Hey Dave..how are things in Atlanta...you about to get the big butt on the road? Tim

Rodney...I have a collection of Rocky and Bulwinkle...moose spoken here (Moose 101 at Whatsamatta U.)...Bulwinkle gets pretty risque in his dialog...best part of this show..both kids and adults see humor...

Don, have never eaten armadillo, but worked with a lady from Texas that says that they had an annual roundup of armadillo and that they were excellent on the barby... As for the ground hog in the tree..I have never seen that but would not surprise me either as a hungry animal will to to extremes to find food. I got to see a number of groundhog while in WV couple weeks back..they tend to be a favorite animal with the varmint hunters...useless sport...I mean where is the sport even at 300 yards with a match loaded cartridge and Remmington 700 varmit rifle. I say arm the wood chucks...maybe they could thin the deer population...and by the way..I don't recommend you hitting an armadillo at speed with your car...they solid little chunks.

We get an occassional stray dog and it amazes me that as far out in the coutry there are not more. And for the record I don't throw things or shoot them with a BB gun..I usually just yell and they run. I have armadillo's digging holes in the yard, threated to shoot them but usually just stand still..they never look up..they come right up and walk on your feet if you stand still..that is when I stomp the ground and yell out..it is funny as can be to see them run..they be quick when they want to be. I have not been a fan of Champion plugs since about 1970...we stocked Champion plugs and at least 2 of 8 would go south aafter about one week or so into a new tune up..this recheck eat into the profit margin heavily...went with AC Delco and Motorcraft after that...The tree rats (squirrels) are carry off and eating every peach on my tree..it was pretty much loaded with peaches..oh well, its been dry, food is scare, guess they have to eat also. In my younger days it would be tree rat and rice time.

I have never seen these cars up close, I would have thought there would have been a cover of some sort, maybe canvas dyed to match the interior or carpet...being high line and with attention to the detail of the wood these cars got..would have thought the tire to be dressed also. Just inquiring...??

Yes, could we do that please....? In all seriousness, is there a cover of some sort?

It is always a good feeling when you get a job done...looks good...is there any kind of cover over the spare?

Champion spark plugs are ideal for throwing at stray dogs on your property.

Most people who opt for shaved doors and yet do not use the keyless entry has a remote switch somewhere hidden and of course the spring loaded popper so the door will completely unlatch when triggered. As this is triggered by a relay a switch can be very very small and can actually activated by a short rod through a not-so apparant hole along the fuzzy strip

Norm..the solenoids are not the problem...it is finding a remote multi-function keyless entry system to take full advantage of the shave aspect...Yes...my car is 12 volts..I have but one car running stock 6 volt system and that is the 54 Plymouth Savoy Club Coupe. HOw long that stays 6 volts depends upon how soon I install AC...

You got a cool car regardless of no AC....not everyone has a Suburban.... When I got it picture....used Microsoft Paint to eliminate the junkyard this shot was taken in..that be the reason for a few funky lines...

I have not seen this article but found the old rotary latches just to worn, and requiring too much pull and care not for cables..so went this route..quick and easy fix...stock inside handle still used... http://www430.pair.com/p15d24/mopar_forum/showthread.php?t=45

With all due respect, but that looks like a Plymouth (blue car) in other words it may have Dodge written on it but the body is pure Plymouth..thus the rubber you got will not work due to both design and size..the D24 is a larger seal than the P15 (Dodge D25 export) car. I base this on the upper and lower clips that join the two trim halves, absence of an overlapping Dodge style center divider that eliminates the clips and the style trim that is attached to the rubber and not the trim that attaches to the pinch weld common to the Dodge. Then again it could be I cannot see the pictures clearly.

It was my understanding that was one and the same only one is being middle man managed.

I was just quoting from my book..I do think Bob T. spoke of vacuum on his convertible...funny that the book does not mention vacuum at all. page 264 body section, para. 28. So went to my Motors manual Dodge 1940 vacuum 41-48 Electric 1949-52 and 55 Hydro Electric 1953-54 Electric Chrysler/DeSoto 1940 Vacuum 1941-48 Electric 1949-55 Hydro-electric Plymouth 1940-48 Vacuum 1940-50 Deluxe Electric 1949-50 Sp Dlx Hydrao Electric 1951-54 Electric 1955 Hydro-electric per 1955 Motors manual...has good description of vacuum operation and service. Lou..I think you have this book at home in your back room...check out general repair, power tops.

The P15 is an electric over hydraulic system..pump with forward/rev control, reservoir, operating switch with circuit breaker and the hydraulic cylinder. The later units were electro-mechanical with for/rev motor and twin cable drive out.

Even before you start the engine..I give you an A+ in your detail and artistic abilities. This will definitely turn a few heads at the local cruises.

the Honda CB1000 is a six cylinder bike with the carbs which are also 6 in mumber already mounted and synced on a single manifold with a single center throttle cable pull. Syncing these are not a problem and can be done without even being mounted to an engine...!

I see you have a lot to learn about pugs Pat..that is the distant stare seen just prior to a vicious attack...these dogs are natural born killers...bred for fighting... She is still pretty chipper dog...still plays like a pup and is just showing her 13 years of age..hearing is a bit less than it used to be. Wife says I spoiled that dog...but hey, don't she deserve her own banana split? (less chocolate syrup), pets are supposed to be rotten...

Lou..I have had excellent results using the sealing compound that helps keep my wood birning stove airtight..secret is letting it fully cure...was good seeing you yesterday...

I did not take offense to the pug remark as an owner of five pug bitches..however this one is looking for you..score to settle or something like that....

Tie rod boots are available through the HELP section at most parts houses... Wires needed, first positive cable goes to the forward most head bolt as this should be threaded for a bolt to go into..if not mount to a generator to block mounting bolt... Negative goes to the starter relay...other side to starter...you can then use a jumper wire to connect to the third small relay wire to input battery wire..relay must be grounded for this to work... Jumper battery to the coil...should be ready to start...
