  1. I did the exact same thing on the interior bumpers on my 1980 Volare. The factory left it partially painted in primer and partly bare steel. The fact that it had never spent much time on the road kept it from being really bad. I did not paint over the POR-15 as it rarely gets bright direct sun. That was 10-12 years ago and no rust ever shown up.
  2. Seems to me a range of 7.2-7.6 is correct for a generator in good condition. Assuming the battery is ok. Make sure your grounds are good and your regulator is working correctly.
  3. In the late 70’s my Mother waited till she was functionally blind before having them done. She said she expected to die before she had to have them replaced.
  4. I agree with you both. Had mine removed in 2016 and the change was dramatic. The difference between the eye done first and the eye done second was astonishing. You never realize how much you loose in vision till it’s replaced. After fifty years of wearing thick glasses I now have for all intents and purposes 20/20 vision with only need reading glasses. Best medical procedure so far.
  5. Well this is not mine but belongs to friends of one of my daughters.
  6. It's certainly is either feast or famine for you guys.
  7. Here’s hoping everyone has a happy and automotively productive New Year,
  8. Happy Holidays to all. Our family day is today with food everywhere and presents piled to the ceiling. First time in quite a while that all the offspring and grandchildren are going to be in our house at the same time.
  9. We are up to a balmy -2 degrees F. That said, we missed the big snow that was promised. And by next week, 57 degrees F. Spring!
  10. You might take off the inspection plate and look to see if you have oil on the disc. The entire flywheel is between the rear main and the clutch so I would think that it is unlikely. How much free play do you have on the pedal. It sounds like you are just grossly maladjusted. Of course doing what you did by trying to burn the oil off will make that much worse. Do an inspection and double check your adjustment. The manual covers the procedure though if you changed it yourself you probably know how to do it.
  11. I remember replacing the rear mounts on my 52 Plymouth without removing anything but the mounts themselves. It was a battle. My neighbor helped me and it took several hours.
  12. Winter Wonderland, an oxymoron if I ever read one?
  13. You might contact Moores in S. Dakota: http://mooresautosalvage.com/
  14. Well what I did on my 52 four door was to make brackets for the rocker trim using the existing holes. The rocker clips on mine were in pretty bad shape and weren’t easily fixable. I think I used perforated banding material in four places and a screw in the front. This stuff: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Master-Flow-Perforated-Metal-Hanger-Straps-3-4HS/100396917
  15. My 52 has metal stems and moving does the hub cap no good whatsoever
  16. I too much prefer to drive my older cars(1952 and 1980). More enjoyable and comfortable plus I can still fix most things that go wrong(which is rarely). My 2016 Traverse rarely gets used in the warm weather.
  17. i have never had a dealer ask about maintenance records on trade in. And as far as personal sale, I just offer to give the person my hand written record of what I have had done or did do. Usually no one cares much I guess. I do keep receipts as long as I own the car.
  18. I had a similar issue with an 83 Plymouth Reliant K clutch that they would not take care of. I have never bought a newer Chrysler vehicle again.
  19. Well I had the same problem with one side on the rear on my 52 Plymouth. I looked at it and thought, what the hell. I took my torch(all I have) and carefully and gently welded the cam to the bolt. I let it cool and it worked fine. That was probably 10 years ago.
  20. Try to avoid splitting the manifold if you can. A PIA to get them back together correctly.
  21. I as well hope you heal fast. Things like that seem to be one of the most aggravating issues of getting older.
  22. I would call Then and Now and ask them. In my dealings with them they were always helpful.
