It is now December, I will likely this evening retrieve from storage the Christmas stuff my wife likes to display. Let the festivities begin....! Call me old fashion but I am one of the few it seems that will take the time and cough up postage for Christmas cards.....this is an age old tradition that I will not break...

I could get joyous a bit IF those that celebrated Christmas WOULD wait (as you did) to open the season after the Thanksgiving holiday....but Christmas is on sale in all stores it seems long before Halloween candy is offered for sale....which by the way is now being pushed way ahead of that tradition. Early Halloween candy sales is pushed as it has been found that the purchasers will consume this candy ahead of the holiday and will need to go out and resupply.....not disgruntled, just disappointed.

was thinking you meant 32nds....but my math is as laborious at time also....I don't need a thermometer or numbers on the dang thing to tell me it is cold outside right now....

if 3/8 was large...11/16 is off the chart......

not so sure about other folks coupes...both of mine had only have the forward bulkhead and package as the finishing touches on enclosure with the Dodge having the locking fitted cubby behind the passenger side of the seat and the drivers side got the curtain that was held with snaps and finished package tray that hid the spare tire from view. The Plymouth has the exposed fitted spare tire finished bulkhead and package tray. It has been finished by me to have a fitted inside the trunk bulkhead and side panels due to the zero emissions fuel system and hidden stereo. Jack is hidden behind the spare and the tools are fitted in a tray that finished the inside lower bulkhead. The spare is fitted with a sewn cover as is the floor fitted with matching vinyl to the panels after sewing a hem around the dges. Many complete these to complement their build and actual purpose.

awoke early this morning to a downpour of rain...combined driving of 10.5 hours yesterday to travel to the military academy the grandson attends, he got his ring in ceremony and then the parade and he is with me for 5 weeks winter break. Is good, not seen the lad for many years as they lived in the UK and then the left coast. Mums is already busy in the kitchen, I like Dan, am sipping fresh pot of coffee and likely will start the build of a military shadow box for my deceased brother in law, got the last items day before yesterday. Be good to get the layout completed. So a wonderful Thanksgiving to all here....and Happy Birthday to ME!

the 41 Dodge and (big sisters) BC has 5'8" of room front to back..sleep diagonally, may folks can use these as campers.....lol keep in mind, the front bulkhead has space for the spare tire and separate locking compartment for documents.

nah, folks were afraid to sit close to someone back in the day....with bucket seats in my 48 business couple....there is no option for closeness.....(by purpose) lol

Adding Front Sway Bar to 1950 Plymouth
Plymouthy Adams replied to 50CoupeMan's topic in P15-D24 Forum
maybe I did misread, the WILL THIS is in question form and I had thought you had left off the picture......many folks here have little to no X brand part specs... -
neither was I Merle, and like you, first thing my mind said was a misnomer for Rustyhope.....I stand with and behind Charlie (olddaddy) and his products and admit he has been a friend for many years. Few folks have had issue, very few but to my knowledge none have been left without guidance after the sale, I know, I have been consulted on one or two of these transactions.

well, selling cars is their BUSINESS

Merle, I thought the same but search show said company as listed.

Slant six engine into 53 b/4 dodge pickup
Plymouthy Adams replied to Pastor sam's topic in Mopar Flathead Truck Forum
why go from one outdated system to yet another outdated system...for the work involved, one would think it be better to come a few years forward yet and get a system sustainable for a few more years to come. -
probably get further along if you get the cell phone out of the one guy's ear.......lol Shame you not building it yourself, understand the time constraints and such...but man to me, that is a lot of fun erecting your own building.
-
first get your schematic for the year and model, your test meter and troubleshoot the problem......with wiring askew it would be impossible for anyone here to state your problem with certainty. Can you by-pass points of contact, make other changes...of course you can, but unless you annotate these running changes on a drawing for prosperity, you should not.

many companies, Vintage Glass for one, will offer you a complete glazing package at a good cost. Usually at larger swap meets these companies will give you a bit more discount as they are in place and dealing volume sales. Buy a pane here or there will eat your wallet and your brain.

original, original second hand, hand cut safety glass from NAG patterns or even tinted and tempered glass....your choice....all do the same thing....only you have to be happy with it.

to new an engine........they ban what they don't understand I would guess.....NOT TRUE but they do have a cut off date...

the manner the fuzzies attach to the door,,,,only need to rivet the lock tab onto the one that fastens lower rear channel inside the door....at the top, there are two clips use just to prevent sag. The front is a different rubber, cut a tad long each end and cut to bend over the channel and lock in place....that is it...nothing else. NOW the glass anti rattle strip, they are easily affixed with other style clips readily available but to the tune of slight drilling of the original v-clip holes. but is so easy to do....snap in place, snap out if needed if you have to service the glass or regulator. To rivet the anti rattles would be a pain I would think to work later if needed.

Optima Battery installation
Plymouthy Adams replied to dgrinnan's topic in Mopar Flathead Truck Forum
will point not confirm...confirm with an amp meter in series....if very low draw use milliamp scale......quit guessing and get it right. Odds are you may well have a voltage drop or bad rear bush in the starter...these will seriously impair a system and or drain a battery flat in short order. Again, easy tests to do and KNOW not GUESS -
Call restoration specialties or be sure you have at least looked at their online catalog....fuzzies are so easy to pick out by dimension and application..ie rigid versus flex. These are about as simple as it can get...with the divider post being your challenge. IF you call them about now likely the techs are out on the car swap meet circuit but they should on request give you the contact number for them in the field. These folks have all but bent over backwards for every customer with a question.

for the most part these older Mopar doors have a fuzzy and as Brit term Bailey rubber that is the channel for the glass to ride and prevent rattle and scoring of the glass edge. Whereas the mopar fuzzy has a riveted clip that locks the fuzzy onto the frame via a clip at the doors rear and will come out and up and around to the division post where a couple of metal clips will attach to the fuzzy and in turn will slip into slots at the top of door metal opening. This will prevent the fuzzy from falling down as the door bezel with retain the fuzzy itself. The lower forward channel that is below grade of the window opening has a different fuzzy to fit that channel that will be longer than the metal channel it will affix on either end so the one side and back of the fuzzy will be cut so the fuzzy will fold over and lock into place each end. Now that leaves the division bar to be addressed with its own L shaped fuzzy that NO ONE MAKES A QUALITY piece that works and one is often left to their own devices to fabricate. Don't believe the lies the seller has for MINE FIT....it is BS....I made my own and it was not fun....first off, you must be able the make your own metal L to affix flocking onto....then you must come up with your own flocking or method to harvest and transfer flocking. I will leave you on your own for this.....and you can use that what is supplied but it WILL NOT fasten as per factory...
