  1. Sad to say..there are times and places where there is just not an easy way out..
  2. Had not the tank in the other 41 I have been pristine..I would have gone with a new poly tank...the original is solid..been etched and sealed somewhere along the way..no leaks or anything like that...it's just that I don't care for that sealer. Cost wise..may be prudent to opt for a new tank...
  3. girl back in SC became a real Klutz after her marriage...do a people search on Elmer Fudd through Yahoo...you will be surprised.
  4. Shel..I went to one of them with couple of the motor heads here in this area..local pick an pull...seems his all you can carry was limited to one section of the yard and the bodies were so stripped by this time that it would be hard to get your entry fee back much less a volume of goodies in a bag...felt very ripped off..of course..could be just a local rip off...
  5. I just walked out to the barn to verify..my 1948 Plymouth sedan has an extremely solid body..rockers and floors included..(apples and oranges?) has a U-channel all around the trunk opening...as does both 41 Dodges, the 52 Plymouth and my 54 Plymouth...as you have residue medal in what appear spot welds...I would think your piece is MIA over the years of service..not uncommon..these areas are very prone to rust
  6. this may be apples and oranges as my car is a sedan bu the 1948 Plymouth I have here is extremely solid body..and the trunk is intact..there is a full U-channel for the weather strip....also full channel on the both sedan an Bz. Cp. model 19 Dodges, the 1952 Clup coupe and the 54 Savoy...
  7. Greg..any decent online junkyard can cross that tranny to every model carring it..but first they have to have a starting point I think...give them one model know for sure..should be in like Flynn
  8. I could only send you a picture of the ones on my 48 Plymouth if you think that this may be a good guide line for mounting, let me know...
  9. unplug the clutch..be sure the fan will power up...
  10. good thing their last name was not Head...
  11. never but never chage any AC system without the benefit of both Discharge and Suction gauges. Without the reading of both troubleshooting your system is just a guess...And this system could have a trinary switch..at best a binary switch and worse case a LP switch to prtect the system. If the pressure is too high it shold cycle the clutch..if not enough it will not cycle the clutch on..if you have a trinary switch it should trigger your fan relay which could be also routed through you on board computer. The system I think is orifice tube evap flood and therefore metered constant flow..the system could be pugged there. The orifice tube SUPPOSEDLY dictates that an accumulator in in the system and not so much a receiver dryer..rec/dryer is prior to the evap from the condensor..the accumulator is between the evap and compressor... You will really need to test both side of the system...as for leak..it should not have totally leaked over the winter unless you just parked the car...the molecues of the 134A is smaller and will leak at a faster rate I have read..cycling the system during winter keeps all seal lubed and less likely to pass gas...especially the front rotary seal on the compressor...most time if it by passed here there will be sign of refrigeration oil ..put in a minimum of 2 oz of recommend oil...Ester...it could very well run the season after the lube hit the dry o-rings without any more service.
  12. You would hae to ask Wendy that one Brad...
  13. Probably Don's great-great uncle...only one in the family that was hung...selling snake oil most likely..
  14. large family I understand..refered to as a bunch...only you Don..only you!!!
  15. Prepping the metal for plating is no different a concept than prepping your car for paint..it is merely a reflection of the base surface..it takes a special touch to feel the surface and even more important is that this should have been caught and corrected in the initial copper overlay...I had my plater in Virginia do some exceptional work on brass..steel etc..pot metal trim...not recommended..that my friend requires hours of detialing..that is what put this stuff over the top dollar wise. For those that like to feel their surface doing body work..want to amplify it..place a clean paper towel lighly between your hand and the surface...like turning up the volume on your stereo...
  16. nla
  17. Oh yeah..lots less wind resistance...
  18. HEY..YOU TALKING TO ME...!!!!!
  19. Just type in Sally Hill mirrors in your search..Yogi's is one that I remember listing them.....I think this is the site you lifted the prior posted picture when you told us that you were getting these from your in-law...
  20. Years ago while visiting Indiana and searching for Plymouth parts I was given this 1950 Dodge...deep in the woods..my buddy had to snag it out of there with a tractor..however it was all there..had been parked there and the tires removed and stored in the car..sitting on blocks. When I saw this car and looked it over there was a shedded snake skin..huge sucker to say the least. My bud told me later while driving it back on the trailer to his house to store for me he saw something whipping out int the driver side lane and fearful something would hit oncoming traffic he pulls over for what he said was the longest snake he had ever seen..I ased him what kind..he told me..BIG kind....by the way he had been in and out of the car and trunk retrieving wheels and such most that morning..
  21. Congrats...explains why Lisa knows how to make Marguaritas....
  22. thats true Brad...but they don't enjoy it though....
  23. Don...one thing for certain..you would not want to be near me if I: Wear color socks...and if I wear shoes and no socks... I be one of them people that have reactions to dyes...socks or shoes...must wear white...even after labor day...
