Moving indoors... ...to repaint one of the new diecast cars Highland Green ;-) As Mike says - Too darn cold to work on the real ones.

No, rather use a "threaded" comp. gauge and see how long it holds compression once you see what it initially is. Re: driving to seat rings - try to go uphill or accellerate repeatedly in high gear a few times & make the engine "work"... My car failed an innitial "leak down", (on a relatively...

Casey, did you to a "leak down" test in conjunction w/ compression test? Otherwise; do check the pushrod as you may have over-torqued (and bent) it when you were trying to quiet the lifter noise, only other culprit would seem to be valve seals. ???? Frustrating, I know. 'Hope for the...

Jeff, you may want to consider attaching it to something given your present configuration. I had one that became loose with time & became a source of leakage where it fed into the block. I had to remove & re-seal it...

...Here ya' go Cory...

...That it does - but it's actually Mike Brown's and is based at Ione, CA. It is the most "perfect" remaining F7F because it was never converted into an air tanker (not to take anything away from Kalamazoo's:-) Now, Don't get me started on F7Fs!!!!!!!! ;-)) P.S. Thanks guys for the...

...Yes Cory. More P-51s are airworthy today than ever because of specialized airframe builders and abundance of Merlin engines after the hydroplaners went to jets. They're tooled such that all you need is a good data plate and alot of $$$. I've seen many crashed P-51s plus alot of corroded...

Boy, you guys... ...get near & dear to my heart when you start talking P-51 Mustangs - my original inspiration for wanting the four wheeled version in the first place ;-) It's always sad when one goes down, but like our "Mustangs", there are owners and shops dedicated to keeping these...

...One of my favorites too! It'll be interesting to see what $$ she brings.

Qickie hat samples... ...Using a low-res pic from HG's gallery ;-) We can't do plate frames, but we can do decals that can be put on frames. They can be produced at the ready...

Nice one indeed! 'Has all the great GT/CS looks while retaining enough '67 features to remain as a "known clone". What a great driver that would be!...

Lisa, believe it or not, an old leather purse will work good as an emergency tool kit... It won't slide around & ding up the inside of your trunk like a tool box can. Add battery jumper cables as well...

...I can make you one with your car if you'ld like. PM me for you're interested :-)

...Success!...

I did that & still never found CJ's. As Rhonda said - others came up twice. I did enjoy looking at 'em all, but ran out of time looking for CJ's. I'll try again later...

...Thank you for that Joe :-)
