Don't be shy take the full .050" off you will like it. I did .070 once it got to full clean-up.

I attached a link with some options for the extended bell housing motors from the "Hamb" lots more information on the topic over there if you want to read up. I personally have steered away from the extended bell blocks. Picture an additional 8-10" of cast iron (estimated from memory) hanging off the back of the block. https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/331-hemi-extended-block-modification.249741/

Ulu, Nicely done, looks like a good place to sit back with a cool drink and relax.

Beautiful car Linus. Always liked that year and body style along with the 67 GTO. Glad to see it survived the years and is in good hands.

E-bay has grown some for better and some for worse. The "Sniping" software made it easy for you and others to submit your bid in the last 5 seconds of the auction for example and really worked well. The trouble is most of that software available came with stuff you did not want when you downloaded it (nothings free). I am still a user and when in need it is a good source to check for parts first.

PA, The 2 adapters/spacers are 4.5BC to 4.5BC purchased from E-bay site a few years back for another project that is on hold. I am impressed with the quality of them overall for the price. Placed them in the picture to show an option for those that may want to start with these to build a cheap puller. They are aluminum but I think I paid $25 for the set of 2. Similar to these currently offered below and I doubt I could make them for less money. 2pc Hubcentric Wheel Spacers Adapters ¦ 5X114.3 (5X4.5) ¦ 64.1 CB ¦ 20mm Thick | eBay (2) 1" inch 5x4.5 to 5x4.5 Wheel Spacers 25mm 1/2" x 20 Studs | eBay

KeithB7, Really well thought out and executed garden. Had to be satisfying to sit back and enjoy it after all the hard work. When you work hard for something to get it the way you want it the appreciation of every detail is so much more than the eye can see.

I see a lot of discussion on drum pullers for our old Mopars so I thought I would post this easy to make puller I put together a few years back. No flexing in this baby and never fails. If you slot the holes it could be used on other makes as well. You could also make an insert to adapt it for a slide hammer for pulling axles. I see some folks bidding on these lately and this may be an cheap option. Next to the puller you will see some wheel spacers that if you found in steel would give you a head start. Use a piece of pipe, 2 nuts and some threaded rod for those with limited machining capabilities. Posted in tool thread just now as well Hope this helps V$

Here is a picture of mine from a previous year. Have not tilled it up yet this year with the cold weather and rain were having. I like the raised bed idea to help keep the small animals out. I trapped 14 skunks, a raccoon, 7 squirrels, a woodchuck, a feral cat, and 2 possum all in about 30 days winter before last. Deer are also tuff but my fault for not putting up a fence. I second Los comment on those PA buckets they look great and the price is certainly a deal. I see 55 gallon plastic drums come up for sale at pretty decent prices that could work.

Does it really matter much to you what others think on this matter I guess dictates what you feel you need to do. I never had a car or motorcycle in a show and never really cared what others thought of my ride. Honestly we are all different and will fall on either side of the fence or somewhere in-between on the subject. I attend shows rarely and for me I can find something positive on most everything when looking at a car/bike. Now if they have a swap meet section, that is likely where I'll be treasure hunting for something I can refurbish, utilize, fix, hang on a wall or make into something else. One man's trash is another mans treasure.

Very clean nice work

First thing I would check is the points for correct gap and pitting since you said 5000 miles since rebuild.

Thanks Mack, I like the way you have your bike set-up as well. Have one similar to it with the old adjustable rake trees in the front. Good eye identifying the Satellite wheel up front, really like the way both type mags throw the light. Old School

Here is my follow-up since I hate to post without a picture I had to do some searching. First pic shows the pipes strapped to me on the bike and that is how I went down the road to the Broken Spoke. Next shot is with them mounted. Left the old pipes at the bar in a trash barrel but pretty sure I saw someone grabbing them later and hopefully he put them to good use.

I am still a big fan of the old shovel & panhead days. I remember a Sturgis trip with a buddy of mine. He had an old iron head sporty and with everyone running drag pipes I couldn't hear if my bike was running or not. I picked up some 2" drag pipes downtown and proceeded to install them in a local bar parking lot. I had to use one of the old pipes to bend the lower support bracket to fit the lower new pipe. It was hot and folks were watching apparently because when I finished and started walking back toward the bar I was met with shouting to crank it up. So I did and they rewarded me with cheers and waitress brought me a beer on whoever I'm not sure. Still have the old bike with those pipes.

If you have not done so already, check all the connections for the horn. I found a dirty ground connection can be the culprit when it comes to the horn not working. I did pick up a new stock replacement relay at NAPA a few years back.

I viewed the post as a question as the OP stated in the first sentence. Oh well I hope the young man gets some useful help to his question. "I'm new to the P-15 forum and I would like to pose a question." " I cannot find replacement wheels for the car. Everything I have found doesn't have clamps welded on that use tension on the inside of the hubcap to hold them on". "Any help is truly appreciated. "

Nice looking car. I think your best info is going to come from the current owner as he should know the OD output and rear axle gearing along with his cruising experience at speed and on hills.

They don't get much better than that these days. Good engine and the color looks great on that model. Enjoy the ride

The "Machinist & Aerospace Workers Union" would give you one of those after you finished the first 6 months of your apprenticeship. That was the probationary period where they could decide if you had the makings to learn the trade or if they were going to cut you free. Nice box and looks in great shape. I have one as well and will see if it has any of the old paperwork that came with it. I thought way back in the day outfits like Sears and Montgomery Wards had a catalogue that you could order a wood machinist box but it could have been another brand. My mother used to grind carbide tooling for Fansteel/VR Wesson and she had the metal "Kennedy" machinist box.

This last group of pictures has me thinking power plants.

He really did a nice job. Just from the picture no signs of dings just smooth and shiny. With body work and paint you can use some primer and blocking to get a straight panel. Just naked steel would require a lot of hand dolly work before you ever started polishing. Be nice to see the sides of the doors but I would expect the owner is a craftsman and they look just as nice and was no easy accomplishment . Big D thanks for posting it
