Can you identify this automobile?

estandridge3034gmailcom — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 11:55:40 +0000

Hopefully I've posted this in the right forum here..

I'm trying to put an approximate date to an old photograph. This automobile was cropped from the photo so that more detail is visible. In an educated guess, this photo was probably taken sometime around 1915. I figure that by identifying the automobile I should be able to better verify this. I don't really know that much about older cars like this, so I figured I'd ask the experts. Any help you can provide would be appreciated!

Antique Auto materials

boydjohn7winntelnet — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 09:21:16 +0000

Several years ago I inherited a box of antique automobile (and other) literature from my grandfather, Herman Henkel, who, in about 1915 made a "cross country" run, from Medford, OR to Detroit, in a 1909 EMF. He later reconstructed a 1909 EMF, kind of in honor of that trip and his history with EMF. I am including the list in this email. I still have the materials available, and am still interested in selling them, as a package, as we are planning on moving to Florida and don't really want to move them again.

Please let me know if you are interested, know anyone who might be, and what sort of price. As I indicated, I am interested in selling the entire package..

Thanks

1941 Hudson Deluxe Business Coupe

DocHubler — Sat, 14 Apr 2012 22:10:37 +0000

Here's a couple pictures of my 1941 Hudson business coupe. All original interior, drivetrain, etc. Got the engine running after a slumber of 35 years in Philadelphia, PA. and have had this out on the road. I also have a 1941 Hudson Deluxe Sedan (all stock, only 47K miles) and 1941 1/2T PU. I've rebuilt the engine for the sedan, and I'm working on an engine for the PU. The body work on the PU has been started, and the entire chassis has been repainted and all suspension parts replaced with parts from Rare Parts, Inc. I'm looking for the stainless trim piece in the center of the grille that wraps around the bottom. I have talked with Lee Pontius, but he didn't have any in his inventory. I have a diecast one from a 41 Super or Commodore that I would trade.

Home Brew

HudsonTech — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 11:04:30 +0000

Got an email from Carl Weber this morning with the following info that might be of use to the general assembled. I told Carl I'd put it on the forum.

Subject: Home brew

Machinist's Workshop Mag recently published some information on various penetrating oils that I found very interesting. Some of you might appreciate this. the magazine reports they tested penetrants for break out
torque on rusted nuts.

They are below, as forwarded by an ex-student and professional machinist.

They arranged a subjective test of all the popular penetrants with the control being the torque required to remove the nut from a "scientifically rusted" environment.

*Penetrating oil .......... Average load*
None ........................... 516 pounds
WD-40 ..................... ... 238 pounds
PB Blaster .................... 214 pounds
Liquid Wrench ............... 127 pounds
Kano Kroil .................... 106 pounds
ATF-Acetone mix...............53 pounds

The ATF-Acetone mix was a "home brew" mix of 50 - 50 automatic transmission fluid and acetone. Note the "home brew" was better than any commercial product in this one particular test.

Our local machinist group mixed up a batch and we all now use it with equally good results.

Note also that "Liquid Wrench" is almost as good as "Kroil" for about 20% of the price

Looking To get into Automotive Restoration and Classic hot rod business!

I'm still learning as we speak but I have turned some ugly classic cars into some real head turners. They wasn't off the frame resto or nothing but I brought them back from the dead. My question is for anyone that can answer and help me with some great advice. I have that american dream of working for myself and eventually one day building a car to send it to shows like sema and barret jackson and make a honest living finishing people project cars and turning them into their dream cars.!

Print anything for your classic car with a 3D Printer

shaandgmailcom — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 10:27:27 +0000

Hey all -

Have you seen this? It's a 3D Printer that can print any CAD file. So, custom parts or mock ups for said parts can be had pretty much instantly. It's pretty neat. I've seen Jay Leno with something like this however this is way, way more affordable than that giant machine he has. I'm sure due to the size variation it has it's limitations compared to Jay's but it's still pretty neat.

How to insert an image with/in your discussions

ScottFitzgerald — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 03:09:50 +0000

For those not sure how to, I thought I'd put together a quick tutorial on how to insert images into your discussions.

Firstly, type in your text. Then, click the 'Attach File' button, located just below where you type your post, and then click the 'Choose File' button.

Locate the image file on your computer, and you'll see a thumbnail of the image appear beneath the 'Choose File' button. If you do nothing else but press 'Post Discussion', the image will appear as a thumbnail beneath your post, which, when clicked, can be viewed in its original size.

PUTTING IMAGES IN WITH THE TEXT

To insert the image INTO the post, before you save the post, go back down to the thumbnail beneath the 'Choose File' button, and when you pass your mouse over the thumbnail you will see the option to 'Insert Image'.

After clicking 'Insert Image' you will then notice a collection of characters appear in the writing box, at the bottom, that start with < img src... and ends with .jpg" />

This is the code that will make the image appear inside the writing box, with your text. You can copy that whole line of code, and place it anywhere in with your text, wherever you want the image to appear. So between paragraphs, at the very top of the post, or leave it where it is to have the image appear at the bottom of your post.

If you want to get tricky, and center the image, put < center > at the very beginning of that line of code, and < /center > at the very end of it, and the image will be centered in the writing box.

So the code would look a little like this (I've edited it with gibberish here, just so you can see the line of code):

< center>< img src= CODEANDNUMBERSANDSTUFF" />< /center >

PLEASE NOTE: I have inserted spaces into the code there so that you can see it. If I don't do that it turns what I have typed into the very thing I am trying to demonstrate. Do not insert spaces in those CENTER tags.

INSERTING AN IMAGE FOUND ON A WEBSITE

The instructions above are for when you have the image on your computer, or an external hard drive, USB drive, or disc - i.e. you actually have the image. But you can also put in an image you find on a website. Here's how:

1. Click the image button, and < img src="" /> will appear where you would type your post

2. Go to the picture on you found on the web that you want to insert
3. Right click on the image, and select "Copy Image URL"
4. Paste that URL in between the two sets of double quotes. So: < img src="URL HERE" />
5. Post the comment and you're done.

NOTE: Again, for the purposes of illustration, I inserted a space into < img src="" /> - there is no space between the < and img

I hope this is of help to you getting your images in posts sorted. If I've not been clear, please let me know, and I can try and tighten the tutorial.

Forum "How To" Video!

Richard E. — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 16:05:10 +0000

Sorry to be a grouch, but when the "how to" use the forum video doesn't even work and the maker is Vanilla Forums, I think that this new format is turning out to be a joke and unfortunately the joke is on us! I was actually feeling more optimistic when my Avatar re-appeared this AM when I signed on, but alas this thing is still seriously screwed up. Just IMHO!

Thanks to Ted Welsh & his crew.

Hudson Main Board?

RL Chilton — Fri, 06 Apr 2012 16:18:22 +0000

It seems as though we have the two sub-categories, "Street Rods", and "Discussions", but I don't see the main Hudson board. Has it all been put under "All Discussions"? I believe this is really confusing a lot of folks.

stepdown tire sizes

dougson — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 00:48:24 +0000

Did some research today and realized the tires on my '54 are too small. The factory size for a '54 Hornet was 7.10 15, which corresponds to a 235 75 15 or a 245 70 15 radial. Has anyone used these sizes? Will they (especailly the 245) clear the rear fenders?

painting help

83245kevin — Thu, 08 Mar 2012 11:03:32 +0000

Hello,
I am new to the site and look forward to doing a lot of reading and learning. I manly logged in for a question and i did some searching but didnt have much luck. I hope this makes since to you and thank in advance for your help.

I have a 57 chevy 3100 and the cab has been chopped 3 1\2 inches, i have had this truck for 4 years and drove it all over in black primer. i wanted to paint it so this is what i have done so far.
the engine is removed so i could have access to the fire wall
the cowl is removed
the grill is removed
the radiator support is removed (easier to install the 396 bb)
the rear fenders is removed from the bed
the bed is removed
Now you kinda have an idea of what i am looking at so here is my question

When watching shows and reading everyone one leaves out a step in the process, i want to make sure that i do this correctly.

I can paint each part but the when you put the parts back on the bolts will not match or if i paint the bolts and parts then the wrench to put on the bolt will scratch the bolt. if i put it all back together and paint the i can not get the paint gun in to some tight places like between the fenders and the top under side of the bed. (this was pretty bad with 3 paint jobs on the truck and paint was just sprayed into the tight areas and were spider webed).
if i shot the bolts after they are put in the that would get on the clear coat.

I sure hope you can shead some light on this one!

thanks again.
