Most modern auto enthusiast sites use vBulletin.

It looks better and is more accommodating than what we have now.

Transferring existing data into searchable threads would be the biggest issue with a move like that.

That is no small task.

I would remove the chrome extension and mount a filter directly to the airhorn on the carb.

For the valve cover breather tube I would just put a small breather cap or just let it free air.

Just use the chrome extension for showing the car.

Someone put a ton of time and money into that car and they could have just restored it to its original glory for about the same effort.

$160,000 will get you an outhouse on a 200 Sq ft lot here in So Cal.
