The nice thing about the two piece is that, even if you have a seeper/leaker, it can be replaced in the car without removing the transmission.

Good advice above! FWIW, we're also with an EJ advisor. Dave Ramsey says it best: "Live like no one else so you can live like no one else."

Many years ago, I was searching for a readily-available replacement for that hose but it had to look like the original and I found that NAPA #1055 with bar code 29769302675 had everything but the white stripe. It came in a long length and, as I recall, it only requires a 3 inch piece so I still have a foot or so left. Send me a PM if you want me to cut you off a length....or you may be able to find it locally.

Although not Shelby related, Bob Tullius was certainly one of the greats and the stats in his obituary justifies that claim:

To the OP: If you can remember the insurance company you used., they would have a record of the VIN

Location? Flat, haybales...Airport course like Courtland, Alabama... Ah, the good old days!

I solved that problem by purchasing a Featherlite. I should've done it the first time.

Bill Collins and I remember CJ's when they were operating out of a shed and a barn just outside of Harrisburg back in the late '80's early '90's. These were the days before AMK so I used to go out and pick through nuts, bolts and small hardware to clean up and refinish. Ah, "the good old days".

Nice going, Brian! Thanks for another great calendar.

I can attest that Shell 93 OCTANE non-ETHANOL with the prescribed dose of STABIL will last for up to two years. On cars that are not driven enough to keep fresh gas in them, I drain the tanks every two years and put that gas in my newer, frequently used vehicles with no adverse effect.

To minimize the possibility of surface rust forming on exhaust pipes, after they cool down I spray WD40 on a paper towel and wipe them down. (Having a garage with low humidity helps)

While the housing is the correct part, over the years, due to age, breaking, etc., the actual mirror may have been replaced.

Scott-Sending you a PM.
