    Saw this cool woodie whilst riding my '51 Schwinn

    Nice Schwinn. Love the patina (aka rust) ?

     

    AFAIK Santa Cruz is famous for woodies. There is the Santa Cruz chapter of the National Woodies Club, the annual Woodies on the Wharf held in July, Woodies on the Beach (also in July), Woodies Cafe, and there is a man named Woody who has lived there all his life! Thanks for sharing and love the two  classics juxtaposed.

    I just put that 6 volt positive ground alternator on my truck when I had an on charging issue, which was probably the regulator. While I am trying to keep the truck most original, convenience won out. 

    Would that be the pedal shaft rubbing the floor board? That's where mine was coming from. A spray of silly cone fixed that. I was thinking of gluing onto the floor board opening some thick felt.

    Oooooh, long time no edit. Fast forward to January 2023! Got the rust off. All new glass.  Repainted the interior the original gray. Laid down foam backed aluminum insulation. Installed new headliner and kick panels that I purchased from Vic's Dodge Garage; before he retired. Put in the new floormat I had previously scored. Reupholstered the interior.

    Found a Mopar radio in the junk yard and with the help of a friend rebuilt it; new tubes etc. It actually works!

    While I love the "patina", I'm giving some serious thought to re-doing the bed and painting her black. This will have to wait since I'm currently traveling the country via RV and Roxanne is in storage.

    Curious what the shipping costs were, I'm 'just down the road' from you,

    looks like the attachment is not valid anymore?

     

    Awwww, dangit. I can't find that receipt. I remember Vic sent me a list of shippers and their costs then let me pick one. 

    Give Vic a call. He's a chatty helpful fellow.

  5. I don't suppose anybody has some good condition lower door seals laying about?

    How about DCM, are these the proper seals? I'd hate to buy them and find out they don't work, like happened when I bought the shift boot.
    Is it this: https://dcmclassics.com/home/640-rw-121-lower-door-seals-39-47-pw.html 

    Or is it this: https://dcmclassics.com/dust-seals-air-seals-weather-stripping/1211-rw-4855-ts-lower-door-tube-seal-48-55.html 

     

    I finally got the interior painted, some cheap sound deadening material added and am very excited to get her buttoned up and out on the road :)
