P15newbie Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 Hey guys! New to the forums!! Picked up a 47 Plymouth Business coupe from a friend a couple weeks ago as a bare shell, no motor/trans, no interior what so ever, and no title, go figure haha. Thankfully all the glass was there and good. So in addition I picked up a 1994 Jeep grand Cherokee. Was able to steal the 318 out of it with harness and ECU, gas tank and fuel pump which was perfect, The seats which fit great with little mods, both brake and gas pedal assembly with brake booster which all is going to fit perfect, and shifter assembly which will work. I also picked up a steering column from a early 90's Nissan frontier which was literally direct fit (I MEAN DIRECT FIT)and is going to match perfect with the cavalier steering rack I picked up. Next week I'll be picking up a rear end from a 98 explorer with disk and throwing that in. I also found a nice forum that explained a way to make the front caliper and rotor from the same explorer work with the original front hub on the Plymouth for my front disk conversion with the obvious need to fabricate a fairly simple but pecise bracket As far as wiring, well the magnums are pretty much standalone and just require my 12v and ignition along with the fuel pump which will just be on a separate power switch. I'll be getting a 2wd tranny out of a early 90s dakota and hoping that works well. Driveline.... Well thats beyond me Will be lowing the front and rear the old fashioned way.... For now... Well that's all I got so far Like I said, I'm new here and new to building cars in general so any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

BigDaddyO Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 Yeah, I haven't figured out how to do it either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worden18 Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 I keep trying to upload but it said they're too big Open up a Photobucket account (its free), transfer the pictures from your computer to Photobucket, then copy/paste them from Photobucket to here. Its pretty easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P15newbie Posted March 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 Thank you Open up a Photobucket account (its free), transfer the pictures from your computer to Photobucket, then copy/paste them from Photobucket to here.

_shel_ny Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 Make a copy of your photos. Use "paint" to reduce the copy to a size that you can post. Before posting, use preview to see if are too small, or overfill the screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_shel_ny Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 Nice thing with Photobucket is you can have a nice big pic. One thing to remember with posting a link to your Photobucket pic is that if you move the pic in the album it will no longer work from here as you would like it to. Not that it matters, but as a rule in general, I do not click on links if it can be avoided. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Coatney Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 Also when using Photobucket to post pictures on the forum use the (img) code not the direct link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobT-47P15 Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 You can load pics to Photobucket direct from the photo card of your camera....don't have to put them on the computer first. It may take a little practice, but if I can do it, anybody can. You can make sub albums to organize pics by different areas of the car--- motor, interior, etc. Will make it easier to find things later. Where do you live? There are friendly and helpful members all over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrwrstory Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 (edited) Neat project! Anxious to see pics Open up a Photobucket account (its free), transfer the pictures from your computer to Photobucket, then copy/paste them from Photobucket to here. Its pretty easy. Photobucket also allows you to "edit" reduce the image size. They recommend 800 pix width which is a nice size pic for posting and saves storage space.

rb1949 Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 Reduce your camera photos by at least 50%. I switched to Picture Trail for on line storage. And as stated, use the "IMG" link to put the photo directly in your post. No clicking links. Next time you're doing a post, look down in the right hand corner. "More Reply Options". Click it. That screen will allow you to "ATTACH" a photo right in the post, from your computer. Simple. Either way gets the job done. Good luck.

Pez Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 Interested in your Frontier and Cavy steering system. Post info when you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casper50 Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 Looks pretty straight. First thing I'd do is get a title. Not much use fixing it up and you can't get it titled. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
