    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!!!!

    Ya the one in the very front of the first picture fenced in wood is a Merlin and the blue engine in the second picture is one also. Could be some on the rack also.

    I like your Folgers bolt organizer, Dave! I've got a whole set of those myself. They work much better than the Maxwell House version.

    There you go! How about a "Sponcered by Folgers" sign on the roof of the 'Maro. I see lots of product placement potential here; Boyd, Foose, American Chopper; they could all have Folgers cans lurking in view of the camera. Give it a shot.

    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 country

    If they send a big enough check, I'll paint it Folgers red like the container and have Pro Z make me a full length decal for each side!!!!!!!

    O K Dave, I couldn't resist. I e-mailed Folgers' advertisement dept with the idea for a commercial of an early Saturday morning in the garage with a guy working on his ride and drinking a cup of coffee, and his workbench lined with Folgers cans. We'll split the million dollar check when it get's here! BTW, are you going to play yourself in the commercial or have them call Robert Redford in?

    Redford doesn't look old enough to play Dave, and Walter Brennan is dead.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    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".
