  1. I have a 8000lb quality lift (challenger). I roll outside when needed and with 10’ ceilings can still work under in my office chair. Brian
  2. I have scored a couple of the cable lift type from newer trucks and bolt into the crossmember. Crank up and down. Saves the eyes and body. Brian
  3. Welcome JE I’m over in Winchester KY got a few old Plymouth’s and Dodge. Lots of great friendly advice and opinions here. I never stop learning things. Brian
  4. I have a mustang 2 in my 40 pt105 they sell univeral front kits. You just have to trim to fit your frame then weld it up. The front crossmember has to come out. You have to fab radiator support and engine mounts. I like the heidts style which surrounds the frame better than fatmans Brian
  5. Got a few Mopars and a Chevelle. 33PD coupe, 31PA 2 door, 89W150. The Chevelle was my first car at 13, owned since 1983 Brian
  6. Finally got my 8” rims. Thinking about removing the clips for blasting and painting. What rivits to use to reinstall? Brian
  7. Uncles home built from 2 cabs with cummins
  8. I met Wray in Illinois through metalmeet.com , all those guys are very good and helpful to new guys. Yeah I got 4 fenders to make,2 kids to send to college and 9 vehicles to maintain + work. Brian
  9. Chris Looking good! I need to make fenders for my Plymouth pt105. I have the tools but not the time. Too many cars the wife says. I have met Wray and you are right. Master craftsman and all around great guy. Brian

    Dynamat

    I used lizardskin when it first came out. Stuff was amazing on sound and heat blocking. Then they separated sound deadner and heat insulation,the price is 4 times now. I found some Industrial stuff that is the same for a affordable price. It is used to insulate steam pipes, chilled water tanks and building roofs. Brian
  11. My wall cabinets from a vocational school with my layout. Drawers from my fathers filled with hardware.
  12. My wife bought me a lift which I love them both. Here is my home built power hammer for my sheet metal repairs
  13. I have ran a pair of Langdon's carbs on non mopar(gm) with adapters. I liked how they ran and had no problems. Will probably look into them for my 25" later on a homemade intake. If I remember they were on ford escort.
  14. Few of my projects

  15. I was wondering about the crank damper also. My industrial just has a hub with 2 pulleys, one wide and small narrow for the governor. Can I use it or need to find a dampener?
  16. Speedway motors sells rim shells, but I think 8" is the narrowest. I plan to get a couple and press my centers in to the backspace I want and weld them up. I already drilled the rivits out of a couple of bent rims. Brian
  17. I've done a Heidts (39 chevy truck) nice quality stuff. Progressive Automotive (33 PD coupe) nice also. Bought off ebay a universal from Gearhead (40 Plymouth truck) not as good. DO NOT buy from Gearhead. Took months to get and credit card company finally got it for me. Really helps ride,steering and braking.
  18. Dodge dakota 5 speed ax-15 is what I'm going to use.
  19. Andyd I think I will tear it down and see whats in there. You never know what has been done in 60 or so years. It's not like I need it tomorrow I don't even have mounts for engine or trans. Garbagestate Thanks for the heads up I knew the difference but too many days getting up at 3am clouds your thoughts. External I think Thanks guys
  20. Thanks for the info guys I will shop around. I was wondering about the "best gaskets " Thank you all Brian
  21. Ok thanks Don What about rear main gaskets? Where is best place to get gaskets? Napa or VPW Brian
  22. I am changing the front motor mount plate from industrial lower to car/truck floating. The pan must also be removed so I thought I would by a complete gasket kit. Are there any differences? It's 4 1/4 stroke with no numbers on the pad or casting dates.
  23. I measured the only bellhousing I have from a 48 Plymouth. Roughly 8" + 12" Don measured, so about 20" from the block to shifter. My trans with its own bellhousing measured 20" + adapter of .8" so about 21" I had no engine, bellhousing or pedals is the reason I went the route of the ax-15 Brian
  24. Its right at 21" from block to shifter including the adapter plate and about 24" from block to seat edge in my truck Im going to use the dakota 40/2040 seats Brian
