For as nice as the outside of the body was on the 'maro, the previous owner's idea of detailing under the hood was nothing more then a rattle can of black paint!!!! Lots of sanding and cleanup to do before it's ready for the big transplant!!!!!! Oh well, very little rust and what is there is just surface rust!!!!Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

I prefer quart clear plastic "peanut" containers so you can see what is in there all the way to the bottom! Not so many glass containers with screw top lids anymore, but smaller Folger plastic containers are also clear. "Working in the garage" to me probably means at least two runs up the street to the nearest ACE Hardware store, so looking in the clear containers reveals a lot of bolts that were too long, too short, wrong diameter etc, BUT (!) later you can see what you have and sometimes some previous mistake is just what you need now. It is not that I can't figure out what I need, it is just that once you start to bolt it together it often is not right for some reason. That is the difference between replacing factory parts and installing aftermarket items on a 'glass body. Eventually I got a representation of most of the sizes in the 1/4" or 3/8" stainless bolts!
Nice planes! We also have an aircraft museum at the Richmond airport but it has mostly later military planes and I am only across I-95 from the Hanover County Airport with a lot of small aircraft circling overhead on any given day so I am used to seeing them a lot, but all those Allisons are a sight to see! The history of the "Victory Engine" is such that they made so many of them that they were used until 1935 and later by merely swapping in new ones after so many hours of service so probably a lot of the used ones could easily be rebuilt if parts are available. Still the chassis modifications required to use one of those engines makes them useful only for speedboats or dragsters, but they are still very interesting.

I have my bolts and nuts separated by size in quart Classico spaghetti sauce bottles with the smaller and odd ball stuff in glass baby food jars left from GC visits. Some of the SS fasteners are in coffee cans - those shown are about full. These are the new fasteners, a full box of used but reusable stuff is under my bench as well as the 'back room'. A guess on value - probably in excess of $1000, with more added regularly. Most come from McMaster-Carr as the local hardware store fasteners all say from an unnamed Far Eastern countryLast edited by IC2; 02-13-2008 at 10:12 AM.

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

I am amazed at garages with Venetian blinds! All I have is screening but I won't show my work bench. I use the method based on "most used tools are on top" but may clean it up to install a new drill press. If it ever is cleaned up I will take a picture and let you think it is that way all the time! Even so the peer pressure is great so I may try to "get neat".

Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
