Robin (UK) Posted October 23, 2011 Report Posted October 23, 2011 It's exciting to hear about more of these great cars finding their way to the UK. There'll be another P15 coming in very soon - It's a bit of a secret at the moment, but watch this space for news. A few of us are now talking about organising a 'P15 Picnic' next spring/summer. Just an informal get-together. We will let the Dodge, Desoto and Chrysler boys join us... as long as they bring cake!!! Let me know if you're interested (Robin@RockTheJoint.com) Quote

MoparAl- Posted November 11, 2011 Report Posted November 11, 2011 Well after waiting two months to get my P15 the car is at the port here in the UK but i CANT pick it up cos its infested with Black Widow Spiders !!!!!! Now ive got to pay to have it fumigated and wait two more weeks !!!!!! Quote
Robin (UK) Posted November 11, 2011 Report Posted November 11, 2011 Same thing happened with Mickey's 48 Olds... But nobody knew until it was at North American Motor Co in Hampshire, for some upgrades and repairs. The guys went to go to work one day and all the spiders had hatched from under the seats!!! Quote
MoparAl- Posted November 11, 2011 Report Posted November 11, 2011 I wish they hadnt of seen the spiders cos now the fumigation affects metal and kills copper therefore they expect severe damage to electrical motors/components ! Go !t to look for another way if there is one ! Help Quote
Robin (UK) Posted November 11, 2011 Report Posted November 11, 2011 Try calling Billy at North American and see if he can suggest anything. Tell him Robin (from the Rhythm Riot) told you about Mickey's Olds. 01252 515750 Good luck. R. Quote
T120 Posted November 11, 2011 Report Posted November 11, 2011 ...Sorry to hear about your problem with spiders.Do they not sell Raid "Spider Blaster" or a similar product where you are? Quote
PatS.... Posted November 12, 2011 Report Posted November 12, 2011 Put the car in a sea can and run the engine for an hour or two...should take care of spiders and anything else in the car. Where did the spiders come from...the boat or SF? Glad we don't get bugs and critters like that here...too damn cold! Quote
MoparAl- Posted November 13, 2011 Report Posted November 13, 2011 Hi guys, problem with the spiders is the guys at the docks wont unload my car from the container until the fumigation is done ! Anyway ive been to the UK National Exibition Centre yesterday where there is the end of season classic car show, saw a nice P15 Coupe, shame the owner wasnt there. Wish mine was as nice ! Shaun hows yours getting on ? Quote

MoparAl- Posted January 3, 2012 Report Posted January 3, 2012 Wow Shaun, nice floor job, mine is starting to show the ugly rust head, i thought it was only a small amount but its started to grow, Lol, yours is looking about the same stage as mine, will have to meet up come spring at one of the diner meets, Al Quote
Rusty O'Toole Posted January 4, 2012 Report Posted January 4, 2012 Why do you want to "alter the wiring to 12 volt"? Quote
Andydodge Posted January 4, 2012 Report Posted January 4, 2012 Great job on the floor.......btw regarding the fuel economy figures, US gallons aren't as big as Imperial gallons, so when those Yanks say 15-17 miles per gallon.........in the Commonwealth....lol.......that would be maybe 17-18 mpg..........andyd Quote
hemsbydodge Posted January 12, 2012 Author Report Posted January 12, 2012 (edited) At last, all the tin cancer has finally left the vehicle, i cut it out today and replaced it with nice new steel .1.2 mm cold rolled steel. so now i can finish off the old car and get it on the road! heres a few pictures shaun Edited January 12, 2012 by hemsbydodge spelling Quote
