SimonTiki Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 Hi, I'm a newbie here. I joined on a Robin Weathersbee recommendation. I've recently purchased a1950 Dodge Wayfarer 2 door fastback sedan, and should take delivery of it soon. I'll sure I'll be on here a lot, as I will need plenty of advice.

meadowbrook Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Welcome, this is indeed one of the best forums I have ever been part of. I have a 1950 Meadowbrook, which is basically your car with 4 doors, so let me know of any issues. I have done the following with mine, since acquiring it for $1 3 years ago. - Replaced the 3 speed with an R7 overdrive (best modification I have ever done). - Replaced all brake lines, shoes and fuel lines. - Fixed the original AM tube radio and added an Ipod input jack. - Added a 6V tach. - Repaired the vaccum windscreen wipers. - Mounted radial tyres with white walls. - Reupholstered the front bench seat and recarpeted the interior - Added shoulder front seat belts. - Added a center high mounted brake light behind the rear window. - Maintained it as a 6 volt positive ground system. - Re- covered the engine compartment wiring with heat shrink or electrical tape. - Replaced the battery cables with new 0 gauge cloth covered reproductions. - Fixed the original clock. - Added a 12V inverter and a hidden socket to power GPS, cell phone, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonTiki Posted February 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Wow, that's a nice bit of work. The 12V sounds interesting, I didn't know you could do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pflaming Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 The Mopar "Mecca" is the April BBQ. Tim urges all owners of old Mopars to pay homage at least one time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
