  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    They also left a bunch of gas just in case in the future we used something different.:)
    How did they think the gas would last 50 years??

    I had seen this story and it was definitely a case of poor storage location. The whole idea was very cool,but we all know what happens when it is not high and dry. I have had simililiar problems just trying to keep some old engine block or part from deteriorating in a dry building,so a whole car would be a nightmare under those conditions. It would have held up better than that at the bottom of a lake without all the extra oxygen to help it rust.

    A funeral director must have been in charge...even in 1957, we knew better than to bury it like a casket.
