I can't answer the question but I am sure someone on here will. But, I have an EXCELLENT frame from a 1941 Plymouth sedan and I believe that it would fit your car. Again, someone here will surely know the answer to that. Joe I sent you an email and a PM.

Hi, I have the complete setup from a 1941 Plymouth including the master cylinder. I also have the steering shaft/column and the steering gear box. These should fit your car if you want to stay stock. (Not sure about the column, though) Let me know if you are interested in them. Joe Please respond to my email - coozie44@yahoo.com

Not exactly sure what you stripped,the 4-way block, the MC or the line. But I just recently had a similar problem with my MC outlet port AND the brake line that connects to it. BOTH were stripped /cross-threaded and I was about to spend a lot of money on a new MC and brake line. I decided to give a tap and die set a shot. I had nothing to lose - it was either going to work or I would have to spring for the new stuff anyway. I carefully re-threaded both the MC and the brake line and have NO leakage after reassembly. You might want to give it a try. The size was 3/8 X 20. Good Luck, Joe

Tarps=bad - they will trap and create more moisture under them. Could also scratch the paint, etc.... Good, breathable car cover=good - this will allow the air to circulate and thus thwart the formation/trapping of moisture. It is worth the investment in a good car cover. Also, I believe there are products for the interior to keep them dry. Maybe someone else can help with that. If the car is being stored and not used often then one of those "bubbles" would work to keep moisture at bay, too. Joe

If, as you said, the starter spun but did not turn the engine over it may likely be that the solenoid is not engaging and the starter gear will not contact the flywheel. It will only spin.

Gee, go figure. You are not able to put up a temporary structure on your own property because of regulations..... but you are going to be able to leave a car outside with a cover on it? Maybe you better ask that question, too. Anyway, if you are going to use a car cover the worst thing to do, and a lot of people do this, is to put plastic over and under the car. All that does is trap moisture and promote rot. I am speaking from experience. I bought a car that had this done to it and the frame rusted. Buy the best car cover for outdoor use you can find. I am not real familiar with those car capsules but would that be a good idea to use along with the car cover??? The best option is to either find a friend with a garage or make friends with someone who has one...... Joe

I bought one of those garage-in-a-box canopy enclosures. I am, so far, very pleased with it. It keeps the car out of the elements and is relatively inexpensive and easy to put up. My thought is to combine the canopy with a car cover for the maximum protection if the car needs to be outside. Joe

A couple of things jump out at me when looking at the pictures. First, is that a double belt pulley on the generator? If it is it looks to me, and I may be wrong, that the belt should be in the back groove. It may just be the way the picture was taken but that belt does not look like it is lined up with the water pump pulley. Second, what's up with the upper radiator hose? It looks like it has collapsed where it comes out of the radiator. Not good as that will restrict flow. You mentioned running the car with the radiator out. If you intend on running it for a VERY short time, like less than a minute or two, that will at least allow you to see if the engine runs okay. However, if you are planning on driving it around without a radiator, not a good idea, then be ready to do some major work on the engine afterward. Check to see if you have any spark. The easiest way is to pull a spark plug, reconnect the plug wire, ground the plug housing somewhere on the block and crank the engine. Look at the plug where the electrode is while cranking - there should be spark. If no spark then I would check the points next. Joe

Hi, I live in Stroudsburg, Pa. very close to Allentown, Pa I have a 1941 Plymouth parts car that has a super solid frame. Does anyone know if it will fit his car? Joe

Getting back to the original question..... Try www.flatoutglass.net Joe

Hi, I would leave the Fluid Drive coupling alone. It is a sealed (with a drain plug) system and no water "should" have gotten into it. If you feel you MUST drain it for peace of mind - it wouldn't do any harm. Use 10w (non-detergent???) oil to refill. However, the screen will allow water to get to the throw out bearing and the clutch plate/pressure plate. I would check those out first. Joe
