1940 ford coupe is not at the top of its game, issues with columbia rear end
Agree with carb issue... float check, needle valve, etc. If it's a stock flattie 40 like mine than the choke is manual, so that shouldn't be an issue. Also I would check fuel filter if there is an inline filter added on or if the carb you're using has a filter stone built in. I had a problem...- hbogie

Sounds easy when you say it fast! I started out with just getting my house back to the original layout and then went from there. Just from that process I found an original fireplace plastered over I didn't know about and a butler staircase that was closed off. I still laugh at the listing add...- hbogie

Wow, that would be a great house restored! I always wanted a turret :) It's a shame how many of these have been broken up like that. The historic district I live in is full of them. The work to bring one back though is endless! :eeek: I'm 8 years and counting into taking a 6 bedroom four square...- hbogie

The tank, bowl, and flush handle are original. Can't remember the make but it's not one you see often. The pipe, oak seat, and the works inside the tank are new. I can see where the names came from... It definitely has an intimidating gravity assist power flush!! This thing laughs at the new...- hbogie

What do you do for Living?
I make electricity... power plant electrician / controls tech. Also buy and sell antiques I pick up at local auctions on the side. Buying is easy, but parting with most of the finds is the hard part! :)- hbogie

Thanks! :) I'm definitely happy how it turned out. If I remember right, the floor is Armstrong linoleum tiles I ordered from Lowes. I still need to paint the chairs and the swinging door to the dining room that I put back as original.- hbogie

No, new to FL still... but here's a tour :) This was originally a 12' x 12' kitchen with 5 doorways and a hug window, not sure where you did any prep work? There was a pantry room and a mudroom behind and an open porch entrance. When it became an apartment they made the porch and half the...- hbogie

Wow, great job on the kitchen and great color choices Rue!! Agree with everyone, I love the nook. Gas stoves are not too bad to work on and there are a few good sources online for vintage stove parts and getting the oven thermostats rebuilt. I ended up finding a 1952 O'keefe & Merritt for my...- hbogie

Buy New, Vintage or Victorian Home?
Exactly what Rue said... my house was built in 1906 and the bulk of the issues with it have been undoing the "improvements" done in the 1970's. A victorian that hasn't been messed with is the way to go... but a close 2nd would be a nice arts & crafts bungalow.- hbogie

Nice pic! That's a clean studebaker. The 55 I plan to make a nice problem free cruiser. There was no drivetrain with it other than a later 10 bolt GM rear. So picked up a 4 speed Muncie cheap from a guy at work which I'll use with an old school hurst bench seat style shifter. The motor will...- hbogie

New to the FL (great site!) and just saying hey to the car crowd. You guys have some nice rides on here! I too have the car bug (and pretty much everything else old!) and am lucky enough to have both of my bucket list cars to restore. The first is a 55 Bel Air hardtop. Picked this up 4 yrs ago...- hbogie

Thanks! It's been a long 8 years, but it's getting there. It was split up into apartments when I bought it and all trace of character was long gone. I was on a trip to the bay area last year and did get sticker shock, so guess we do get a little more for the $- hbogie

I wish! Here the assessments are about half of real value now too. They don't dare reassess after the political fallout from the last one... so they just raise the millage rate every year. They finally have a Homestead discount in place (takes a few $100 off) and have to vote on any school...- hbogie

Who Did You Just See Live?
Straightjackets & SCOTS are always a great show! The end of October we're going to the Mondo Zombie Boogaloo show featuring both the Straightjackets & SCOTS along with The Fleshtones. Both of them in the same show should be quite entertaining! -

Southeast PA taxes are bad too. Schools are all funded on a local level... almost $5000 a year school tax now an a house assessed at only $130k. Add the local and county taxes to that and it's $7500 a year and rising. We're all paying at 2000 assessed rates... if they ever reassess again it'll...- hbogie
