    I couldn't get down there this year....looks like I missed a good show.

    Rodney, Were there a lot of people there or was the attendance light? Harold

    You have to push in on the trim ring around the handle (it's spring-loaded) and then there is a pin holding the handle to shaft. You then push the pin out with a small awl or even a nail (and be ready to catch it when it falls...). Harold

    Shel, I saw this thread and remembered that I signed up for HF's mailing list back in December and never received anything from them. The fact that I stuck the sign-up card into an overflowing box in the store may have had something to do with it....I worry that they all go in the garbage at that point. So, I just went to the website and signed-up there. Thanks for jogging my memory. Harold

    You may want to check local van converters to see what's available. I got the floor mat that was removed from a new Ford Econoline van. Not original pattern, but big enough to cut down. Harold

    I asked about larger Flat Rate boxes at my local Post Office a couple of weeks ago, after reading about it on this forum. The clerk said "you people know more about it than we do"! Sooooo....when is the intro date?

    For those that are interested, USPS rates are scheduled to increase May 12. Which means if you're sending any packages try to get them out before that date, and watch for S&H fees on eBay items to climb even higher. FWIW, I've noticed that S&H charges seem to have ratcheted up recently in response to the increase in eBay seller fees.

    The starting VIN's varied by series and assembly plant. The first three digits in the body tag were the body style number. So if the car is (for example) a 4-door '52 Cambridge, the VIN should be in the Cambridge sequence, and body number should correlate with what the car actually is. The engine number is supposed to be stamped on the frame near the left wheel. Like many other things Chrysler, nothing is cast in stone and there were inconsistencies.

    Sent you a note. Harold

    John, Way to go on the Dodge! Keep us posted on your progress. And don't neglect the Cranbrook...Plymouths have feelings too. Harold

    The process looks very similar to what the spray-on chrome franchises do. I'm saying this because a couple of years ago I got intro videos from two spray-on chrome manufacturers and they both used a water wash between coats like this one does. Probably to neutralize some chemical in the formula before clearcoating. I'd definitely consider this for re-doing pitted pot metal trim, especially since my cars are garage kept (garage entombed, these days!) so weathering would be less of a problem.

    All this talk about '50 Chryslers brought back a memory..... In the early seventies my friend's mother owned a 4-door '50 Chrysler...loaded with hydraulic power windows and several other options. It was in the family since new, and was wrecked and repaired at some point (a relative of theirs actually died in the collision). My friend and I went to different colleges and I met up with him during the summer of our freshman year. I asked what happened to the Chrysler, and he told me it needed a battery so his mother sold it for $50.!! I was very bummed.....

    You should be careful when scraping the tar-like sealer from older cars. I've heard they used asbestos as a filler material in them.

    I've never seen anything but rubber matting in any '49-'52 Plymouth, front or rear.

    Joe, Your floor looks great. Keep up the good work. What's the address of the body repair site you go to? Harold

    Didn't I.P. Daly write a book about the yellow river?

    If you can turn the engine so both the intake and exhaust valves are closed, maybe you can rig up a narrow nozzle on a shop vacuum and suck the debris out of there through the spark plug hole.

    Good to hear you're getting better. Before you know it, you'll dust off the tools and get back to the car. Harold

    I had Apple sleeve the master in my '52 back in the '90's. They are on Long Island not too far from my in-laws, so I dropped it off at their shop then had a relative pick it up after it was done. I, too, was impressed with the work.

    I heard you could reinforce speaker repairs by adding a small piece of toilet paper to the glued area.

    We're going to try to go. If I land a job I probably won't have vacation time, so that might change our plans.

    Condolences to you and yours. Harold

    In the early nineties, when I lived in New York, I found an old-time radiator shop where the guy soldered several leaks, then threw in a scoop of red powdered stop leak as insurance...all for $15. Drove the car several years after that with no problem. Too bad things don't work that way anymore.

    John: Speedy recovery. Harold

    Welcome to the board! It is an aftermarket hubcap. They couldn't put 'Dodge' on them due to trademark issues so they made them generic. Harold
