oldodge41 Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 Hi all, I have been lurking around for a couple weeks. I really like the atmosphere here. I have a 1941 Dodge Business Cpe, it is a D-19 but alot of the stuff is the same as the D-24/P-15 from what I see here. It was a barn find 20 years ago that my Dad and I fixed up from pretty sad shape. Came a long way. Been very reliable in stock configuration. I've been fighting brake problems the last couple years off and on, master cylinder and wheel cylinders. The most recent is a rear brake drum that broke. It has had a chip in the outer edge that I have watched for years and it has now developed into a crack. Couldn't find a reasonably priced replacement and I have wanted to change rear gears for a long time so I am in the process of installing an 8.8 Explorer rear. I am not modding anything that I can't return to completely stock in the future if I decide I want to, but for now, economics dictate that if I want to keep driving it I have to use more modern (cheaper) parts to keep it going. I'm ok with that as long as what I do is reverse-able if I get the originality bug. I have entertained thoughts of street rodding it in the past but always decide that it is too cool as is. Fluid Drive and all. you just can't buy 'em like that anymore! My name is Tim and I am from Pennsylvania. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg g Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 My 46 coupe was originally purchased from a dealer in Belle Fonte, I bought it in 1970 from the original owner, when I was working at Penn State. The owner lived on Frunace Rd in Lamar, PA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
