1947 Special Deluxe

[skchandler]

I just bought my first p15 and couldn't be happier. I'm looking for someone in the Orange county area that wouldn't mine giving it a good look over. The body is in nice shape I would like the engine and brakes, etc. Thanks for the help.

Welcome to the forum.  A lot of good information here from a lot of smart guys.  Wish I still lived in OC...Dallas is 80 degrees today, tomorrow down into the 20's..OUCH.  Good luck with your project..Greg

and in a few days it will be back to 80. Not so in PA or WI or the northern states

Well the OC is cold and rainy today. Glad I have to work and not miss out on working on the plymouth.

Congratulations on the purchase and welcome!

 

The profile photo looks like it's clean one. Is your '47 running? Hope you can post some more photos.

 

I'm not too far away (just north Cal Poly Pomona) but don't think I'd be much help unless you needed a hand pulling the water distribution tube (which I hope there isn't a need 'cause all is good engine wise)

 

But as a newbie, I'm in the same boat in wanting to have a set of more experienced eyes and ears, see and listen to my 52.

 

Maybe sometime in the not too distant future, there could be a coffee/breakfast get together in a central location for those of us in the IE/OC/LA area.

 

Good luck with your project.

 

Tony

I sure like the idea of a Sat. or Sun. morning coffee/breakfast get together for all in So Cal who could make it,....maybe even some from San Diego and/or Ventura.  I'd be more than happy to organize, figure a location and time and communicate to all.  For me it would have to be after Christmas and pretty much on Sundays until mid Feb.  I further propose that anyone with a drive-able car, do so or suffer a lot of flack   

Send me a note via this site or a PM (subject P-15 Coffee) and I will start the thought process

I think Tony has a great idea. I'm in the same boat as mrwrstory that until Jan my availability is limited since I'm in retail and the holidays are here. Let me know how I can help set it up. Mines running but want to fine tune somethings before running around town.

Welcome from Long Beach & congrats on the car. I don't know if I'd be much help, kinda new to the old Mopars also, but willing to help where I can. Reminds me of a saying:"I'm not a gynecologist, but I'll take a look at it"......anyways, for you local guys, a meet-up would be cool......count me in, schedule permitting.

[mrwrstory]

​Just had an inquiry if other old Mopars are welcome,....A B O S U L T E L Y!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Anyone who'd like to join us after the Holidays, please drop me a note.  I'm making a list.  

And,....let's start a new thread on this OT topic so's we don't hijack SKCHANDLER's original intro and question.  Check "SoCal Old Mopar Breakfast Cruise-In". 

[skchandler]

Thank you deathbound, got to spend a few hours really seeing what I bought. Still happy! I really don't mind the hijack it's going to be fun starting this.
