  1. They are about that size. They were actually rectangular about 12x9. We tamped the ground and put leveling sand under them as needed to get them level to each other.
  2. Depends on what type of heater you have, who installed it, and if anyone messed with it over the years. Not to mention shortages coming out of WWII probably led to them building with what they had. My 48 has dual heaters and according to the parts book should have had the dual outlet valve however it had and has the one pictured above with a T in the lines.
  3. It's on 12 concrete bases. They have a + in the top that the 2x6s sit in.
  4. Snuck in another side this past Saturday. Still have the lower roof on the far side. It has some snow/ice on it still and I was running out of daylight. Still hoping to sneak in that last side so all I have come spring is the trim work and a door. Unscrewing the tarp door is getting old already!
  5. I believe it's a mix of parts over the years. Some aftermarket wheel cylinders had a different piston design needing the longer pin. Combine all that with a few decades of repairs and mixing and matching and you get where we are now.
  6. I think it is a car ornament but I don't know which year or model
  7. It's not a W series either.
  8. And if those don't seem to match up check 50 dodges for fit. Dad was always going to put a 51 Dodge setup in his Plymouth because it was a 2speed setup. Never did get around to that swap though
  9. I already have that area - this is to get all the mowers and bikes out of it! My garage has a 20x22 heated workshop.
  10. Yup there is a slightly newer one of those in Dad's garage. It works great on old stuff. Even has pipes for those 70s cars with the jacking slots in the bumpers.
  11. Yup all the materials are here. Just need a sunny day to dry off the paper and I can install more. It goes quick once you get the first one oriented correctly.
  12. Got it really close before snow is supposed to come tonight. The upper roof is done( pic is slightly out of date). The front siding also got installed. I had to just tarp over the door opening.
  13. What I was hoping to find is that it's the same as one of the other models. I know a lot of the door parts are shared with the convertibles
  14. I tried looking up the part number in my 51 parts book and got no where. Never found where they had it listed and I looked through the entire body section. Anyone know what section it should be in or it's Mopar name?
  15. These should be posted in the show your tools thread. I've been eyeing one myself for years but so far I'm going fine with my old school one
  16. The 4dr sedan rear hinges are only for that. The suburban hinges interchange with the same position hinges of the 4dr, 2dr, business coupe, club coupe, and convertible
  17. The latest issue of the hagerty drivers magazine has a great article in support of the project car. I'll see if I can find a digital version to post the entire thing but the idea is that having something like that keeps one going.
  18. Modern 6v flashers are trash. I went through a bunch of them in my 48 before grabbing a few vintage ones at the junkyard that I've been using for many years.
  19. Not only that but the majority of it is dumpster bin lumber. I had to buy the ground contact stuff, the header boards, and some of the 2x6s.
  20. Still immobile with a leaky gastank so I decorated
  21. Got a lot more done this weekend. I feel like we can make it happen before winter fully hits us now.
  22. For lack of counter space I just bolted my grinder to a piece of angle. In my case it's a piece of an old bed frame. When I want to use it I just clamp the angle in my vise. When not I can store it elsewhere than my bench top
  23. Call it what you want shed, mini barn, the city calls it an accessory building and you can go 200 sq ft with a basic permit. This is 12x16 with a loft for the kids to play in. Long term goal is to get all the random stuff out of the main garage, maybe put 1 car in here, and open the wall between my garage and shop.
  24. Also look at the flat spot right at the top of the pumpkin against the mounting to the housing. That's where I usually see the stamp but it's hard to see when it's in the car.
  25. And the PC7 got it to almost seal. It's still seeping some and that was only with a small amount of fuel in it.
