  1. She's looking very shinny. Did she get a wax job for Christmas?
  2. Ahh, my hometown. We do not get snow here in England, at least not where I live. I miss it sooo much! I remember that year it was as bad as in 65. When my wife came to Minneapolis MN from England in 1991 we had 27" of snowfall on October 31. They were ill equipped with warm weather gear and had to hibernate for a few days before they could get out to get some.
  3. A belated Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year to you all from the Yank in England!
  4. Yep thats correct. To the right of the shift lever is the hand brake. It is released by a button on the top Merry Christmas!
  5. Wow I use to be a neighbor of yours. I'm from Minnesota. Here in England, many people ask where Im from so I have them guess. In the 25 years I have been here, only 4 have said America. The rest say Canada. I even had a guy say he was really good at tracing accents and also guessed Canada. I usually respond with, "Have you ever heard of Winnipeg"? most have and then I tell them. I come from a little place just outside of there called, America". I look forward to your rebuild and Have a Merry Christmas!
  6. Welcome to the group. I am sure we are all interested in seeing your progression. Take lots of photos and let us know how you're getting on.
  7. Here is your wiring diagram
  8. then start checking your grounds and voltages
  9. Did you look at the commutator where the brushes ride and what do the brushes look like? Is the commutator brass color or black black and grooved.
  10. We've had a cold snap here in England for the last 2 weeks. Lows of 26 and highs of 32. Yes I know that's not cold at least not in Minnesota where I come from. So I wanted to see how my 37 Plymouth would start and it fired off first thing. We are suppose to have rain all next week so she is just going to have to sit a while longer
  11. Yep been there, had it done. When I was coming out of antiscia and still a bit groggy someone asked if I had any questions. I thought it was a silly thing to ask as I was still half asleep. So I said, "Yes, how many 'ds' in Happy Birthday"? He said "what"? as he leaned closer. I repeated my question. He said "1". I said no there aren't there are 26. He leaned even closer with a strange look on his face and I sang, dddddd,dddddd, He walked off never to return.
  12. Yep 3rd from the left is a 37. It also looks farther down the line there are a few 37. 12, 13, 14 look like 37s. As my car is
  13. Side note: When My Grandpa was in the Army in 1917-1919. He heard some officers talking about how they were going to move some wagons. My Grandpa being a farm boy, age 32 at that time jumped on the wagon and moved them. He was promoted to Wagner. The wagons he drove were what they called, "Honey Wagons" but had nothing to do with real honey but a yellow human liquid that we flush down the toilet. I hope thats not what your farm is all about. Your name just struck me funny and brought back memories of my Grandpa. ?
  14. I wondered that myself. 4 degrees or 8 degrees advanced
  15. I had a 1930 Ford model A Blind back. I did not do much research before buying it. (dumb me) After I found out I had a good body and frame and that the rest was junk. No front or back seat, fenders, transmission, rear end was stripped and the list goes on. I thought I would street-rod it. I had a 350 4 bolt main with a turbo 350 tranny. Unfortunately, I was unable to finish my project. What would I do differently.... My opinion is Chevy engines belong in Chevys, not Fords, Mopar engines belong in Mopars. Thats my 2 cents worth. BUT it is your car and you should build it as YOU want.
  16. Welcome to the group! There is a plethora of knowledge here to make use of.
  17. I think on my 37 Plymouth they must have changed the heater as I no longer have any way to get ventilation to the windshield. I just open the windshield up a little and that clears it. I don't know if you have that option on D24s.
  18. I hope you weren't trying to Kick the bucket and broke your leg instead.
  19. Beer?.... or maybe not!.... But if you broke down on the highway..... well maybe not just in case you get her going again. But then when you have reached your destination and you're all worn out...
  20. Ouch, that looks bad. What does the flywheel look like?
  21. When I was young I always wanted to own an old car. Usually, you only saw old people driving them. I wanted to be different. Well, it didn't work out that way and I was able to buy my car when I was 65 years old. Now I am one of those old people driving around in an old car and feel like a teenager doing it!
  22. or young enough?!?
  23. Diddo Sniper, If it ain't broke don't fix it!
  24. Here is my Glass Pack I believe it is from the late 60s to early 70s. The end of the exhaust is just behind the front seat. My wife loves the noise, I wish it were quieter.
