    ECI makes a front disc brake kit for the Chrysler spindles, they make the dual MC, and possibly rear disc brake kits too, as well a few others manufacture for 11 inch Chrysler spindles. As this Guy is looking to go with a modern R&P front clip, he may have a lot more options for brakes. I am with Tim, on the rear end, I may go with a more modern rear end at some point on my 47 Chrysler, especially if I ever go witha T5 trans, front disc brake conversion etc. I plan to keep the flat head, but may change trans,diff and front brakes...Fred

    I sent an email to Norm's Wife Mary, she is very touched by our condolences and concerns. She was worried about how she would let us all know here on P15 D24, and she was glad someone let us all know. She and Norm's family are in mourning, and of course very saddened, by Norm's sudden passsing, it almost seems surrreal. I at first thought this thread was a bad joke, Norm will definately be missed,and it will not be the same without him............Fred

    Hi John, looks like you folks are having great weather, and great Old Car Gettogethers. Here isa pic of my New years Day trek into my Hometown, I live 20 miles north of this city in the country. It was about -8 f today, very sunny, cold, and lots of traffic for a holiday. This City is one of the coldest big cities in the world.....Fred

    There was 10 yards of cloth purchased, and 4 yards of vinyl for the front and back seats, I also bought 4 yards of the same cloth for the door panels, package tray, sun visors too. I think, I will do the package tray in the grey vinyl, will give it an nice offset look to match front seat. No I did do this work myself, as previously stated, this Man, has commercial upholstery equipment, even though he does this on the side from his basement....Happy New Year

    Thanx everyone for the "thumbs up". Remember this was done by a sideline upholsterer, a guy who does it in his spare time, A Hutterite Guy, they are like Amish, but believe in and utilize the most modern of technology. He never worked as an upholsterer, but is self taught, he made the coverings in his basement shop....Fred

    Thanx David for the "thumbs up", this car was a real nightmare/wreck, when I got her, should have been melted down, very rough and incomplete. I have done 95% of the work on her, including body and paint, I have recieved 95% of my advice and guidance from this forum, from a number of members. Thsi car has been real low budget, looks that way to, but I did most of myslef at home, I was all I could afford...............LOL

    Hey Joel, Merry Christmas, all the best to you and your family. We have very little snow here, a lot more just to the south of us, the forecast is for 2 to 4 inches possibly over the next 24 hours, got about about 1 to 2 inches yesterday, the ground is barely covered. We northenr rural people need snow, something has to keep the septic field insulated.........LOL HOHOHO
