Dentist My very fine dentist, Linda Gentry, gave me the rearview mirror.

E-Type Restoration Here is how I restored one of my E-type machines.

Another Connie Disaster It is so sad to see a Connie go up in smoke. Did yours have 3 tails?

Ahh the answer. What I do is throw away the hoses, bags and motors, cut them up, accessorize them with found objects and repaint them and then they are good for any environment. But, maybe that is not what you had in mind (smile). http://www.goodfirm.com/marksart

What Electrolux? What model Lux are you looking for?

Collections Years ago, I represented the administrator of an estate of a collector. The place was a stuffed mess (I am working on such an estate now). Anyway, in a garage we found a stack of something - plywood? But there were closed spaces in between the sheets. It turned out that they were 4'...

Space Cargo Barge I think Dave's comment that it might lend itself to a Star Warsesque Space Cargo Barge is spot on. We could use the bag cover bubble area as the command cockpit, etc. And that aluminum cuts like butter. Fun, fun, fun.

Ahhhhh the Comet I would enjoy picking one of those up and putting it out if its misery.

Dave's Owl Dave, noticed the taxidermy in your photo. Today we are having an auction with respect to an estate of a deceased taxidermist. Thought you might get a kick out of these pics. (see the link)...

How much Time? Best guess is 6 to 8 hours.

Restoration Pete, Keep us apprised of your restoration efforts. This one was in a wet dirt floor cellar when I found it - all nasty and corroded. But, as you can see, it shined up just fine.

Smile Pete, check out my latest purchase at thread #14265 on the Imperial (vintage) section of Automaticwasher.org Should I cannibalize it? See you there.

Pics, please John, It is an absolute must that we need to see pictures. Good pics where we can see all of the tools, etc. Probably 90% of the vacs purchased were purchased for less than $25. With decent pics, there a couple of fellas that might give you a range to answer, at least, the...

The Big O Hmmmmmm. So, Pete, what do you think it is worth - you know, an estimate? $10k seems outrageous.

Remove Link? Charles~Richard is right, looks like a derelict gathering porn spam. What do you think about removing the link?

Lockheed L-649 When I saw the title of this thread, I was certain that Airway Charlie would tell us about greasing bearings on the Lockheed L-649 Constellation. Note: The L-749 (I think) became a C-121 for military purposes and the RC-121 was used for aerial surveillance through the 60's. The...

Wow! I mean, wow!

Impressed Rick, Nice work. Have you ever thought of using your talents to move beyond restoration and trying a little customization? What I like about this old sheet metal is that you can have the same fun and creativity my brother and I had in the body shop in the 60's working on cars except...

Unavailable for your Questions Ref. Post #16806, I will be out of the loop for a time but will answer all you posts when I again have access. Anyway, BACK TO THE TOP! Oops, wrong thread, Sorry, Charlie (smile).

Goggles on forehead - Maniacal Bud Cort grin.... Nice, Reggie. What I could do with that machine. Do you mind telling us how you came to own such a fine piece of iron?
