My wife and I ventured out to meet him at his in-laws house in Ventura and really had a great time talking to him and looking over his Deuce with ALL the work he has done to it. Wow. But the reason I post this is that he is working on...

    New Soy Oil as fuel

    M35A2 has some good questions and I thought I would bring this thread over here and ask a question of my own. I was in COSTCO yesterday and checked the 5 gal. containers of Soy and Vegetable Oil. Brand new Soy Oil is $14 and change (no tax as it is a food item). So, most of the threads deal...

    Fuel level in Tank during cold weather

    I think I read somewhere that you should keep the fuel level in the tank full at all times in cold weather to avoid water condensation in the tank. Is 2/3 full ok or still not a good idea? Just wondering since I can't drive the Deuce to fill it up (haven't had time to replace the leaking...

    Faster than ever!!

    Mike! Did you do something to the server or forum paramaters? The forum used to take awhile to load when opening (seemed like it would hang a lot) and I have Cable Broadband with 6 mbps download speed. Changing topics would seem to take time (like I was using dial up) and the PM section was...

    California Hot Rod M211

    A friend of mine just gave me some printouts of pictures a guy at his work took of a M211 at Hot August Nights (2005) in Reno.

    First, Am I seeing things? When going to a topic the little round circle at the left of the column that indicates new posts has 4 dots in the center at 3, 6 9, and 12 o'clock position. I have noticed that 1 or two of them, usually the one in the center of the list, has the center 4 dots...
