Once it’s all done, give it a nice toasty finish!LOL
-
That is a very nice car. The total height of a hard to is less than a coupe of the sane year.

Driving on the white line is an octogenarian safety maneuver because it gives two choices instead of one, left or right! It’s a compensation for reduced vision!!!
-
Isn’t “clowns” a political reference? LOL

Poor eyesight! Depth perception not what it should be. Didn’t want to hit the Ford.

Downtown today. Still like my patina.

Dad bought me a ‘50 Plymouth fast back, very poor image building at the time. Drive it for three years including a round trip from Western Nebraska to Central California. My last family Mopar was a Chrysler Cirrus with a 24 valve engine, drove it 19 years, 300,000 miles. Now my 52 B3B, 53 Suburban and 53 coupe.

This I call a full rack. The “stick” style possibly better described as a tree branch. Accurate nomenclature requested. Those grow in one season, amazing.

A 72” radiator fan running slowly but speeds up when someone is too close might get some attention also!
-
If a motorist would see this, I wonder if he would cut in like so many do?

Los, TKS. I needed that! At 4:00 today a mechanic friend will help me finish the brakes, do a safety “to drive” check, restart the engine and drive it. It’s the seconds time I’ve had any physical help on this build. But now it’s time to get it done.
-
Now on the lift for final mechanical and safety checks. Going too slow, but I’ll get it done. I learned a great deal on this build. I would never do one again. Paul

California Dodge, spotted in an employees parking lot.

Just want it to be clearly understood, Tim is only available on loan. We know a great guy when we see one! Looking forward to April.

629 lbs turned into the butcher. Will feed us for a year. if that moose dressed out at 50%, then that was a 1250 lb animal. That is not s calf! Great rack. Why some full wing others stick style?

If memory serves me right, the frame is the return route for the current to circle. If for example the bed on a truck is NOT grounded to the frame, the tail lights will not work. That means the cable to the battery from the engine carries a lot of energy. Now that means the engine must be grounded to the chassis so all those electrical items are also grounded back to the battery.

On my 53 Suburban I used a harness from EZ Wiring.. it is a good product. But should I ever rewire an old vehicle again, I would get a time. Would take no more than two days. Kits have many more wires than what is required. JMHE.

Robert it will be! Sorry!

Bob, there is an old story of a little boy who was throwing the small sea creatures back into the ocean while millions did not make it back and were eaten by the sea gulls. An observer asked the boy if what he was doing made a difference, to which the boy replied,”it does to that one,”. I guess we best just just try to save one, but the other ones we see are very temping.
-
I wondered the same. I reversed my decision to buy it, yet at $350, even without an engine is worth that for parts. Hope someone picks it up.

$350 interested. Just bought it today. -
I know I crazy, but for $350 just had to buy this. It’s on a duelly frame and includes a flat bed. Don’t know what I’ll do with it, maybe add it to 48dodgers collection. It does not have an engine, but lots of those around.

You must be in Montana by now. We took a 9,000 mile trip three years ago. One tip, stop whenever you see something interesting. Thiose quick stops do not add to the length of the trip and you don’t get road weary. Sure wish we were 200 yards behind you.

Update, don’t know what happened to the above photos. Had some issues with the brakes but now have a new master cylinder installed. Bleeding should now be possible. Health issues have really slowed me down. With the front rims removed, I now lower the front to work on the engine and I raise one side when I need to work under or in the car. CHP Appointment for vin verification on the 25th. With brakes I can drive this car.

I thoroughly enjoy the very casual, unassuming photos of your fun with that car. I am days away from driving my suburban, then I will drive it everywhere like you do, until I find a buyer. My body just seems to have given up, so everything is slow motion. Cool weather is a great help, back down to high 80’s at 4::00 pm. Love to see your son so involved also.
