The yellow 1949 Chevrolet Car on the front of the building is the real thing. The original headlights still work as do the original park lights. The original horn also works, and is controlled by a push button under the counter. Come by for a visit and you can honk the car horn yourself.
Dear Randy,
Thanks for sending me the relay, oil seal, and kick down switch for my overdrive. I would not think about tackling the overdrive unit on my 1950 flathead without reading your Overdrive Book first. You made everything simple and easy to understand.

 "Finally a book that explains how a vintage cooling system works in
language the average guy can understand.
If you have a Flathead Ford or Mercury this is a must have book. The
tech tips and how-to information will help you easily identify and solve most any cooling system problem. I
solved my overheating problems with what I learned from this book. It is well worth the fifteen bucks, you will get your money's worth.

H i Randy,
I ordered and received your Official 12-volt Conversion Guide along with a copy of The Alternator Gazette. This is great info and good reading, easy to understand. I had to let you know that I am Impressed. Thanks again for all of your help.

Randy,
I bought your 12-Volt Conversion Guide and love it. I have a '55 Studebaker Commander that I plan to upgrade to 12-volts soon. I really appreciate your "common sense" style of writing and the way you explain things, so even a regular guy like me can understand! Thanks!

How nice of you to say ...
Dear Randy,
 Last year (2007) we did the Peking-to-Paris motor challenge with our 1950 6-cyl. Plymouth, equipped with your famous 6V alternator. During more than 10.000 very hard miles through the Gobi desert and Siberia/Russia we had no problems with your equipment - thank you!
For the next long distance rally we plan to restore a 1951 Cadillac Series 62 Sedan that we want to convert to 12V. We will be contacting you for the 12-volt conversion parts we need.
Best greetings from Switzerland,
Hans
Randy,
I picked up my 53 Pontiac yesterday. The mechanic who installed your alternator conversion kit told me at the outset that the ONLY improvement would be brighter lights. When I picked my car up he told me that the car was charging at idle
with lights on and radio going. He was impressed. I told you the reason I made the change was the car was hard starting, it usually would not start after short and long drives when the engine was warm. Yesterday the car started at every stop. Your alternator exceeded my expectations and those of my mechanic.

The new alternator came this morning. You have to love the Post Office - 2 days from you to me, UPS takes 7 days! Anyway, put it in, hooked up the new DA plug, turned the key AND bright headlights!!!! This is awesome! Thanks!!! John
