Plymouthy Adams

are those shadow of brush and bramble or a disguised safety chain attached to the chassis.....🤣 a certain other company today would depict this image by backing up to the edge of the precipice. (but I still think they use photoshop on the safety cable there also) yeah, just not that trusting in the actual event or portrayal thereof

and I thought calling them a dollar was the loonie part...I will go stand in the corner now, well, at least till the fresh pot of coffee finish perking.

what is impressive is not that the Dodge is transporting them but the manner they were stacked..stayed in place while some poor slob lashed the chains with the binders...secondly who was the poor soul tasked with the release of these binders.....

I am rater certain that is the 41 Georgia tag, I have a matched pair for the Coupe and another for a trailer.....

looks like a 41 Georgia tag, the US's first production reflective tag.

As an added fact, it was a Chrysler engineer that developed the oilite bearing....

that was one of the most popular brake boosters on the market and been around for decades on end....basically your Midland remote unit

as I see it, it is hydraulic over hydraulic.

I will not say something like this could be effective, I am saying something like this may not be practical.....there is a good reason this setup is not being used today....let you figure that one out....☺️

Posted 5 hours ago (edited) I have a 48 special deluxe club coupe, but I know very little about them really. First car was a 57 Dodge but been mostly GM products since then. I want to learn so feel free to EDUCATE ME! the thread does not mention Coker tires as the brand he is running

per my manual they do not list a 6.5x16 but a 6.0x16 was stock with early production. page 17 section 10 of front suspension

quit guessing, contact the tire company/online site visit and get the real deal. If you got the tires locally, check with them, they the ones standing behind your tires.

thank you......when growing up country as I did, I knew the location of three stills. I lived in the woods and crossing mountains on foot/pony cut out miles of highways and I was not supposed to be near the main roads on the pony. But for sure that is my fuel tank and the original tank is removed from the car and the dual exhaust is in place....no drop tanks here.....lol

this car does not have a back seat, it has a bulkhead instead. That is a zero emissions fuel tank that is totally paneled off from view....if there is an issue, you will get a check engine light to tell you if there is a leak in the system.

Need some later pictures to show the tool tray built into the unit for the jacking tools and the mentioned spare tire cover.

I am running 7" alloys and wider rubber for sure....will they fit the spare tire well..resounding NO.....do I care....another resounding NO the intent here is not to even have the original spare tire style or old rim in position. Instead my spare is the modern doughnut and I have sewn covers over the spare as it is so no one would ever be the wiser....and...as my axles are not stock but WIDER front and rear and the positive offsets are necessary....I fall so far out of stock in all realms...and I LOVE IT THAT WAY....I know it is just me and to be honest, if I had to leave it stock I would just as soon burn the car and move on to something else. I earn my dinosaur name for sure, Contrarisaurus In the above picture the spare tire well is removed...the tank positioned center of the pan and true dual exhaust is now easily added to the beast. With the P15 there is 22 gallons onboard and not a tank in sight.

heck of a model railroad if it gets you to Rome..!! Joking aside there is another fellow countryman of yours just outside of Augsburg but for the life of me cannot recall his name. I loved visiting Madurodam Miniature Park when in the Hague, I think my slides of the adventure there were taken by the ex in the divorce. I was scanning slides to digital format and have not found these. The many trains running in that park were amazing to me.

Unfortunately not all things are simple....human intervention is required and so are a few special tools, a clear area where the blue cloud can linger without offending.....and when it gets its worse.....lay down the tools and get a cup of coffee. Pic of cutting out a wheel well......and the fix I wanted for this particular build.

I had my bumper off completely and cleaned and painted the brackets and I do not recall the well being in the way to the point I could not do the task. The well does not just slip out of the trunk pan. Welded in place....

That has been my consensus for years....one supplier, multiple names/color of boxes.....on calipers, the main thing here on rebuilt or copies, ensure the surface for the copper sealing ring is milled correctly. So far I have done well with the OTC components.

been using hardener and the better reducers with Rustoleum since the 80's good stuff....just got to know what works with what is all.....ya did good!

yes, but not extremely active....

one thing I will add is that the local paint jobber is not going to be that willing to take the time to mix just a touch up amount of paint and even if he does, odds of finding one that is able to work comfortably with a color palette....not so easily found would be my guess. Feel your pain as you want to not have to lose an original finish and forced to recoat for hope of protecting the vehicle.

finding touch up paint for a formula that old is not going to happen...secondly if it did, the sun fading and chalking of the paint due to age and exposure will not at this time be as the original touch up paint and look like lipstick on a pig....this will have to be custom blended to get anywhere close to a match...washing out the pigment to reflect age and fattening to reflect loss of sheen.
