    crazy gas fix from years gone by.....


    I was working on a car last week and I looked at the gas tank I through the filler hole and with tank empty saw a light bulb at the bottom. I though great.. how am I getting that one out! I had to laugh and then looked closer and you can see the photos... I've seen lots of fixes but this one takes the cake!

    If it would have had wires to it it one would have been a bomb and two a lighted gas gauge!

        Looks like we need to start a farmer fix hall of fame, and that can be the first entry. Neat fix though!

          OK.. not sure who that is...? This one belongs to a fellow in Tulsa. Just about done and looked at the gas tank and the light bulb came on....well.. almost!

          It gave me a good laugh for sure. Have to get on here more. sorry for being AWOL!

            It must have been a 6V lite bulb or it wouldn't have worked in a stock Model A Ford!!!

            That is definately a new one. Strangest fix I have ever ran into was a draglink replaced with a piece of pipe with six wraps of #9 wire ran through the pipe around the pitman arm ball and spindle steering arm ball. Not sure I would have wanted to ride in that death trap. Based on the amount of wear on the wires it was driven that way for some time other than a get me home fix. Rod
