Are you referring to ELON Musk?

ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS WORK!!!!!!!

Hi Tim, I want to keep your kind thought going! HAPPY 92ND BIRTHDAY to GEORGE ASCHE JR on this 6Feb24 date!!!!!! Regards, Walt Redmond Kingman AZ

FarmerJon, EXCELLENT SCORE!!! Do a search on this website for "Don Coatney". Don contributed a LOT of excellent information here on his build/conversion of a 25" engine into a P-15 PLymouth. Walt

Not a problem! Let's get back to talking about Mopar flatheads!

1) Ken's "Tiki Bar" was built behind HIS HOUSE, by HIM! 2) HE SPENT approximately $200, as the majority of the materials were given to him by friends. 3) The fence separates our golfing community from the BLM land in the background. 4) OPINIONS and INCORRECT ASSUMPTIONS often don't speak well about their source. By the way, ARE YOU OKAY??????

YEAH! With a typical 5 mph breeze, 5% humidity, and 15-20 degree nightly temperature swing, and a 'misting' system; It's worked out beautifully!!!!

Oh, Ken's Tiki Bar upgrades were very kool, although we did go inside after just one!

I got a call on Friday from my buddy Ken, to come over and check out some enhancements he had made to his Tiki Bar. Now mind you, this was the hottest day of the year so far in Kingman! What the heck, so I drove "Fatso" over to Ken's. Absolutely no problems, and it was 108 in the shade there.

HCD, Your '48 New Yorker Business Coupe is a very neat and rare car! Get ALL the electrical straightened out, and in particular the transmission. There are guys on this site, who can guide you through the hurdles. Walt

I'm always amazed at how sharp you guys are in spotting details. If you want me to elaborate on the why and how some things were done, I can! Fatso's powerplant is a '90 DeVal, which is an enhanced Chrysler Industrial IND-32. Yes, it is a 25" long-block!

Don, Yes, Chrysler Industrial did make Flathead 8-cylinder engines. I saw a Bay City shovel with one a few years ago! Walt

Swanny, The plate that you have been examining on your '48 Dodge is referred to as the "Body Serial Number Plate". That is all that it is - just the serial number of the body. There is no reference to the Car Serial (often called the VIN) Number, the Engine Number, or anything else. Dodge Division calls the D-24 Business Coupe a "Dodge De Luxe Three-Passenger Coupe". I believe that your Body Serial Plate actually reads "26044TPC". The "TPC" stands for Three Passenger Coupe. Your '48 D-24 was assembled in Los Angeles CA. My California built '49 Dodge Business Coupe was assembled in San Leandro CA during early '49. It's Body Serial Number is "27536TPC". It's a very late production vehicle, as the last D-24 Business Coupe's Body Number was "27600TPC"! It should be noted, that all the California assembled D-24 Business Coupe's bodies were made in the Detroit area, and shipped to the west coast. Walt Redmond Kingman AZ

Res Ipsa Loquitur Do a "DeVal 265 Replaces 230" inquiry on this site's search engine!
