Re: Painting "the car"

Hey Andrew:

Grandma never looked so great. Congrats! So, did you ever confirm that this was her original color?

Re: Updates from Monterey

Adding my thanks to Tom for the party that keeps getting better every year. But the parking? Not so much. I thought the way David Eichenbaum's PF Coupe was prepared and presented was really terrific. Loved the "preservation" class at Concorso and hope this catches on and spreads. I guess it already ...

Re: The Best Penetrating Oil

Interesting. How much power steering fluid percentage wise? Of course many PS units actually use ATF, and some European cars like my wife's Volvo use some stuff called Pentosin - an hydraulic fluid, so what kind of ATF do you recommend?

Re: Yeah Tom!!!!!

Assuming this is the same car we talked about at dinner in Monterey last year, it's been in play for quite some time. Congratulations on landing it.

Re: 250 GT/E Video

Nice clip of a solid driver GTE, but whomever did that interior should be shot. He also seems to have lost the trip piece on the hood. But my favorite comment is that his car "..sounds as good as the million dollar ones..".

My interior dilemma is solved!

All: My dilemma about who should do the interior on my Series II Cab were solved tonight with a single click on e-bay. Jeez - why didn't I think of this before? And so much less expensive than I was going to pay. The ad says they're the right fit for the car and everything. What do you think? http:/...

Re: Need Quail Tickets?

Hey Tom:

Sorry you won't be attending - was kind of counting on continuing the fun from last month. Will hope to see you next year or sooner locally.

Re: Still looking for 250GT/E 4959

A shame. Looks like 4959 was a really nice example. Did the new owner say what the powerplant in the car is now? Will also be an Concorso, so can take a look then.

Re: Fred Petroske

Hate to be anal, but isn't it Petroske, with an "e"? Interesting guy - I've dealt with him a few times, so seeing hims operation via this thread has been a welcome peek behind the curtain.

Re: Re-Chrome Tail Light Housings?

Well, here's the thing about the pitting. These parts are good old pot metal. The pitting is caused by porosity in the castings. Mine on the cabriolet were pretty pitted, and I sent them to a gent who drills out the pits and them fills them with silver solder or something in the same vein, then re-c...
