This count???? Nearly drown several times. Doors leak but that also lets the water out! One doesn't sign up for this but it has never intimated me from enjoying the moment. Ya get hero points too!

Gregarious, I am struck by so few "attaboys!" Even 'tho I'm way past wiring issues on my car, I enjoy seeing you workmanship and your work ethic. We need more "hands on" young guys and you are a great example. Keep up the good work, keep us posted and,....keep us honest! Good job and,.. atta boy!

I believe the key word is "HOW" I can't figger it out,...either. But I guess that's irrelevant now because in scanning this thread I see I have already posted and I assume included in the poll. Like I said,....CRS Now I'm over 80,...I think.

Copied this image from Aug. 2016 40plyrod post above, because someone on another thread mentioned patina. The Sub. still looks like this and the car is pretty much a daily driver. Mike is a very involved Dad so much of his free time lately is working with Josh on school work, rockets and quad runners.

Just discovered this threat. Great project! I love the "McGiver" factor. In scanning the thread I have a question and a comment. Comment - In my opinion, you don't need to rationalize (for others) why you're doing what your doing. It's the journey, right? If you want the best of an old Mopar, restore it. If you want better performance or economy or reliability, buy a new car. Question - I may have missed it but what's the source for the air cleaners? I love the Siamese effect and imagine it X3 for my Hemi.

Always loved Suburbans so this thread got my attention. I'll probably never have one and this is probably as close as I'll ever get. Just had to revisit the thread, "My Friend Mike" which is over a year old and chronicled his build prior to a run to Canada in July, 2016. Perhaps some of the new guys would enjoy the documentry,....

I did that, I think on Ed's advise, some years ago and heartily endorse the suggestion. Bad enough hanging upside-down like a bat, but at least you can see.
-
Did not use tape to wrap. I changed things too many times so just left zip ties a frequent intervals.
-
I used Redline as well and am very satisfied with the service and the result.
-
On my P15, I found a body bolt at the rear passenger side at the top of the frame's arch, adjacent to the spare tire well. "Twas non symmetrical with the rest of the car. As I recall, there was an odd number of bolts. All others seemed to be in a logical, symmetrical pattern. If you find one on one side, look for an opposing one. Good luck. Pics please.

Nice job! Fond memories of rewiring my P-15. Musta gone through coupla hundred zip ties re thinking, rerouting and reconnecting. Pretty pleased with the results. A piece of advice that a very capable techie/friend lectured me on was,..."lotsa grounds",...."solid grounds".
-
Gregarious, I like the way you think. Cool project! Please get that build thread online.
-
Nice job! Great looking engine! Tx for the thread.
-
Classic Instruments in Boyne City MI, rebuilds, .. pretty pricey 'tho. Had mine done for the P15 at Redline in SoCal. They did a nice job but still an expensive exercise.
-
The Slant-6 is way long and in my opinion is a bigger project than a V8

Don't see no feature photo of a dark blue 40 2 door,....with white walls. Come on now. Show us your own ride,

I'm sneakin up on 80. Best part is sharing with Grandkids who were in town for the party. They all drove the car. First Mo-power was a Chrysler Hemi in my 35 Ford about 1958. First all Mopar Mopar is my P15 originally purchased about 1996. About "about",....I suffer from CRS but I can usually get the facts about right.

Hot Hemi Heads http://www.hothemiheads.com/ and "Wayfarer" on this forum are your friends. Both supply parts and experienced opinion/information.

I strongly second all of the above. Additionally as implied elsewhere, I strongly recommend Diamdbacks if you still have that option.
-
That's just a killer solution to a dash board! Creative while still respecting the theme of the car's design.
-
can't be real!
-
Ain't it nice to get back to a project with a fresh eye. Allows one to take stock of how far you've come. Good job, eh! Points for outta the box thinking. Great looking car.
-
Great job! Certainly you are proud of the achievement, as you should be. Nice reward for the cost and the hours of labor and decision making,. Atta boys from the masses are the frosting on the cake.
