Yes we received it with a 42 insert. Nicholas liked the look so he kept it. Gents and ladies. Nicholas is getting focused on going to college. we move him in end of next week and he's not going to have his car the first semester (perhaps first year we will see how he hits the ground). I suspect he'll take an extended brake from the forum. I think he has one last post planned to close this specific thread out before he heads off. Thank you so much for all the advice and encouragement you provided him over the past three years.

Nicholas drove us (wife and I) to lunch today. The radio sounds pretty good. He's getting the hang of the three on the tree. The second video he's moving a little faster so it highlights the engine sound

Proud Dad Moment. This is a link to the local car show that came out to visit nicholas https://speedandshine.com/47-plymouth/

Nicholas had hoped to have the P15 ready to drive to graduation today. But just a bit shy of street legal still. Should be ready to drive to a few of his classmates graduation parties. Anyway he looks sharp in his graduation tux (the tradition at his school for graduation) and its a timeless look next to the P15.

Nicholas had visitors today. Mr. Sadler and his crew came out interview Nicholas for their show, Speed and Shine. Nicholas presented himself and his car pretty well. He gave a shoutout to the forum. Once we get a link to the segment they put together we'll share.

Yes. We've cut, torqued, squeezed, and stretched that body quite a bit over the past few years. The shop maint. manual shows the tech prying parts into alignment so I guess this is par for the course. On a happier note. My truck batteries ran down over night and guess whos car came to the rescue....

Hood Alignment. Nicholas and I are having trouble aligning the hood to the cowl. We can get it low enough but were having trouble getting the passenger side back far enough to close close the gap between the hood and cowl to an acceptable distance. Any tips or techniques anyone could share?

Hmmmmmmm. ?

Okay time for some really heavy proud parent time Nicholas is going to be a Nittany Lion. He was accepted to (and is going to) the Engineering College at Penn State, main campus, University Park I suspect you'll see him at the Hershey auto show a few times over the next few years.

Son, don't ever explain your jokes. Just process the miss and move on till the next opportunity

Bobby, Nicholas will end up with an extra rear bumper assembly. Everything except the tray that bridges the bumper to the body. Stay tuned for pics and info. I'll have him post it to classified over the holiday break unless there is charge for the listing. Not interested in paying to give something away. Chrome may not be a limited resource these days but it is more regulated, and expensive. Paint is probably slightly better for the environment, but please don't quote me on that as I'm not an expert.

Yes. We could walk on water, but we couldn't count. But we always came together with our brothers and sisters when it counted. I suspect when push comes to shove, the same is true today for all US Citizens. I've got your back when the shift hits the fan, because I know in that moment, you've got mine, even more so if you know the firing order of for the flathead four.

Was able to locate these clips from the technical archives. Very clean technique on U-turns, But left and right still fuzzy...

Happy Veterans Day and thank you for your service. Also one day belated Happy Birthday to my fellow Marines. The Commandant and Sargent Major posted a motivating message on the Marines.mil site. It worth the 8 minutes to watch it. https://cdn.dvidshub.net/media/video/2011/DOD_108050503/DOD_108050503-1280x720-2765k.mp4 Semper Fi

Okay, one photo is the finish line at Michigan International Speedway. I swear Nicholas is in the second shoot somewhere. We were not allowed on the course this year due to COVID. I kind of understand as there were over 160 runners, Multiply that by at least two parents, and add in siblings and friends and other team mates that did not run in the top seven and that would have been a packed tight finish area. Nicholas and his team didn't have their best race at states, but we were all pleased with the season they put in -- particularly as they didn't even know if they'd have a season earlier on.
