My gosh, guess what I found out last week? Remember that damn voltage regulator junk I've been going through? Well, the guy who's been working on the car pulled out the Generator... now, get this, there was motor oil in the generator! Lots of it! At first, he said I'll need new brushes... then, the next day he told me that the field coils aren't salvageable... then, told me to pick the car up today... I then called him today and found out that it's going to need a new armature!!! Now, this guy is the best in the area, he's the guy most of the old car guys here go to for electrical... I know he's not giving me a song and dance... he called me up and asked me to come up and see the oil in the generator! I looked and sure enough, motor oil! Lots of it!!! How in the world did so much oil get into the Generator? I know I have a small oil leak but, how would that get into there? So, a free fix is now going to cost me the price of a freshly rebuilt generator! It only had two years on it... that isn't making me too happy! Any thoughts on how oil is getting into the generator? Thanks guys, =R=

Hey guys, this is something else! New site and it's not too bad so far, it's very much like the Fedora Lounge I hang out on from time to time... cool stuff! So, there I was sitting and thinking of something fun and funny to do... I thought that I'd open a myspace account for my car! So, Jenny the '46 P-15 is now on Myspace! It's a pretty Plymouth little page, has some music and cool photos to view... and a few blogs to read. Any how, if any of you guys want to check it out, feel free to follow this link to her page! And for those who have myspace accounts, please do send her a friend request will ya! http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=123347726 Keep'em on the road! =R=
