Always though that 49-50 dash was well done. It's one of the things I'm glad my parts car has intact.

Do you have any of these in YOUR toolbox??? http://collectingsnapon.com/Site/CatalogD-762.html Some neat old make/job specific tools.

That window set-up and roofline seem different than any Rambler American 2 door wagon I've seen before. Nice wagon, in a homely type way

Drivers around here wouldn't be stopped by anything not on that car

Rims for 2 ton pilot house; an idea
PatS.... replied to alanhaley's topic in Mopar Flathead Truck Forum
According to a local big rig tire dealer, there are new 6X7.25 non-split rims available. I was looking for my '46 Fargo but it has moved on to my nephew and I didn't pursue the rims. Might be worth checking out. I would be leery of welded up wheels myself. On my '62 Dodge, which has oddball split rims, I found that the brake drums on my '75 Champion Motorhome are direct swaps for the '62, giving me modern solid 8 bolt rims. -
Bob, it kinda looks like a former Texaco with those 3 stripes. Those late 50's Mopars rusted to nothing and were gone from our streets by 68 or so. Sad because they were sure good looking cars most of them. (the late 50's Fords didn't last long either)

New to forum 50 dodge questions & suggestions
PatS.... replied to Abeblinkin's topic in P15-D24 Forum
Welcome. You came to the right place for info. If you look at the front wheels, you'll see that there is little clearance between the wheel and the tie rod end, so if the front wheel fits, measure that backspace and that's what you'll need. Any more and you'll hit the tie rod end. The rears can take more backspace. Charlie on the forum (Olddaddy) makes a great disc brake kit. Here's some more info from Rod and Custom: http://www.rodandcustommagazine.com/techarticles/135_0501_1951_plymouth_suburban_wagon/index.html -
This ad is posted on the local Kijiji...just wondering if anybody here can help this guy out??? http://calgary.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-classic-cars-51-52-plymouth-rear-bumper-W0QQAdIdZ138384536

This was up on the hoist at my transmission shop a few years ago. It was a Ranchero I think, but the gas tank and filter set-up was interesting in that it looked as if it would easily fit on my '49. Just in case a replacement is needed, Jim.

Fred, I'm still not certain of the trip. Still have Dr's appt's and those types of concerns, and have to be sure I have the cash, but I really need a change of scenery...BADLY I may just cancel the appt's and rescedule...they are a bunch of quacks anyway. Might be better quacks at the beach!!!! I was following that Hup restoration thread for a while...the guy is amazing...a great fabricator and very patient.
-
Fred, came across this today, thought you might be interested. This fellow is restoring a Hupmobile ( a facinating process...the guy is making his own rare parts) The bit on upholstery is this page: http://forums.aaca.org/ubbthreads.php/topics/510406/27 and the next page. He makes it LOOK easy

I better check the old twisted door before I junk it. I suspect it's the same but better check first. Thanks for all the suggestions!!!!

My old car books are all in the Library...you know...the room with the big white chair????
-
Rare as hens teeth and the ones I do find are all much worse. The price for shipping a rust-free door from a desert state is alarming to say the least. More than I paid for the truck by a LOT. The newer doors with the pushbutton are more common but require changing the whole panel where the striker is on the body part of the jamb. $$$$$$$ as well.
-
What would be the best way to go about repairing this rust on the drivers door of my 62 D300? This IS the replacement door, the best I could find...the "fridge door handle" doors are scarce. This is the best of a not so good lot.
-
I'm gonna put "Paddy O'Furniture" on the doors of my 62 Dodge D300 I have a neighbor who was in the sign business for 40+ years. He letters by hand better than any computer...a lost "art".
-
Now he can buy his 'vette and have a cool story to tell about the demise of his Firebird. Isn't it all about the stories??? The firetruck seems in better shape than one would think after rolling down that hill...didn't even break the light bar.
-
There is no info on this rig, but I'm pretty sure that's a Mopar flat six in there. Anyone have any further info???? http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/search/label/hauler

Very nice engine!!! If you're in or near Calgary, Dale Adams has a Dyno.

A good 6 volt starter would last a very long time in a 12 volt car. I've seen a few 12 volt conversions retaining the 6 volt starter without any issues.

Close...the fellow in the pictures with the coffee cup built this entirely by hand beginning with the family 85 Mercury Marquis sedan. The frame was shortened and the engine moved back and lowered. The windshield is from a Neon, the dash is a BMW, the wheels are Chrysler 300. There are a bunch of other parts like the door glass and quarter glass from different vehicles. The mechanicals are stock. The guy said he was a sheet metal mechanic and draftsman. The thing is absolutely flawless...just an amazing piece of craftsmanship.

need opinions. How does it look?
PatS.... replied to buds truck's topic in Mopar Flathead Truck Forum
Looks perfect to me, Bud. How about signal lights in the roll on top of the box??? -
Great turnout...great weather. Few older Mopars. Lots of Muscle cars and those gaudy PT Cruisers:eek: Dodge (year escapes me) Dodge...1928 I think. Canadian National Parks Admission Plates on the '28 58 Plymouth
