Will be a classic some day.
Ran when last parked.
Used to be like new.
I find it so humorous, reading "For Sale" descriptions.
Hasn't been started since last time it ran.
Ran when parked.
Ran like a top last time I drove it. I'm thinking he must have been on ice to do that.? lol
Easy fix, I just don't have time.
Surface rust, paint is just bubbling a little bit.

Do it yourself Mechanics or Front Room Mechanics
Mechanical repairs just should not be performed in the front room of your house. I have heard of people doing this sort of thing from time to time. Normally because it is just too cold out in the garage. When I lived in Anchorage, I would drive past a house that had an airplane restoration being performed inside. Naturally when the project was completed, the wall would have had to be torn out, in order to get the plane out.
Here in this article below are a couple tips on what not to do if you feel a need to perform mechanical restoration in your front room.

RAT ROD RAT HOLE
Rat Rods can be fun and humorous. Getting a little carried away sometimes with the ridiculous is not uncommon either, but this one made me chuckle. I had to stop and take a picture with my phone camera.
This Rat Rod was at this year's Shake The Shack rockabilly ball, car, hot rod and motorcycle show at the Shanty Tavern in Seattle.
Normally when you talk about a rat hole, you are referring to cash you have put away in your rat hole account. It's not a good idea to put it in an actual rat hole cause the rats will likely shred it for you. It's just a figure of speech.
There was a good showing of street rods, hot rods, rat rods, vintage cars and trucks, and a lot of nice motorcycles. I don't normally burn my tires on my 1937 Chevy Truck, but the mood was right when I left the show that day. It's sometimes kinda fun to hear that six cylinder, dual exhaust cackle along with the sound of the squealing tires.

Classic Car Tire Repair Original Ad
Tire repair was easy with So-Lo. Just spread it on with your butter knife.
Tire failure was common in the early years. This was the land of opportunity too, so you could make and market just about anything, as is obvious in this other example of the Glare Shields for Blinding Headlights.
I really don't think you'd want to patch a tire like this and drive any distance or at any speed although, you might be able to limp along to the next repair station if you didn't have far to go. This added goop might just save the inner tube from getting punctured.

Model T Parts and Service in 1928
In 1928 Model T service and parts were quite reasonable as you will see by reading the letter, mailed out to a gentleman by postcard. Note the price of postage. A whopping 1 cent.
Vintage Chevrolet Truck Accessories
In Astoria, Oregon I spotted a vintage 1953 Chevrolet Truck. Shortly thereafter a mother and her four daughters showed up. The mother was photographing her daughters on the 1953 Chevrolet Truck. I saw an opportunity to show how the right accessories can really dress up this vintage Chevrolet. I offered to take a picture of the mother standing with her daughters in exchange for getting some pictures of my own to post here on my blog.
Billetproof Car Show Featuring Elvis
As we were checking out the cars at the Billetproof show in Centralia, Washington this last weekend we come across an old Ford with Elvis sitting behind the wheel. I struck up a conversation with him and had my camera rolling to record it.
Elvis seemed a little out of it, and I guess it may have been because there wasn't much to him, physically that is. He was chopped off from the chest down, and was blocked up with a box. He could have said something about feeling like some of those chopped cars, but I didn't catch anything to that effect on video. He did however seem to respond to some of my comments, as if Elvis lives. LOL
