Just bringing Dad's 66 wagon out from storage and at some point it got lead stains on the hood and roof. I'll give it a standard washing first of course but I'm quite sure that won't get it all off. So what's next? Clay bar? Polish? Buffing compound?
-
Yes that's true. In a perfect world the bolts are good and can stay in place while the flywheel comes off to get fixed
-
Why are we pulling the oil pan to remove the flywheel?

39-47 trucks didn't get an access hole for the sending unit in until 47. My 46 doesn't have one but the 47 does

There is a little slot in the bottom of the knob. A small screwdriver in there will release the clip from the switch. Then you can unscrew the bezel and the switch will drop out the back.

Doesn't everyone have a spare hanging on the wall???

For sure. He spoke just as passionately when he was speaking at our meeting.

He comes in at about 8min wearing a maroonish striped shirt with the car to his right

Wagon trip. It's only a few posts down from the top.

Not really a friend but I did meet him a few times. I believe he's moved out of MN now. He talks all about his families experiences in that video

Yes that was Mark - he's on that hagerty video too. Check the off topic area where I just took a trip to Michigan and saw one in person at the gilmore museum

It's been probably 20y since I messed with those on dad's 50 but I believe they were held in place by pins on the item and those little one way clips -
They still do and they have a second location now too

Dad was a mechanic at a couple local Ford dealers in mid to late 70s. He told me one day he came out and there was a rolloff full of edsel parts. Brand new horse collar grills sitting in the dumpster etc

Probably the yard is in MN

Always a good time there but I sorta miss the old days when it wasn't so organized and you had to wander more.
-
And if you want to spend a little more (or maybe a lot) have your originals sleeved. Few places that do it- brake and equipment warehouse is my go to because they happen to be local to me and do great work

New company with an owner who was a member here and left a bad taste for a lot of us back then
-
Let me know if you're passing through
-
Are you and it still in MN? I'm in the twin cities
-
Sounds like you're shopping moparpro. He's having those drums made and they're $$$. But check your existing ones first. They're well made and quite possibly still good. I think I've heard of others getting gas tanks for about $300 off ebay

Saturday was Mopars at the red barn car show. There were almost 500 Mopars in attendance plus a swap meet and all the regular displays. One of the coolest things to me was this 64 Plymouth satellite

Friday we did a military museum -didn't take many pics there is was more artifacts and smaller stuff vs vehicles. From there the lost railway museum. They had some smaller train cars called inter Urban's. Third stop was called ye old carriage shop. Lots of very unique cars made in Jackson MI. A few of them were the only one known. These two are the only ones known and he had both! Neat looking car with the cyclops headlight. He had the next model year which had conventional dual lights. And a pocket door car
