    Kinda like a terd with the taper removed from the ends.

    Post #2 and #5 pretty well sum up my feelings. We use to get a race board up at work every week hand throw 10 bucks in the pot. When you've got some money on a race it does make it a bit more exciting.

    I remember years ago when the battery powered impacts were first being offered. I thought how much easier and faster it would make my job. I knew at the time then they didn't have the torque I needed and the prices were pretty high. I knew technology would get better and eventually prices would get more reasonable. I think I'm about ready to buy now, just down to which brand. I'm getting more and more into making things easier on me when I work on things. Should have had this mentality years ago but finances have dictated some choices.

    I love finding treasures in old cars and trucks. I like what you've found, I like the Enfield coozie too (coors ain't for me tho). A few things I have found in my 46 Plymouth and parts cars. Found a neat barlow pocket knife made by Imperial down in the fender. Some neat plastic toys, motorcycles, army men, mercury dime, wheat back pennies. The 5 man coupe parts car I bought from a local junkyard that was crushing out had an old gasoline powered washing machine engine and a nice model A dash in the trunk.

    I've used this same gun in an industrial environment for 12yrs. The gun was rarely oiled, maybe 20times to date. It still works great and seems as strong as new. Its a 1/2" drive gun. Used 3/4 drive sockets on it often with adapter. I have dropped it, abused it and asked a lot from it. It's light and ergonomic. When I left my old job I brought it home and it seems to do more with less air than my old craftsman. My old craftsman is a good gun and one like it can be found cheap but the IR 231C composite has my vote for the best gun ive used.

    I would buy it but its missing a couple trim pieces that would be hard to find.

    looks really nice, hope it runs great.

    Could paint it yellow, make it look like a block of cheese. Put Green Bay stickers on it, drive it to the home games. Or make look like sponge bob.

    Wonder if it would "whistle" maybe some how you could play it like a flute? Lol

    Years ago there was a 39 or 40 ford a guy did a really good patina paint job on that was in Hot Rod mag. He painted rust and stains on it. The kicker was it was a fiberglass body. Its really hard to fake it and it turn out right.

    My experience has been to disconnect the battery, have the battery cables where they don't touch anything. Make sure there are no fumes, flammable sources, fabrics, grease, etc. Have an extinguisher ready just in case. Use your own judgement, be safe. This is how I roll, may not be for everyone. Muffler shops that I've seen don't even disconnect the battery when welding tail pipes.

    ...was it Festus?

    Totally agree, I was just making the point the condition of the driver seat reflects low miles.
  14. Flatie46
    Couldn't tell if it's 32 or 82.
  15. Flatie46
    I'm thinking the interior is possibly original, I can't say for sure but under the clutter the driver seat doesn't even appear to be torn or stitches busted . I can't make out the miles but from the pics it represents as a low mile car also. Kinda makes you wonder why this car was parked. This would be a great project, love the body style of this model. Seems like your lucky day to me.

    Neatly gift wrap a box of dog **** and send it to him. Tell him they're brownies and to enjoy since he was so honest with the description.

    I think you could get your money back out of that car should you decide to. The body and frame are rock solid on a '39...yea they don't make 'em anymore and though Mopars of this era don't bring as much as say a 39 ford they'll only appreciate. I've always wanted to feel good about what I bought, if I paid too much that was ok as long as what I bought was what I wanted. My suggestion, vent if need be. Take a little time and step back decide if this is a car you want to fix. If it is let the issues go and go at it whole heartedly. If not the want ads on this forum would be a good place to list it. I hope you keep it and fix it, good luck.

    Glad your making progress, like the Ural by they way.

    I love the idea of this, I hope you pursue it. I made an adapter to put a T5 to my Flat 6 but never followed through with it. Some on the forum seem pessimistic about the T5 swap but I have asked several people that have actually done it, none have been disappointed. I'll be following this thread for sure, good luck with it.

    I didn't realize Babbitt was a precious metal???

    Nice truck, I have a strong affection for the heavy duty 3/4 ton's and bigger. A short bed is sportier but a long bed will haul more and an often over looked benefit is that they ride better. I know your F250 will ride a bit firm compared to the same thing in a half ton but I like that. As far as 4dr cars I really think the rear suicide doors of the P-15's are cool. I like coupes but some cars it wouldn't matter 2 or 4dr and I may even prefer a 4dr. Right off the top of my head, a 72 and earlier Imperial, pretty much any Hudson and a 61 to 65 Lincoln .

    Wow, that has to be a rare bird!
  23. Flatie46
    Was the town sedan offered in the Plymouth body, 46, 47 and 48?
  24. Flatie46
    Funny how years later a coupe is worth more when you actually get more with a 4dr. Same deal with short and long bed trucks, used short beds bring more $$.
  25. Flatie46
    I like that. I guess I'm odd but I like to see all my old parts and examine them. I usually do all my own work but in some instances I farm something out that's something I ask for. My wife's newer stuff I really don't reach any level of satisfaction working on so it goes to the dealer and saves my spare time for my junk. I mean fine vintage autos, trucks and motorcycles.
