I have one of each. My huffy Rail is unrestored 1969 with the city sticker. Also have a 1970 stingray in parts. I http://i329.photobucket.com/albums/l.../HuffyRail.jpgwill get a photo of my 1969 w/5speed. Do have a good restorer that you could recomend? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/scholar.gif Huffy Rail Rider

[/ QUOTE ] Hear my unrestored Huffy Rail Bike

You mean the City Slicker? Was that the neat extra shifter handle that activated the rear brake to leave a big black patch of rubber on the street?

I restored mine myself. There are rather easy to do. I used a wire brush and drill to strip the frame. The main expense was rechroming and polishing the stainless. As for paint, it turned out that when the paint store did the photo analysis of the color, it was a dead on match for 1970 International Truck Schoolbus Yellow. I had them make it up into individual spray cans since I don't have a spray gun or compressor. There are a lot of people reproducing the decals and graphics for these bikes. But remember before removing or disassembling anything, always take a ton of photos, especially of any graphics. Place a ruler next to the decals in the photo - so you can blow the photo back up to the right size if you're having a decal maker reproduce them for you.

Let's see the bike! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Frank, do the Huffy's have a single color or does it fade from one color to another like the photo above?

(Huffys were cool, my little brother had one)

------Im struck by the fact that the owners of the two Camaros we are talking about are not only NOT arguing about which car is best but seem to genuinely like the others car. Others who dont have a car on the list seem more inclined to place one over the other. Get over it,,,They are all great and I believe that all the owners are ecstatic over just being on the list. We should just be happy for them all, and reflect on how awesome it is that our forum has sooooo many contenders!!!!!.......Bill S

Note to Steve and Frank: Type your posts in MS Word so that the spell check can fix any mistakes you might make. In addition, use the grammar check as well. Then you can cut and paste without worries. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/scholar.gif
As somebody with a degree in English, let me tell you that both of you would be in detention. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif I have learned to control my anger at the improper uses of "hear" instead of "here", and "there" when "their" is what you mean. Also, learn the differance between "then" and "than". https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/mad.gif
Steve, we have had this talk before. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif

"Well Mr Know-it-All L88Vetter Moumty Hear a PhoTo of my 1969 ZL1".
Frank, I will be the first to admit that my typing skills suck, but please, try to do a little proof reading first. I'm certain that you don't talk the way you type. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif

Andy, I work at a large law firm in NYC and you'd be amazed at what I see. There are quite a few people around here who think they are incredibly intelligent (they prove this by being condescending towards pretty much everyone), yet literally do not know the difference between "your" and "you're." I can't tell you how many e-mails I've received containing a sentence as such: "Your wrong. The correct way...." It's unbelievable.

With that said, back to the cars...! Although I think they're all incredible, it's down to the black Nova and the sleeper '69 F85 for me, I believe.

Frank, my bike was in much worse shape than that. All of the rusty areas look to be on the stainless metal - the chain guard, sprockets, mud guards, spokes, rims, etc. Just using 0000 grade steel wool polishes that stuff right off. Use a little chrome polish with the steel wool and you would be amazed at the results. I would just degrease and keep the purple frame as is. It looks fine. As for the seat, I have seen repro seats in that style on various websites, like ebay. Nice bike!

Now, to get completely segwayed into off-topic oblivion - My pet peeve is the mispronunciation of "height" as highth. Whenever I hear that on any one of those Speed TV tech shows, my hackles go up.

Here's an easy test: https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/scholar.gif

Interrogation Question 1: When you enter a room and it's dark, what do you turn on?

Answer: The light

Interrogation Question 2: If you are not wrong you are?

Answer: Right

Interrogation Question 3: When you go the doctor and he measures how tall you are, he measures your?

Answer: Height

Ok, enough of my inane ramblings. Everyone can now go back to misspelling and mispronouncing their postings as officially dictated by their individual, regional dialects.

Re: Hemmings Muscle Machines Musclecar of the Year
 

So far it is all fun but on a more sensitive note. Some people just don't spell correctly but I would hate for them to not want to post because of people getting on them about their spelling. Everyone is welcome to post even if you can't spell.

I don't know how much "pedigree" is involved with the selection, but it has been the most discussed/debated car (with the most notoreity/attention) of the last year.
