Re: New member, can you identify this Hack?

Just remember that a well built ugly car will remain around for a long time to offend but that beauty is in the eye of the beholder said she as she kissed the cow. (that's an old saying from my mother in law)..

You are on the right track. Just remember that a well built ugly car will remain around for a long time to annoy and offend people.

Any news about Larry Sigworth ?

I heard that Larry Sigworth of Bartlesville Oklahoma had passed away but that is not verified. He has been the M.C. at the Speedster runs in Lincoln Nebraska for many years. He is famous for very authentic Paco bodied Speedster.

Re: Motor knock

Some times the connecting rods can get twisted and will cause a knock. We had a 1913 that had that issue. Straightened the rods and the knock went away.

Re: correct angle or measurement for front axle caster

Thank you Jim and I understand that the faster you go the more caster you need. So I will set up originally at 1/4" remembering that there is about an inch and a half of threads and that I have the jam nut set at half way.
