Public housing needs all the help it can get.

@49D-24BusCpe: Man, I have trunk envy. The 13 cubic feet doesn't cut it for me.

Maybe that is what I need to haul my photography gear? I can barely get one of my full size light stands in the trunk of a Club Coupe. Thanks for the "tip" @Plymouthy Adams

@greg g: dang. I want to be in your caravan! I'd definitely need to replace my flat rear springs if I had all that in the trunk of our P20

@belvedere: I've not installed mine yet either.

That is quite the paint job @Frank Elder

Hang in there @pflaming

Nice tricks. Thanks for sharing

That is a great looking engine && transport rack ain't bad either

Don't we all! Hang in there @Bingster I'm finishing up my wife's kitchen and the car projects have been put on hold -- I feel your pain. Congratulations on the new grandchild -- what number is this?

Man that sound awesome Tim. How much would you and he (Don???) be charging for that service? I suspect the experience is worth more than I paid for the car!!!

Very funny guys. Our friend's Mopar might be dying and here we are cracking jokes in his time of need. I always preferred to laugh at funerals. So, keep up the good work.

I feel faint. Think I'll go to the doctor.

@thebeebe5, that photo with all the transmission parts frightens me. My nightmare would be being presented with that table and being told that I couldn't leave until it is all back together and working. Ha

@fortymopar, it is good to have friends with nice workshops
-
That is really awesome @oldguy48. I'd love to see that car up close -- like in my driveway
-
Awesome Tim! @Plymouthy Adams
-
@homer41 I hope it goes well or went well

Awesome workshop there @fortymopar . I'd be happy just to have that floor somewhere.

@Mike36: When I opened it, it already had the grease versus the heavy gear oil. I did some research which said that yes, those tend to leak the oil, and that 'corn head grease' (or something like that was a better choice), so that that is what I added. I wish I knew more about my car's history. I bought it in February of 2017 from a person that bought it from an estate. My previous owner hadn't done much besides complete the exterior trim work and changed the steering tie rods. Supposedly the estate owner had done the body restoration.

Welcome @Satyr when I got my 1950 P20, it wandered some. I tightened the steering gear and it helped lots. Follow the steering down to that box. Remove that center cap nut and then the star shaped lock washer. Use a straight screwdriver to change how the gears mesh together. Don't over tighten or it causes them to wear out sooner and it can also make it hard to turn. Adjust looser to get the star lock washer to align and then reattach the cap nut. The plug to the left of center is for grease. Seems to me I have some corn planter grease in mine.

That is an awesome pair of wiring panels. Do you even have the starter solenoid back there?

I looked in my manual for the procedure, but couldn't find it. Do NOT torque. Tighten enough to to prevent wobble and just barely slowing free rotation of the wheel. Line up the castle nut with the hole so that you can insert the cotter pin
