Nice. Looks like it came from the 1930s. I do love the smell of leather.

Flushing the brake lines, one of the bleed nipples snapped off
Did it happen when tightening or loosening?

Yes, there are uses for the stalks, but not in my "application".
As I was reading this, my wife is watching TV munching on cut up broccoli stocks. They are saved for that purpose for her.

Haven't watched the video yet but we try to avoid precut veggies. Many times there have been recalls on precut packaged vegs with different kinds of bacteria in them that can harm you plus they cost more.

Pretty sure that's a bot setting up a spam account.
So once they are set up they post ads?

Something I ran into recently on Amazon is 'fake' reviews. Not in the traditional sense of someone submitting a couple fake 5 star reviews, these products (windshield crack repair kits) had dozens or hundreds of reviews but I was fairly sure that they couldn't be that great. I started with reading the small percentage of one and two star, that's my go-to, and they were very believable. Some people post a 1 star because they couldn't make the thing work, or because it showed up damaged, etc. so I ignore those. Then I go to the 5 star and they're all raving about how great the carry bag is. Reminder, the product was a windshield repair kit.
I reported them and at a glance it appears that they've been removed.
I also do the same thing and have seen reviews for the wrong product.

If it is not worth it now, it will be. It's great that basically unused examples are around for the future.

I can't tell you how many times someone has bought something for their car that's supposed to fit because "they said it would online."
Sometimes that is all you have to go on, like this exhaust fits your make model and year. But Carlos's example is in a different league. Anyone that buys a exhaust shield for a Zero maybe needs the education of the experience.

Ohio man tied woman to chair
I heard the ratchet part was too close to the chair to be able to tie her down correctly. 😀

Ok, so you made a mistake, we can see your thought process, now let's move on to doing it right.
This is good stuff and makes life easier.

I saw a huge change with my bike plastic wrapped versus unwrapped. It was pretty easy to do, shit's cheap, and protects the bike.
You should have wrapped the front flat face of the car also as I bet it gets sand blasted over time.

You could swing past a welding shop with the trailer and ask. Sometimes you may be surprised what a good welder can do.

When I picked up the Zero, they tied it down for me. We talked about it a bit, as they ship bikes all the time and were strongly suggesting that I only tie to the front bars via a Canyon Dancer, nowhere else. (Or any front tie down point, but there are none on that bike without risk of rubbing.). They said that tie-downs pulling the rear suspension down create new problems, and you really only need the front. But that if I had large amounts of rear bounce, put one over the rear tire, like that thing. So it looks like exactly what they were thinking. I went 600 miles with just those front tie downs with no movement or issues. But I didn't have a rail type trailer, it had a bed so no risk if the back moves.
I used to over-tie bikes and probably made it worse.
Even if you don't make them very tight, I'm adding a backup strap/s in the rear. Of course that is without a front chock that tightens on the wheel. Never had one of those.

That thing would make you deaf in about two miles.

, but the new straps are already showing signs of damage.
Are they rubbing on something?

A while back while we were on this subject I bought some Nu-Salt to replace the regular stuff. It does NOT taste the same so I'm just trying to be sparse with the good stuff.

Old not so perfect vetts can be a money pit as compared to other cars. Read up before jumping in.

... Greenbrier huh? I guess I knew they existed, but I don't recall that model name.
Me either but then I didn't know that the early 60s Ford van was called a Falcon until I saw them mod one on TV.

So you have to get the metric panels? 🙂

I paid $7.50/4x8 of non-foil faced, and I'll have to cover it myself.
Would paint serve the same purpose as the plastic?

Before replacing, you should go ahead and try to remove it. PB Blaster, a little heat (not too much) sometimes it will come right out, other times TNT won't get it but it pays to try first.
LOL! I would love to watch you work on the underside of a 90s car in my area. You don't unscrew parts, you cut them and if you plan to replace one part you will have to replace all the parts attached to them.
