So no brace were needed. The steel on these car were amazingly solid so, no damage on the rear fender occurred.
Quote from: Julien Abrahams on Today at 05:23:53 AMIn relation to this topic (not hijacking), I was wondering how long do your batteries last in general?
In my cars I get 10 years of life quite easily. The only thing I do is that I disconnect one battery lead when I park the car and reconnect it when I want to drive it.

Quote from: Jeff Rosansky CLC #28373 on Today at 09:07:27 AMThat always bothered me too. Our 55 has an electric and does the same thing. It seems to fill up more after longer drives. We tend to forget that they run off the fuel in the carb bowl, not the fuel filter. As long as there's gas in the carb, she'll run.
However, I admit, I did a lot of troubleshooting on it and finally gave up because it ran so well.
One test you can do is to pull the line at the tank and plug it. Then fill the line with mineral spirits at the pump side. Then pressurize the line with shop air. Any leaks in your hard line will show up that way. In my case it was bad under the clips. Small leaks won't show normally because the pump is sucking fuel. This test pressurizes the line and makes it easier to see.
