Looks good.

Thanks for the offer........I second Tim's thoughts.

Now you know why all those "collectible" cars get sent to the crusher....
-
Yes, the two seat coupe glass is a bit curved. I was able to have a glass company remove the rear window from the 49 coupe on which the tree fell. It was fortunately not damaged and came out OK. They are getting harder to find. Then, that same glass, stored in a box with padding, managed to remain in the attic area of the house after the tornado. So, it was lucky twice. Rear glass before car damaged.......

Mine was the natural metal finish...on the P15. I was in a patient mood one time, and went over it (several times) with Mother's Mag Wheel polish (white paste in the little jar). When done, it more resembled chome plating. The drawback is you need to re-do it from time to time in the future. I have also used Mothers on those dull metal oval clips on the firewall where cables come thru.....I just happen to like to do things to make it shiny under the hood.

You could possibly try some "stop leak" substance placed into the water of the radiator. But, that sometimes generates other additional problems.

Andy, if his grill trim has studs attached to it, some small nut like this one offered on ebay might work. (I think my P15 stainless has studs and nuts....been a while since I worked with it.) I looked on ebay under 1940 Chrysler.

This item is currently for sale on epay. Looks like something a person could make with a little grinding upon a socket. Just tossing it out here as an idea. Those nuts/rings are usually a nuisance to loosen up.

Hmmmm........guess I better check the lenses on my 05 Caravan. Seem OK so far. Worst thing it's done lately is eat two rebuilt alternators from O'Reillys. Now on the third one. Good thing I bought the one with lifetime guarantee. Of course, my favorite shop charges me $35 to remove old and replace with new. Someone suggested that I might get better long term results by taking one of those units to our local electrical shop and have them "rebuild it right". Don't know what they charge for that.
-
My first question would be---which model is it for?? Sedan or coupe??
-
As I recall....a new post will bring the old thread back to the top. Sometimes, if the old is far enough down the line, you might need to do a search for posts made by yourself to find it. So, even if it hasn't been read for a while, it's re-usable. Hope that helps.
-
I don't think a small leak like that would make the engine run hot. But---how much of that rusty, gunky ol crud may have accumulated in the water passages?? It might be time for a flush.
-
In house . Detached garage now being built. Been in San Antonio this week. Be interesting to see what's been done when we get back.
-
I think it's from a Henway.
-
Good ideee, Ed. I think the quality of most reprints is pretty decent nowadays.
-
Boy! Talk about a quick and positive response...... Hi Reg -- how're you all doing these days???
-
Don't forget, there is a classifieds section here on the forum, Various and sundry parts and/or vehicles are offered along. May not have anything you need, but is another place to look. I also check the classifieds on the HAMB - just put in "1947 Plymouth" or similar so it will bring up related stuff.
-
A lot of love for what---the Hemi?? They are cool and powerful, but I gather they may be expensive to work on. I had a '67 Plymouth company car with a 318, which was a good engine and withstood a certain amount of abuse from the operator. They are fairly tough.
-
The Wayfarer is a fair sized vehicle - about as long as the rest of the models.
-
Those owners manuals come up on ebay fairly regularly.
-
Welcome. Nice that the car is pretty complete. Was any of the stainless trim included with it? Do you plan to stay with a flathead six, or go to a V8? You might try using the forum search function for answers to basic type questions as they have been asked and answered often in the past. At the same time, feel free to join in and also send in some pictures as progress is made. Bob

By using "cut & paste" you can also lift pictures from many sources including ebay. Some sellers make their pics copy proof, but not many. Sometimes I bring those pics here in connection with some topic. Have also taken the pics and transferred then to my Photobucket album----usually when I find detailed, good quality shots of a P15 for sale. It takes a couple more steps than copying the address line. The below pic I just borrowed from an ad......
-
If you think the radio will get too warm---some air holes could surely be punched in the box. Some previous owner made a box from lightweight metal in the early 49 coupe I had. I think the glovebox is probably made from the same type cardboard as used for door panels. Might be able to find something suitable at a store like Hobby Lobby.

A good video........I like it.

Lots of old extinct tire brands out there.....occasionally one turns up. The matched set on the 54 Plymouth I bought 3 or 4 years ago was called "CountryPolitan" - which I suppose means they were good for driving in the city and/or country.
