pflaming Posted January 23, 2019 Author Report Posted January 23, 2019 Inner fenders repaired and painter yesterday, the doghouse goes on today, then full engine bay wire comment. The dash is prewired and tested, so much has already been done. Quote
pflaming Posted January 23, 2019 Author Report Posted January 23, 2019 Dash is ready to be connected to items. 2 Quote
pflaming Posted January 25, 2019 Author Report Posted January 25, 2019 Fenders, grille bars, hood now loosely on. Will get help to fit and tighten down Quote
RNR1957NYer Posted January 25, 2019 Report Posted January 25, 2019 I think I commented awhile back, but its worth restating: I do like your grille treatment! 1 Quote
Big Aubs Posted January 25, 2019 Report Posted January 25, 2019 After going back through this whole topic start to finish, its been a real treat to see how someone with such dedication end with something they can be truly proud of! Making me antsy to get my 53 done, PF you have been a great inspiration! Keep up the great work and I look forward to the progress on the Flaming Burbon! Quote
pflaming Posted January 25, 2019 Author Report Posted January 25, 2019 My octogenarian body needed a respite today. I did get the bumper and loosely positioned. And I'm adding connecting bolts from the doghouse to the body. Will likely paint the bumper to match the doghouse. Since i cant have another cat, I got me a fire guard rooster. Quote

DJ194950 Posted January 25, 2019 Report Posted January 25, 2019 Just for a second while just seeing the title of the EBay post -I thought that it might be for some new type spray can paint that make Patina to use on your wagon! ? Boy I hope that these cars will now sell for that price! Things looking up for Mopar sellers? Hope all is well with you Paul!! ? DJ Quote
pflaming Posted January 26, 2019 Author Report Posted January 26, 2019 This is the Suburban I'm rebuilding. I paid $350 for it. I bought it for a parts car! I think it was in better shape then, than the Dodge on eBay today. 1 Quote
pflaming Posted January 27, 2019 Author Report Posted January 27, 2019 The bumper, painted will look quite good. This is just primer. Quote
pflaming Posted January 27, 2019 Author Report Posted January 27, 2019 Yesterday I noticed that the inner fender requires an extended, removable side panel. This probably to allow access to adjusting the valves. Does someone have a picture of this panel. I bought this doghouse, a 54 model, and the panel is missing. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted January 27, 2019 Report Posted January 27, 2019 tell me you just did not paint over an old military base decal on that bumper.... 1 Quote
casper50 Posted January 27, 2019 Report Posted January 27, 2019 Looks like it's taped over to me. I would have removed it. Had a few on my bumpers in the past. Don't mean enough to me to keep one on a bumper. lol Quote
pflaming Posted January 27, 2019 Author Report Posted January 27, 2019 (edited) Tim, no that decal is priceless. To paint over it would, in my opinion be disgraceful to my military friends. In hindsight if I had the military decision to make, I would have tried to become a Seabee! I'm serious about that. No, disrespect to Casper, career military person.

pflaming Posted January 28, 2019 Author Report Posted January 28, 2019 The '53 Dodge Suburban on eBay just sold for $9900.00! Incredible. Quote
Dodgeb4ya Posted January 28, 2019 Report Posted January 28, 2019 Then I think my 1953 Savoy wagon is worth $3000.00 Good old E-pay... home of the good deals. Quote

Paul if you can wait until the end of the day, I have my inner fenders off in the garage and readily available if you are still interested in the removable side panel? 1 Quote
pflaming Posted January 28, 2019 Author Report Posted January 28, 2019 (edited) BA, I've got lots of time? TKS my fender is a '54 model. Edited January 28, 2019 by pflaming Quote
Big Aubs Posted January 28, 2019 Report Posted January 28, 2019 PF, I believe they should be quite similar between the 53 & 54 but I could be mistaken. Oh and i may be delayed until tomorrow as we are supposed to get 8-10 inches of fresh powder today and then the temp is supposed to drop out the bottom of the thermometer (-11 for a high)... oh to be someplace warm right now haha - BA - Quote
casper50 Posted January 28, 2019 Report Posted January 28, 2019 It's 30 F above here in Alaska BA. lol Quote

Don't be surprised if it magically re-appears in the near future. Lots of shill bidding and deadbeat bidders make eBay interesting. Quote
pflaming Posted January 29, 2019 Author Report Posted January 29, 2019 (edited) Lots of shill bidding and deadbeat bidders make eBay interesting. please define shill and deadbeat. I would guess those are really non buyers. Shill is a person who is hawking to drive up the price. Not surprising, so how does a buyer and seller know? Edited January 29, 2019 by pflaming Quote
pflaming Posted January 29, 2019 Author Report Posted January 29, 2019 Some years ago we went to Germany and London and too our 10 year old boy (keith) along. We were staying beach side and one Suday afternoon he strolled the beach. Later that day, we were driving along said beach and my wife noted to her mother the topless sunbathers . Keith responds, "I was on that beach, this person in front of me turned and faced me, Boy, he sure didn't look like Glenn ( his older brother)! That said, your pics need to be studied along side the car, because, "They sure don't look . . . " Quote
