Where can I get some glue that is suitable for gluing a leather trim piece onto a leather panel? The original glue was clear and gummy.Local source would be nice -- if possible. Going to a show on Sunday, so I need something to tack up tomorrow. :) |

When I sound my horn (Fiamm electric) while holding the billet part of my steering wheel, I get a nice stimulating shock! This started yesterday. I replaced the horn 3 weeks ago. I looked at the horn, the 2 leads are still attached, of course, as it wo |

| 700R4 lockup control
|
|
My street rod came to me with the 700R4 lockup wire disconnected. My mechanic noted this, and he connected the wire. Then the car would not shift into 4th gear at all. So, it was disconnected. 4th gear is back, but I don't believe I have a lockup in 4 |

I drove 45 miles down to Charlotte Hall MD (from Fairfax VA) to attend the Southern Knights Coming Out show for 2008. I was able to meet and talk to Jim and Rosina Mothershead, so that was a real plus for me. I was a bit anxious about my car over the ro |

My rod needs engine and transmission bushings, as it has none. :( My local shop says polyurethane are needed and has made no mention of using rubber bushings. I have read that rubber bushings are prone to deteriorate pretty quickly, but that poly are |

My doors shut very easily, but if they are shut with too much force (easy to do), you hear the clang of steel and the rattle of fiberglass. Additionally, when I was out enjoying my springtime drive today, the doors rattled on several occasions. Very irr |

| temperature control for radiator fan
|

I found the temperature control (recently installed by my shop) for my radiator fan. The fan comes on at 170 degrees now, and I want to adjust it to turn on at 175, as it runs a fair amount after the car warms up (even in the winter) and the fan is prett |

It sold Friday for $65,000 plus the bidder's fee. I was surprised that it didn't go for more. Seems like a really solid deluxe car. Are street rod prices somewhat soft there at Barrett Jackson?rod info from the B-J website:468cid/500+hp Chevy big block |
