  1. Did some searching on the forum, but didn't see much. Front seat on my P-15 seems to sit a little low, not sure if I'm just dealing with worn out seat springs or if there's a trick to get it to sit up a bit higher. Wondered how everyone else's sits? Seems like it is getting harder to see over that big steering wheel. Maybe it's just me though. Thanks for any info.
  2. It's an aftermarket steering wheel. Fatman mustang II front suspension with rack and pinion.
  3. Check out this thread. http://p15-d24.com/topic/32694-dual-carb-linkage-kit/ I used a kit from Pierce manifolds. With a quick search I see they still have kits available. Pics of my setup are in the thread above. https://www.piercemanifolds.com/category_s/223.htm
  4. Which weekend is it? Probably too much going on to get away, but I can always entertain the idea of going. ? If nothing else, the Friday night parking lot party is worth the trip!
  5. Yep pretty sure that was me. I painted a fulton sunvisor with satin black, when I walked out of the garage I figured I'd be stripping that visor back down and repainting, as it was covered in orange peel. next morning it was satin black and no imperfections. Suprised me.
  6. I used the Satin Black and sprayed it with success. It lays on thick and orange peely, but once it dries overnight, it lays down nicely. Haven't sprayed the gloss colors, so not sure how you would get it right.
  7. Yes I used this same trick to paint the bumper letters on my dodge last year, except I used a cheap razor blade knife, some good masking tape, and some rustoleum spray paint.
  8. Rear springs were pretty easy to install actually. Air tools are very helpful for this activity. Now the front suspension replacement isn't terrible, but takes a bit more patience. You will be taking apart stuff that most likely hasn't been touched for 70 years.
  9. Car looks great! I really love that interior, can't go wrong with Cardinal red. I hear the same stuff about the 350 in my dodge, but funny thing is if I leave the hood shut no one says a word. You have any plans to travel with it this summer?
  10. Actually the material WLS makes these headliners out of are top quality, and do not get wrinkled really easy. The small wrinkles I had I noticed a few days of sitting the car out in the sun took care of them. Now if we are talking about a vinyl headliner that may be a different story. I'm not sure I'd have the courage to do one of those. If you can get a helper as well that will make the job much easier. When you are at the back window stapling away trying to get everything tight, it's good to have a guy at the front to tell you if you've pulled too far.
  11. Any of the above. In the pool would be interesting though, but not recommended.
  12. How about your car next to a swimming pool?
  13. Everything is bigger on the D-24.
  14. My garage kind of has the same view from the rear.
  15. This is the stuff I use in my R-10. I ordered some from Fifth Ave and this is what they sent me. So from now on I just go to my local Napa and order it.
  16. I won't be able to make it to the WPC meet this year, but I'm pulling for you or Mark to take the P-15 specific Lois and Chuck Jensen award home, and keep the forum streak of P-15's alive for 2016. I was lucky enough to win the award last year in Springfield. Really enjoyed my time with you all last year. Wishing you guys safe travels and a lot of fun!
  17. Actually with using synthetic oil in my engines, the results I had was it slowed down the leaks. Others had told me the same thing. I had never heard of draining the od and refilling it every 5000 miles, but I could see where it would be a good idea, even though that oil isn't cheap. Although an od repair ain't cheap either.
  18. Yeah mine leaks a bit too, but I check it and top it off at least once a year. Did it have any symptoms leading up to the failure, or just quit?
  19. Drive it, if you don't you will wish you did.
  20. The bottom picture on your post above is how the weather strip on my 47 is installed, and I bought it from Roberts as well.
