  1. you know what you say is rather much the truth. After I retired I was invited back for the cookout and other festivities. Softball was part of that....I got a decent hit when at bat and then the realization, I had forgot how to run....few seconds later I was off and running but it sure felt strange.
  2. at first I was thinking 29 degrees....good outing it appears.
  3. If my recollection is correct, the division bar is the same as the D24..
  4. nothing at all wrong with the build, roll your own, go with the tried and true....but answering the man in the manner he pointed out...BUDGET seems majority on the forums regardless view this as lowest amount of effort and money....same money with effort..save effort with money....define this first....
  5. I cannot recall an issue when I removed mine....am wondering if a PO may have used a sealer to retain these when fitting the seal and glass.
  6. go with the TRW rack and pinion, disc brakes kit you just saved 2 grand or better....If you wanted power why did you opt for this slug? And even if the slug has curb appeal, a little research prior could have gone a long way. I am of the thought if you gotta ask how, the water is too deep.
  7. I like seeing the rubber meets the roads mods put into place....
  8. not just the tires Los, read again, it has been points and condenser and oil filter.....pedigree of the old and tired is quite important to some.
  9. have to agree to term to visit uniroyal websire, they can have their site, I'm not that interested..
  10. Los, as Sniper stated, along 2000 they went to the 4 digit code to correctly identify week and year and negate the guessing at decade....
  11. most the door handles are affixed to the door exterior via two screws... My screws were stepped for the card thickness allowing the threads to end at the door shaft and just flush with the bottom of the card. Allowing you the choice of using if making new cards. I removed the allow cast handles and changed them to stainless steel units from another Mopar and CUT the shafts the proper length and then drilled and tapped them. You can alter this in any fashion that suits your build or whimsy.
  12. some maker pre 2000 used only the last three digits of the series of letters/numbers after the DOT.....they read the first two as week of the year and the last digit the year.....they did not identify the decade on the average as most cars currently/continuously driven would not likely have tires 10+ years of age was their reasoning.
  13. I'm more concerned about the missing lugnuts....
  14. its just a convertible, cut that sucker along the jugular.....prevent the slow death....lol
  15. Being realistic, even with me being retired and all that, I cannot evade, escape or deny daily life events so I will say there is no way I can or could build the car I did in 90 days.....
  16. I will say but one thing...the six is barely adequate for the job and less than for some applications like interstate running....the 4 banger is going to be such a disappointment. I know it is likely your choice because you already have it on hand to use. BUT the same work is involved basically on most swaps....I would recommend a more modern engine with a bend in the middle even over the dated and beloved /6. I kept mine Mopar..bent in the middle engine with all the modern features....you would not believe me when I said how cost effective this swap was. This car drives so sweet...and in the south, the AC is most welcome...5 speed floor shift
  17. KIDS HAVING FUN...!!!!!
  18. Maybe something like this? WWII willys MB ford GPW Rokon✅(A5987 X5) Tire Tube Valve Stem Protector QT5 jeep | eBay
  19. Well, nothing against anyone here and would hate for folks to think I am slighting them...but I am not in the used car parts selling arena. The few parts I let go usually go to Europe as they do not have yards and such to kick through with these cars sitting about although they still have access to e-bay which I call an equal playing field for the proactive. Granted our sources are drying up annually also. I have mailed parts to a number of countries but even today with the cost of shipping and the snotty nosed customs folks and so called clearing scam agents. You learn quick who is kicking tires and who is seriously looking also. Waaaaaaaaaaaay too many tire kickers these days. Even the swap meets are drying up...space fees, higher gate and often paid parking driving the customers away. If this coming swap meet is anything like the last two...it is my final bid to market a few items.
  20. some things actually work out for the best when reversed. I gleaned some attractive enclosed seat belts, 3 point for the current project. The center links lay low on the floor. As I am RHD and wanted to also incorporate a fasten seat belt light, courtesy a donor Volvo, flipping the center belts allowed them to lay just parallel with the seat cushions and raise to meet your stature. About to finish up the carpet and console install. I have surely put my sewing machine to the task here. Typical Brit lay in style carpet and next is securing them with snaps. There is zero back seat here and originally the rear panel never gets carpet. We having fun. Not many are into really tailoring their cars....I can so understand the purist aspect....but seems often they do not reciprocate in same manner to those that modify. Not all cars are suitable candidates for originality, and I purposely buy mine with engines missing etc. etc. so not to have regret to change.
  21. this is ideal Ed if you were....Wrongway Peachfuzz....cable, couple pullies and a pull handle...you be set up again...remember three rights is a left....
  22. per history on this forum, man joined and posted a parts request on open forum, no-no number one....he last signed in some 2 weeks later and would assume by then the part arrived and the forum was no longer needed as he has not signed in since July 26th OR pigeons ate his bread crumb trail back to this site. So sorry this guy flaked out on you. Trust, it's just a name on a bank.....
  23. good you making headway on the truck....I got so little done today running around looking for material to work with. My local stores it seems has cut back so much on items they used to stock...it's a crap shoot when you drive to shop. Got what I needed but had to go to 3 different stores.
  24. is this a one piece filter?
  25. it is a product with phosphoric acid, alcohol wetting agent and a chromium content I cannot speak for. As for the % of phosphoric, 20% I can get 55% with wetting agent for 15.00 a gallon and I know that stuff work like a champ and so easy to use. I have had good results with Rustoleum products but again, there are other products for good price if you shake the bushes.
