  1. yes but I subframed so to get all the other goodies of the modern front suspension and braking along with the upgraded engines..HOwever I have the 41 here at the house...similar set up with stock frame, modern brakes/steering and 383 Mopar...
  2. I think Cliff went right over Norm's head....now here is your true rural delivery mailman...Crum Petree...who remembers him? As for Newman going to jail...
  3. I had the scare of a lifetime...thought I had Rhemutoid Arthrytis..(couple in family suffer from this)..I would hobble to work..this affected my work in a bad way..after getting all the test done and such..coming back negative etc...I started reading all I could on my symptons etc...finally read an article on how some people have a negative reaction to the acid. I had nothing to lose and everything to gain..quit the dark sodas...(root beer okay) I had been putting down a lot of cola over my life time. I even retired sooner than I wanted from the reserves as this was how much impact it had on my body...afraid they was going to kick me out without benefits after all the years I had in..If any of you have similar symtoms and such...highly recommend you give this a try..results in as early as 30 days..steadily getting better...my knee used to ache for no real known reason at least twice a month lasting 3-7 days of pure torture..it has been almost 3 years since then and no knee pain like before.
  4. Used to love the stuff...I am off dark soda now for over 3.5 years..have never felt better..my joints were killing me till read the reason why...it only took about 30 days to start improving...really have to overdo to get any joint/muscle pain...
  5. .....................................newman..................!!!!!!!!
  6. Reg...if using your stock wheels and just going for a wider stance then the term is spacer whereas the pattern of both the orignal mount and new mountsing bolts are the same ie: 5 x 4 1/2 by 5 x 4 1/2 and the answer would be yes...with a total wider track stance os 2.50 inches ctr to ctr The term adapter is for mis-matched hubs/wheels and though they are the same basic item..they adapt instead of just offset... NOt sure how much your adapter are from them but there a a number of companies truning these out today at a very good price of high quality material and for another term that may appy here and help for overeall best mount and such..will you spacers need to be hub concentric???? This is very important....
  7. Norm..got my butt lectured when I had one on my 41 Dodge truck...not worth the fuss in my book...
  8. I believe if you check the law..dummy or not the lens must be facing that way to prevent a ticket..While moving on highway...though I doubt they would write for a dummy light..is it worth the hassle of being pulled and having to prove the fact...
  9. Just how long have you been driving this car like that..4-5 does not sound out of the ordinary...question is, is neutral at 3??? but in all reality..don't fix anything that works..
  10. Sad to say..there are times and places where there is just not an easy way out..
  11. 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...
  12. girl back in SC became a real Klutz after her marriage...do a people search on Elmer Fudd through Yahoo...you will be surprised.
  13. 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...
  14. 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
  15. 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...
  16. 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
  17. 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...
  18. unplug the clutch..be sure the fan will power up...
  19. good thing their last name was not Head...
  20. 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.
  21. You would hae to ask Wendy that one Brad...
  22. Probably Don's great-great uncle...only one in the family that was hung...selling snake oil most likely..
  23. large family I understand..refered to as a bunch...only you Don..only you!!!
  24. 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...
