Wow. Doing it twice to get it right. Dedication. Looks very nice.

both steel and brass tubes are available. Brass won't rust.

For photos I use www.hunt101.com. I find it much easier.

Found on the web. As mentioned earlier, there are three spark plug wires types: distributed resistance, inductance (MAG), and fixed resistor. Many American vehicles use distributed resistance spark plug wires. They’re made with fine strands of fiberglass impregnated with carbon. The carbon core creates very high resistance. Carmakers rely on that high resistance to reduce radio frequency interference (RFI) “noise” generated by normal ignition system operation. RFI not only ruins radio reception, but in severe cases it can interfere with the sensors and computers used to control the engine. That’s why it’s so important to buy the best spark plug wires you can afford. If your vehicle came equipped with distributed resistance wires, replace them with the same type. Japanese manufacturers like Honda, Acura, Toyota, and Lexus prefer inductance (MAG) style spark plug wires. MAG wires are made from a spiral wound core of copper/nickel alloy wire. The spiral winding creates a magnetic field that reduces RFI. MAG wires also have less electrical resistance, so they need less current to fire the spark plug. If your automotive ignition system was designed for MAG wires, you must use buy a set of premium spark plug wires of the same type when it’s time to replace them. Don’t install low resistance MAG wires on a vehicle designed for high resistance wires. Finally, some European cars use fixed resistor spark plug wires. These wires are made with steel or copper wire and include a resistor inside the spark plug boot. Once again, if you vehicle came with this style spark plug wire, replace them with premium spark plug wires of the same type.

Phoned Plymouth doctor to see if he had any floor panels for my 47 3 window. He has the front extensions only. He can get them if I send in my floor as a pattern. The address to send it to is Kempf's Rod and Restoration. When I called Kempf's last week his floor extensions were $60 higher then Plymouth Doctor's. Must be a big discount for volume.

Finally done blasting the coupe body inside and out. That took awhile. Now to blow all the dirt, dust, rust and sand off of and out of it.

Looks good Robert

nope

Don, if I was present when the 2nd photo was taken I'd keep my thoughts to myself and my mouth. If I wished to stay out of trouble.

I asked them for a photo of their 47 Dodge floorpans. He sent a bunch of photos of Plymouth parts instead. I'm going to try again.

here's a set included in the door weatherstripping. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Door-Weatherstrip-Set-for-1946-1948-Dodge-DeSoto-Chrysler-2-Door-/221363140991?hash=item338a45797f for a 49 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Door-WeatherStrip-Set-for-1949-1950-Dodge-DeSoto-Chrysler-/321035474883?fits=Make%3ADodge%7CModel%3AWayfarer

Joe I bought mine new off of Ebay about 5 months ago. He had them listed at $120 I offered $85 and he bit. 1946 -48 MOPAR DODGE DESOTO CHRYSLER DOOR HINGE PILLAR WEATHER STRIPPING MOPAR is how he had them listed.

Has anyone used any metal replacement panels from this place? Trying to find some floor pans and the vibes I'm getting on Plymouth Doctor's service and customer satisfaction aren't great although I've heard his parts are really good.

I've emailed kemp's to see if they make floorpans. I'll post the response.

email them to me and I'll get them on. mharrell@cpgh.org

I was just about to order some floor pans from him. Maybe I'll hold off.

I used aaj on my rear discs and scarebird on the front.

I don't think you can proceed until you identify the maker. Throw a photo of them up. Maybe someone can identify them for you.

who'd you buy them from. None use the same stuff.

cheaper most likely to source parts. Some if not all are available from napa, oreillys and or carquest.

Sorry can't stand most of today's kids. I'd be in a jail cell pretty quick I think

Car looks great. So you get laid off and your boss still pays you? Can I get hired on?

old wiring can always short out. Zero degrees isn't cold. Antifreeze will handle that easily. Your car your choice though.

no hoses. But I bought it used so I'm not sure if it does from AAJ or not.
