Neil do you have a camera in my house? How did you know I was in the corner??

I don't think it looks that bad. I that a hood scoop or just a weird reflection?

Here is a link also for some floors http://www.rcarfabrications.com/home.aspx?storename=rcar

dont throw out your tooth brush I think it has magical powers. Do you have any pictures of your teeth?

Reg, I see this is your kitchen, I see the fridge in the background and the mixing bowl on the table. What does your garage look like???

Does anyone have a picture of a cross section of weather stripping that would fit on a 50 Plymouth. Would like to see what shape it is supposed to be.

The previous owner of my 50 Plymouth did a crappy job of painting the door jambs and around the inside of the door.He did it with a brush and did not clear over it. It was very dull and peeling in spots(weird because the rest of the car is painted fine). It always bugged me when I had the doors open. I went to the local hardware store and found a can of Rustoleum "Harbor Blue". The results came out better than expected:D. I wish I took a before picture.

Ive been wondering how Joel's project has been going. I have not seen him on the forum in a while.

My passenger door never shut right and it always looked like it was open when shut also had to slam it to get it to shut. When I first got my 50 Plymouth there was no weather stripping on the driver side but there was on the passenger side. No matter how much I adjusted the passenger door it would not shut right. Thanks to this post (got me thinking), I just decided to go to the garage and remove the weather stripping on the passenger door. Now it shuts and lines up perfect . I guess the previous owner had to thick of a seal on for it to close right. Now I have to get the right seals for both doors.

I was under my 50 Plymouth today and found a rust hole in the front end. It is not that big and is a little soft around it but the rest of the area is solid. Is it anything I should worry about? I put my hand up above where the hole is and there is about a half inch of dirt. I guess the dirt got wet over the years and caused the rust. Here is a pic, you can see the hole to the left of the pivot.

Michael where do you live? I see your area code is 516, that is Nassau County on Long Island.

True. Do I use gloss,semi gloss or flat black paint?

I ended up using a product made by permitex. It is a spray that neutralizes the rust and turns it black. I am still deciding if I should spray paint them black.

I don't think the right side should give me as much of a problem since I did have it off about a year ago. I will get at it once I fully recover from the left side.

I know a 50 Chevy emblem kinda looks like a upside down Plymouth emblem. Maybe they are trying to pass it off as one.

How much were they asking for it ? My wife would kill me, LoL.

When I first bought my 50 Plymouth the hood emblem was on upside down. I also see that on e-bay auctions or just random pics of Plymouth's. Is there a reason or do people not realize it is on upside down. Here is a pic when I first took the car home, look at the emblem

Its for the leaf springs cosmetic only (also do not want it to get worse). Will Rustoleum hold up to flexing?

I have some POR 15 left over should I use that or just get some rustoleum?

I was thinking that also. Maybe use boshield. It drys to a light waxey coating.

A few months ago I had my rear leaf springs replaced. When I was removing my rear drum I noticed alot of surface corrosion on them. The rust is very lite and will clean up with scotch bright. Should I just remove the rust and spray with a quality paint?What would you guys do?

When I removed the brake drum I only adjusted the minor brake adjustment. When I put the drum back on I adjust the minor adjustment till the pad hits the drum and back off till it no longer makes contact. Is that correct? I would like to do this to all of the brakes to compensate for wear.

Now I am wondering if I should try to take the right side off to inspect

Well I just finished jumping up and down and running around in circles in the garage (No joke). The hub is OFF!!!!!! :D:D:D. I borrowed a air compressor and some air tools from a friend. I tightened down the puller this time using grade 8 bolts nuts and washers. I used a long breaker bar to tighten the puller had to loosen it a few times to tighten the bolts. I heated the hub alot and tried using a air hammer on the hub while the puller was tight and it did nothing. Used a impact gun on the puller to get it as tight as possible and banged on the side of the hub and nothing happened. I was just about to give up and decided to try the sledge on the puller one more time. I banged on it about ten times each time harder and harder letting all of my frustration out on it. On the last hit BANG! It took me a little bit to realize that the hub popped off and not one of the bolts breaking. Here are some pics of the hub off you can see that I even bent the grade 8 bolts also look at the corrosion on the inside of the hub and on the spindle.

wayfarerstranger is going to be sending me a left rear drum with bolts. So things are starting to look good Now just have to worry about getting the hub off.
