  1. I did make kick panels for my 52 from Masonite which went well.
  2. Well I don’t know if it is still around but several years ago a fellow POC member told me he bought sheets of the original material from a company near Madison, Wi. Of course I kept no record of the name as I didn’t need any but might be a place to start looking. You might ask at the AACA forum as well since the also have a large knowledgeable group of people. You do not have to be a member to post there.
  3. I found a NOS on Flea-bay for not too much money a few years ago.
  4. Reasonably price fun!
  5. I remember seeing those in the JC Witney catalogs when I was a kid.
  6. I just did a quick Google search and it appears there are several choices available. Depends on what you want to spend I guess since you are just looking for a temporary solution.
  7. Thought some here might like this: https://www.oldcarsweekly.com/features/car-of-the-week-1948-dodge-b-1-b-half-ton?utm_medium=email&_hsmi=144170040&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_jrTyhGQ2MVYB0VJrEhbDnat-Lp5L75numxPtUXW0i_ViEoJVUnsFAJsD8OD3ri1zdHP_U_980ND7SrQMiCQ8lJy7eWw&utm_content=144170040&utm_source=hs_email
  8. Your pics come up 404 not found
  9. It’s funny how some cars will overheat almost right away and others never seem to. My 52 Plymouth is in the later category. At least so far.
  10. I have said in the past and will say again the when you buy the cheapest thing you can find don’t be surprised when you get it home and it still is the cheapest thing you could find. And regarding companies worried about repeat customers I think some of them have a philosophy of milking the customer one time real good and not to worry whether he comes back or not.
  11. In my case it was my wife
  12. Depends on who baked them.
  13. Ran when lost. Most likely still running.
  14. Moparlandia from the looks of it.
  15. Easier to find anyway….
  16. I am so old I can almost remember when a dollar was worth a dime.
  17. Well I had a similar problem with a 1983 Chevy Cavalier and I took the pieces to the hardware store and found a roller for something that I adapted to fit. Lasted the rest of the time I had the car.
  18. I used to paint cars semi-professionally back when acrylic enamel was the standard. My late brother in law and I would do minor body work and respray for a couple of local used car lots. I also did a couple of my own as well as a few for friends and family. I was ok, but not anywhere near show level. Cost for materials(except red paint) was not bad in the 80’s and early 90’s. The cost and need for extra protective equipment of base coat clear coat systems caused me to stop doing it back about 25 years ago.
  19. I had a couple of paint jobs done at Earl’s. Each time the manager told me if I wanted a really good job to remove the trim, headlights, and anything else removable that would not keep me from driving it in. And suggested that I lightly sand it with 220 grit paper. I did each time and other than a couple of small runs I was happy with both of them. That was back in the days of single stage enamel paint.
  20. Once a week whether we need it or not.?
  21. I miss Earl Scheib
  22. So today my daughter who orders food for our dog for us sent me a note to let me know that there would be a delay in delivery. Why you ask? FedX has decided that our address, the one they have delivered to for almost 40 years, is not a “real” address. So the shipper has to give them a special form to correct the problem before the will attempt delivery. Sigh…. Fido was getting fat anyway.
  23. My 52 had a leaky rear trans seal and after looking at it I took it directly to the local shop that also does old cars. About $180 later, all fixed.
