  1. Love it!!! Keep the updates and pics coming! You're doing a great job on that truck.
  2. There is likely someone out there willing and capable of cleaning up this mess, but nobody's gonna pay even 1/4 of this price for the "privilege" These guys get in over their head, give up on the butcher job they created BUT still think it's worth the sum total of what they have in it. It ain't.
  3. http://phoenix.craigslist.org/nph/cto/935652958.html For $4700, I sure wouldn't want THIS!!
  4. Our city, for the last 45 yrs, has been designed around the car. It was presumed that everyone would travel by car, so almost nothing is walking distance, and if it is, there are no sidewalks, and you have to cross an 8 lane freeway on a 4 second walk light. Public transit is fine if you are going downtown, if not, pack a lunch and a sleeping bag. Going from home to work? Fergit about the bus. The news yesterday said car sales in Canada went UP a fair bit in October...winter's coming, people need reliable wheels I guess.
  5. My favourite by far of the 49-54 Plymouths. Great job, Tim...love the colors!!
  6. "Would you pay for half of a safety to ensure it's roadworthy?" "I live in Canada, can I drive it home?" "How many miles are on it?"
  7. click on "Channels" for different genre's. 40's might be called "big band" even though it was much more than that. Check this out...top 40 for 1948 http://www.popularsong.org/1948.html
  8. Noticed that they cut the songs off before they end!!!!!!! wonder why?????
  9. He didn't mention the millions of illegal Canadians invading the US.
  10. That's a fantastic site...everything under the sun and more...thanks!
  11. Well, GM chased a customer away today by their greed. I needed a nozzle for the ww washer on my 93 Silverado. Tiny little thing it is. GM wants $35 bucks EACH!!! I'm not bailing them out singlehandedly, and if the price was reasonable I would have bought a couple. Went to the Honda dealer next door and got a couple for $10 each...gotta drill two holes in the hood and reroute the hoses, but that's no big deal. $70 bucks for 85 cents worth of plastic! I guess they need some fuel for the private jet they took to grovel for some cash. Honda got the $20 instead. Sad
  12. Welcome back, Allan.
  13. Is it purely MPG?
  14. For being a simple unit, it sure is cantankerous, like the brakes. What are the alternatives??
  15. I thought for a long time the problem with the big 3 was that there were no car guys running them with the fire in the belly for cars. But when you look at the imports, you don't see any evidence of any fire in any belly there...just the opposite. So, what's the attraction to imports? Or is it just that it's not fashionable to drive domestic? The stats prove that quality is getting to be on par, or are stats wrong? I just don't get it. It seems the domestics are doomed and no one knows how to fix it. Sad
  16. Great idea, but if 30 miles on a charge is the best it will do, it's not ready to leave the drawing board. Better of with a Smart Car...or a tricycle
  17. Brightened up the dark pics a bit. Looking good, is this before you did the engine? Have you driven it yet?
  18. Pete lists his suppliers on his website, and there is a list on the main page of this website. I think Charlie has some as well, www.rustyhope.com
  19. From Blueskies website, a beautiful flathead: Check out Pete Anderson's website (Blueskies) http://www.50plymouth.com/02-hom/home.html the engine page: http://www.50plymouth.com/04-eng/eng.html Don Coatney's Photobucket: http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v65/DonCoatney/ There is a wealth of flattie info here. Just surf some old threads. You'll be an expert yourself soon, likely the youngest one here How about some pics of your car and engine????
  20. How well do you know your car logos??? http://autos.canada.com/community/logosquiz/index.html Me? 35/50
  21. That turned out beautiful, Dave.
  22. Ride is similar but control feels light years better. Best single mod you can do to these cars, IMHO. Charlie has the upper brackets www.rustyhope.com
  23. Fred, a neighbor in St Andrews...with old cars. http://www.mts.net/~grkynman/index.html
  24. Thanks, Bill!! Pat in Calgary
