Jim Yergin Posted June 11, 2011 Report Posted June 11, 2011 Really looking good Joe. You sure have come a long, long way. Jim Yergin Quote
Bingster Posted June 11, 2011 Report Posted June 11, 2011 Wow! Looking great, Joe. Your long past that bad engine experience and looks close, egh? Have you got the chrome all done? Quote
1940plymouth Posted June 11, 2011 Report Posted June 11, 2011 Looking good, won't be long now and you'll be able to enjoy driving it:) Quote
Don Coatney Posted June 11, 2011 Report Posted June 11, 2011 (edited) You are making progress! I dont know if I can say the same for Rodney. His thumb is still stuck in his ear:rolleyes: Edited June 11, 2011 by Don Coatney Quote
Joe Flanagan Posted June 12, 2011 Author Report Posted June 12, 2011 (edited) Cracked me up, Don. Looks like old Rodney does have his thumb in his ear in that picture. Thanks for the compliments, guys. If I don't have any serious setbacks, It will be able to move on its own power before the month is out. Brakes would be helpful, I guess. Bingster, I got all my chrome on e-bay. I doubt I spent 400 bucks and it's all pretty nice. Minor pitting, etc. but polished out, it's really nice. You have to get right on top of it to see the imperfections. That's fine with me. Going to a chrome shop would have broken the bank. I just couldn't do it. The "Special Deluxe" script you see in one of the pictures was about 20 bucks and new right out of the box. It's absolutely perfect. If you look around long enough, you will find what you need. I think e-bay is a great way to go for chrome. Edited June 12, 2011 by Joe Flanagan Quote
55 Fargo Posted June 12, 2011 Report Posted June 12, 2011 Looks Great Joe, keep on truckin........... Quote
1947PLEVY Posted June 12, 2011 Report Posted June 12, 2011 It looks as if Rodney is scratching his head trying to figure out what you did.. Great progress on your car Joe and it looks GREAT... Bet you can't wait to Cruise in it...John Quote
Alshere59 Posted June 12, 2011 Report Posted June 12, 2011 Joe that is coming along really nice. I do have a question on the radiator cap. Is that a pressure release on it? I didn't think yours would be set up as a pressurized system. Quote
Chester Brzostowski Posted June 12, 2011 Report Posted June 12, 2011 Joe, Nice job your car is looking very road worthy. Are you going to stop by the Sully show on Father's Day ?? Chet... Quote
Joe Flanagan Posted June 12, 2011 Author Report Posted June 12, 2011 Chet, I'll see if I can talk the Wifey into it. She probably would like to go. Are you going to be there? Also, we're going to be scouting out some neighborhoods around Philadelphia for places to live post-retirement. Since we'll be up in the Delaware area maybe we could cross paths. I'd like to see your car. We're thinking of a long weekend sometime in the next few weeks. Quote
Joe Flanagan Posted June 12, 2011 Author Report Posted June 12, 2011 You are making progress! I dont know if I can say the same for Rodney. His thumb is still stuck in his ear:rolleyes: Actually, in that picture of me and Rodney, I was showing him the second hand welder I got from forum member Tony Urwin. It looked like it wouldn't last a week, but it performed well over several years of hard, dirty work and some serious abuse from me. It's still going strong. Some of it is literally held together with duct tape, as you can see. Quote
