Nice Fairlane! I'm looking for something like that - or a Cyclone, or maybe a Comet or Falcon - preferably with a 4-speed and a V8 - to use as a daily driver. Hope I can find one as nice as yours.

You're probably lucky YOU didn't end up hanging on the line...! Congratulations on the progress - keep us posted.

For your consideration - a 1951 Plymouth Cranbrook 4-door for sale on the Bring a Trailer website: http://bringatrailer.com/2012/05/03/bat-exclusive-1951-plymouth-cranbrook-woverdrive/

Congratulations, Tim! Enjoy...

Hang in there - we've all experienced these unexpected roadblocks. As frustrating as it is right now, it will be worth it in the end.

It appears to have been cancelled.

Glad to know I'm not the only one to have done this...!

+1 I love my Kwik-Lift ♥

Nice!

Country Time is fine, but Don's bottle looks more interesting...!

What happened to this post? It sounded like such great news.

Agreed - I didn't like him in SNL, don't like him now, never could figure out his appeal. The only thing I dislike more than his yearly attention-grabbing appearance at the AT&T golf tournament out here is how the local press seems to think he is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Just not my cup of tea.

Out here in the West we call those channel locks Vise-Grips!

Rodney, Love the Trans Am! Glad you were able to get satisfaction with the repairs. Actually, the fit and finish appears to be the equivalent of how most GM cars rolled of the assembly line back in the late 70s - early 80s.

Very nice car. I really like the color combination. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110787278857&fromMakeTrack=true&ssPageName=VIP:watchlink:top:en

I've been a train nut forever. Started out with American Flyer when I was little - Dad bought two sets, one for me and one for my brother. We combined them onto one layout which, of course, would only come out at Christmas. When we got older Dad sold the American Flyer and bought a bunch of Tyco HO gauge stuff, still Christmas only. Dad gave the Tyco stuff away after I moved out of the house. After I got married I didn't have much room for a layout so I decided to give N gauge a try. I put together a couple of layouts, but after a few years I lost interest and sold everything. I still love anything having to do with trains and railroads. Occasionally I will pull over to the side of the road to watch a 5-engine consist roll by (there isn't much freight activity here on the San Francisco Peninsula, so when we travel I relish the opportunities). My wife thinks I'm nuts but is used to it now. Who knows, maybe after retirement I'll dive back into it.

Otherwise known as a bachelor's breakfast.

What rule are you referring to?

I remember it like it was yesterday. I was 4 years old, at home with my mom. I remember Mom getting a phone call from my Dad, who was at work. It was weird, cause Dad never called from work. I remember Mom hanging up the phone and breaking down in tears. I was scared that Gramma or Grampa had died, until Mom turned on the TV and explained what happened. I remember that for the next three days there was nothing else on TV. Just a few years ago I watched the video of Walter Cronkite on CBS getting choked up announcing the President's death. Brought a tear to my eye.

Isn't that the same basic V8 that was used by British Leyland in the Rover (which was originally the aluminum V8 produced by Buick)?

Hello folks, I stumbled upon this 1949 Plymouth for sale: http://www.rkmotorscharlotte.com/inventory/1949-Plymouth-Special-Deluxe/132424 The engine is especially nice. It looks familiar - was it previously owned by someone on this forum? Just curious. Thanks.

The '48 looks great - more pics when you can, please!

I found it on Ebay - I got mine for a BIN price of $39.95 with free shipping. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/LOCKING-SHAVED-DOOR-POPPER-KIT-EMERGENCY-CABLE-RELEASE-/190566220329?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2c5ea1c229
