Thank you! Some places use their own part numbers or something, but this helps a lot!

Thank you, i think the vendor list and part number search will be a big help. I don't have any part numbers tho, is there a website I can get part numbers?

Thank you, that helps. I didn't think about the rubber. Maybe the door piece I can figure out, but not sure if i can do the windshield my self

Howdy, So battery is not charging. Amp gauge will flicker a little sometimes. Battery was dead for a year. So......do i just need to polarize the generator or something? Tried to research it but got confused. Thank you! 47 Plymouth special delux 6v pos ground

I've found one place to get parts, but any suggestions? I'll need back brake parts, interior redone and a few pieces of glass. So I'm thinking just one right windshield and a few right side windows. Will it look weird with new glass and old glass? Should i try and find used glass? I'm on a budget so trying not to replace all glass but open to it. 47 Plymouth special deluxe Thank you!

Most I'll ever drive it is a few miles for errands or a car show. Some day i make take it an hour drive to drive in movie, BUT I'd really need to trust it and it's a long way away. Plus the way movies are these days I may never see a new one, but every now and again they show old ones so who knows. Not sure how fast I'd go in this thing but probably not above 40 for a long time. So with the wheels i have now 6.00-16, what are my tire options please? Like what sizes should i ask for from tire shop. I want cheap as possible. $60 each would suit me fine. Unless you really think i need new wheels for safety/reliability. I do have all four hub caps. I'd take pics but it says file size too large Thank you!

No cutoff switch, thanks for the suggestion, should i get one? Update. It was hard to start and harder to restart after i kill it Now i fires right up even in 12*f weather! And even better i can start it right up again even if i kill it. Thank you for all the help! I put 2/0 cables on. Cleaned every connection real good. New nuts and washers. Moved the ground from the water outlet to the oil bath connection. The cables had the wrong colors but i think they are long enough so i just switched them. Full choke, one pump, hold it open a little. Then remove choke and set throttle pull to idle. Thank you for all your tips and suggestions!!

Well i got the 2/0, I'll put on tomorrow. Only thing is the guy putting it together got the colors all mixed up. Guess I'll spray paint them or something I dunno. Both cables are orange color but the bands on the end are wrong colors. Cost like $45 bucks and darn near took an hour

Now I wonder if I should get 0/0 haha Thanks, I'll get 1/0,battery store said they could make me some. Hopefully they ain't worth their weight in gold or something

I'm going to get some battery cables today. So 1/0 isn't overkill?

I'll see what i can find, I'll put the cheapest tires on the old wheels and see how it goes. Not sure if i want radial or bias ply but maybe bias ply is cheaper

So just find tubeless tires and rims for it? I was probably just going to have them put tires on rims for me so i wouldn't have to drive it up there, it still needs a lot of work. Hoping for affordable used rims. I'll have to decide what size i want. I prefer more tire than rim, don't want 20's or anything.

One of those videos mentioned sometimes people just use an 8v battery. I'll clean and replace a few cables and make sure the starter switch isn't the issue maybe. And then is there anything wrong with just putting in an 8v? Will it mess up amy gauges or anything?

My grampa might weld me one up. Any guides on that?

Watched the video thanks. Is that special adjustment tool expensive or rare?

Thank you!

Thanks. I'll try and find a manual

Good video, I'll check the cables So is my ground in the wrong place on the water outlet bolt and what oil should i use, i was told 30w Thank you

Thanks I'll watch those now! So for the first time i got it running and then shut it off and got it running again so that's a good sign. Throttle handle pull works so maybe I'll do some trial an error with that. I'd love to get the starter spinning fast so wonder if it just needs a beefy battery, I'll still clean all the connections and make sure wires are beefy. As of now the pos ground goes to the water outlet bolt, is that wrong and maybe why?

Howdy, So I'm going to replace the rear wheel cylinders and brake springs on my 47 Plymouth. Haven't opened it yet but my research indicates the drums are hard to remove. I'll loosen the castle nut and try to put on backwards and use a beefy drum puller and smack that thing to remove the drum. But i heard i can loosen nut a little and then drive in circles to break the drum loose, is this something I should try? Also when I did the front, one of the lower brake anchors just wouldnt go in enough to get the cotter pin in. Okay to tighten it real good and not worry about it or any ideas what the issue was? Also that same side was hard to get the drum back on an drags a bit, not sure why, okay to not worry? Also, i put the anchors in with arrows pointing toward the wheel cylinders, is that correct? Thank you for the help, I need to do this right so it's safe. If brakes go out should I just pull the brake lever and shut the engine off in gear? Should I just replace the master cylinder while I'm at it or not worry about it if it works. I want brakes to work as good as i can get them so everyone is safe. Thank you!

I just assumed 6v crank slow Starter is rebuilt. I'll check all the wires and give it an oil change and see if that helps 30w oil right? Is an old starter switch maybe why?

There is a linkage missing from what looks like the choke to the throttle, is that important? It did start this morning but it died and didn't want to start again, i asume i flooded it. I think I've noticed holding the pedal in a little helps it start. It does have a hand throttle pull but i think it's not hooked up. I'm wanting to figure all this out before i go on a drive cause I dont want to kill it and then not be able to start it again to get it home. Which seems to be the case. I can get it started but then i kill it and it won't start for a while.

Thanks I just went outside and tried to start it. Its 17*. Would a carb rebuild help it start or would switching to 12v? The 6v system sounds so weak. Rem................rem..............rem..

Hi, Pretty sure I have tube tires, but they are in really bad shape. Can I just put new tubes and tires on it or should I switch to tubeless tires? If a switch is needed does that mean I need new rims also? Tires say 6.00-16 Side note, the old tires have aggressive tread on the back, should I do that again?

If the engine temp is showing 160* do i even need the choke, even if it is freezing out?
