Ya I had big plans for LuLu this winter---just have to put it off till next year. I tell ya it could have been worse---the good Lord was was watching over me---we left the house about 2 in the morning and every light from 84th to 66th down France was green--none of them changed all the way to the hospital. We got a stint and we stopped the attack--now re-hab and a quad bypass later---we be good by April....see ya down the road......Lee

The latest----the "Kid" got the car home for the winter---I picked up the stainless trim that goes around the tailgate window-----sent to his shop (Merry Christmas) and I sent him a kit for the tailgate--seal,fuzzies,ect. On the side, I had a heart attack Thursday morning--made to the ER in time--they put in a stint and they sent me home today. 5-6 weeks of re-hab and back in for bypass---so be out of work for 3 months----so won`t be doing any big car stuff for awhile.Update on the "Kids" and LuLu later when they OK me for bigger things.................this is going to drive me nuts, just waiting for surgery and re-hab.......bummer......Lee

Thanks----my buddy helped do the cutting and setting it in---I did most of the welding and the "Kid" did the mud work---good help and a little luck it turned out nice---I`ll take it:D

Thanks Dez---like you said--it sure was rough for a Cali car----still 10 times better than anything I found in MN.....Lee

The "Kid" has been busy---he got the car wet sanded and buffed---the doors hung and tailgate---starting to look like a car again---goes to his place for the winter and won`t be back till he comes up with the front end parts. And a before shot...............Lee

Newport Engineering doesn`t have a listing for my 52 Windsor--any of the MoPar cousins have the same motor as LuLu ---then I could re-check there product line--I have reduced the voltage with a power resister and could stay with that if needed----but am into a re-wire and other upgrades--now is the time to change while I have so much room to work.....thanks.....Lee
-
More scraping higher up in the dash. Removed the radio,ash tray,heater and controls,CB and linkage for the cowl vent. Gives me more room to put in the Dynamat---move the new radio to stock position---put in new fuse panel and re-wire along with everything else:eek:
-
Some progress---got the rest of the floor scraped--I am going to leave it bare till I decide on different seats--some reinforcement on the floor-- got some oil canning from cutting the holes for the master and shifter hole---should have done this way back. Everything is up in the air on the engine change---it will all come together soon....Lee
-
Really like what you have in mind---anxious to watch the build....thanks......Lee
-
I will try and get as high as possible to eliminate as much noise as I can ---will show some pics when I get done--I will be doing some work under the dash---changing the heater core--moving the new radio into stock spot---installing a remote speaker for the CB...ect.

New idea for an old concept-easier way auto trans?
BeBop138 replied to 40P10touring sedan's topic in P15-D24 Forum
This is using the original front mount and bracket on the bottom of the adapter plate goes to the frame mounts----rear crossmember on the rear of tranny----the adapter plate will work with manual or automatic trannys. The 55 Chev had two front puck style and two mounts on the bellhousing---so many different ways I guess if they work thats all that counts. Of course this comes from the Department of Redundancy Department--lol:rolleyes:
