Stop in for a cup of coffee

I do have some motorcycle & trailer plates, but not enough to really do much with yet.

Pms do not work for me, so if you can contact me via the page at The 1970 Hamtramck Registry Contact Page that would be great, my mailing address is there.

When they come in I write the donors name on the back with a sharpie.

I need about 250 more cars plates to finish the shop lid, so I am not picky.

Thanks Ben!

I'll gather 'em up tonight. May be the end of next week before I ship them tho. I'm headed to the coast to do a fishing for a few days.
 
No rush. I have a non-runner on the side of the shop right now, so I am not planning on getting the scaffolding set up to add anymore until spring or so. I have about 70 more waiting to go up so far.
 
Saw this picture on a milk carton. Anyone seen this guy?

Suspension Geometry..
Having read only enough to be confused.. Ackerman angle stuff says something like 'outer tie rod ends should be along an imaginary line drawn through the center of the rear axle and ball joints (pivot axis?)'.. This would put rear mounted tie rods 'inside' the ball joints and front mounted tie rod ends 'outside' the ball joints.. I was thinking about my Scout. Tie rod runs in front of the front axle but the outer ends are still inboard of the ball joints. It was this way from the factory. What, if anything, would be gained from re-engineering the steering linkage to be 'Ackerman compliant'??? The driver's side of the front axle is below and you can see that the tie rod end is 'at best' in line with the ball joint..

My 69 has the short/long setup. 73 rear swap had equal length. I was able to use the 69 stuff on the 73 rear and make it work. For the disc setup, I'm sure their CS has dealt with this before and should have an easy fix.

I hope. Thanks.
 
Ooohh... a Scout. I see one around here once in a while driving around.

Know anyone looking for an International grille? Near perfect condition & the plant comes with it. ;-)
