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.

Cheers

Simon

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.
