thats funny stuff

i was just going to do the same thing but i found a place that sells my filter for a decent price. although not as cheap as a spin on. they also told me the same thing about not all the oil going through it because the way the block is desighned. so im leaving mine with the setup its got and i will change the filter every once a year till i cant get them cheap enough

rebuilt the carb, cleaned out and painted the gas tank and made some tank straps but they are a bit to long so i will have to shorten them. got a new 6 volt battery and new battery cables. hopefully i can get her started tomorrow. the rear springs are incredibly shot, the worst i have ever seen so i will be ordering those soon. got a universal radiator from speedway that i will have to make fit yet and do the breaks yet to.

try making one of these. http://www.homemadetools.net/pneumatic-rusted-screw-remover

thanks

yup. got the title to. i was thinking of getting this book. http://www.speedwaymotors.com/Book-The-Official-12-Volt-Conversion-Guide,2867.html not sure what i would have to do to convert to a 12 volt negative ground. i want a newer radio and bright head lights because i plan on driving her to watch races at the local track and they dont get done till well after dark

guess i better not use the phone in dim light or its my editing skills to lower the quality and size so it will load. would my car be a 6 volt negative ground? it has a generator on it that i assume is 6 volt. i plan to get a manual but i havent orderd one yet

i tried any way i could. even tried to lift them but they dont move. anyways here are a few more pix. the last one is the barn i pulled it out of

put some marvels mistery oil down the cylinders on friday and saturday i got her freed up. im pretty stoked about that. when i first got the car i sat in it and shut the doors but i couldnt open the front doors from inside. does anybody know how to unlock this? am i missing something or do i have to break into the door?

i did look but no luck. they said if they found it they would let me know and since i work with the lady it should be easy to remember

the last pic for today

more pix

its pretty good. the wife just got some artsy fartsy stuff but i will put those up. headliner has a mouse hole in it and it smells that way to, but thats not a surprise

Lol. Thats ok. I do the samething. So since it was to long for the lean to i made a temperary garage for it. Git a 10x20ft canopy and put it on a pallet floor that i covered with some scrap plywood sheets i got from work. Dont put one of those together if theres any wind what so ever by the way

heres a pic of my car

you are correct. i was having issues with pix on my phone but the wife got some today with the camera. i will look and see what i can find

although i think it might be a 41 because of the way the hood opens. mostly complete but missing the radiator. the wife and i have been wanting a project car and i had been asking around but i wanted a mid 30s something or other but a lady i work with had this car that was her dads that was sitting in there barn when he passed, i looked at it before and was going to trade my camper for it but passed and she never sold it so after a couple years i picked it up today. had to plow a path to the barn and got the ol geo tracker plow truck stuck. yes i said a geo tracker. then i went and got a trailer to get her home, measured the car and its 3in to long to fit in my lean to so tomorrow i plan to take off the bumpers to get her inside. im thinking i will free up the flathead and fix the breaks and she will be a rat for now. the plan is to put duel carbs and headers with duel exhaust, some fat white walls and lower it a couple inches. i havent decided on fish tails or lake pipes but i do want to keep her old school but it might get a v8 if the motor stays frozen. very simular to this one but no fender skirts/fillers a guess you would call them but maybe a visor http://www.killbillet.com/showthread.php?38122-1941-Dodge-Luxury-Liner
