  1. 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
  2. Around here all the places that take oil also take the filters for recycling
  3. More cool stuff The actual car used in the movie Ford vs Ferrari
  4. 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
  5. 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
  6. Thursday we went to the airzoo. Great collection of aircraft and NASA items. Only surviving piece of the USS Juneau which happened to land on the deck of another ship as it was sunk. This was recovered off the bottom of lake Michigan and restored Only one of these ever made
  7. That's my install thread. Crazy it's just shy of 10y ago!
  8. I'll get some pics added but we're back. Wagon clicked off about 1200 miles with no complaints. Was a little warm towards the end of each drive but with just the vents open and the tailgate cracked about 1/3 we got good airflow without so much noise you couldn't talk or listen to music.
  9. Wagon and the rest of us have arrived. Started out in the rain until we stopped for gas after about 2.5h. Lots of traffic by Chicago - our 9ish hour drive took 12
  10. Don't worry about it. It's been prompting me on my wagon thread and I didn't even ask a question!
  11. I bought mine at Mopars in the park which has a pretty big Mopar focused swap. I have 2 vehicles that have been swapped to more modern 15s. Paid $100 for the 2. What I discovered to get exact matches is there is a stamped in part # by the valve stem. I believe your 9" cap is an older wheel and the 8" is newer. Beyond that you also likely want to match width. Mine are 6.5 which is more in demand so more $.
  12. We're headed to the national meeting of the Plymouth club in Lansing Michigan. Once we get there I'll post some updates on this thread. Sounds like we'll be seeing some pretty cool stuff. Top of my list right now is a few WWII fighter planes that were recovered from the bottom of lake MI after crashing during carrier training and the Mopar only show at the Gilmore car museum
  13. Interesting I used the por silver on my coupe years back. Doesn't look greenish to me. I bought it so I could brush it on while engine was still in the car
  14. Pretty sure I just saw that 41 truck for sale at a cheap 28.5k
  15. If you've got it mostly functional other than double clutching 3rd why not leave it for a min and see if you can find another trans or some new parts?
  16. Dynamat project I posted about a couple weeks ago was part of prep for a 600ish mile road trip. This afternoon checked the spare and decided it was time for an update... The one in the rear was a G series bias ply that's probably older than I am!! Dug out the matching wheel I bought a couple years back at Mopars in the park. Cleaned it up and hit it with some spray paint. Tomorrow a used tire and one less thing to get ready. Interestingly also discovered the 14 spare is almost identical height wise to my 15s. So speedometer shouldn't be too messed up.
  17. Isn't the idea to pound them towards flat not make them concave the other direction?
  18. Wear gloves- good possibility that goop has lead in it from the old leaded fuel
  19. Maybe a quick study will show it's the same or similar enough. Did the 56 use the same rear mounts?
  20. Do you not have the 51 bell housing to make it a sure fit?
  21. Has anyone mentioned checking the spring piece for the points?
  22. Am I seeing things or is the 2nd from the left in the pic not even touching the lifter?
  23. For the cars you can use an extra rear cap as the top and you've got a line connection ready to go.
  24. I've got one spare that's pretty rusty if I remember right. Might be good for a pattern of someone can make up a few.
  25. Car is reassembled and of course we had to test drive to DQ. Noticeably quieter. You can hardly hear it running at idle.
