Howard Tarnoff Posted June 9, 2016 Report Posted June 9, 2016 Congrats Don, if there is a spare 12 Volt overdrive solenoid in the trunk I would love to buy it. My 49 is off the road again, the hold winding is a dead short. Quote
Don Coatney Posted June 9, 2016 Author Report Posted June 9, 2016 Congrats Don, if there is a spare 12 Volt overdrive solenoid in the trunk I would love to buy it. My 49 is off the road again, the hold winding is a dead short. Thanks for the congrats. No 12 volt stuff on this car. It is all 6 volt Quote
Don Coatney Posted June 9, 2016 Author Report Posted June 9, 2016 It is amazing what a dab of primer can do. The primer is a tad too white so I will take it back for more black tint. 3 Quote
pflaming Posted June 9, 2016 Report Posted June 9, 2016 A good rub with a Brillo pad may have done the same thing and then the car would have remained original. Some just can't leave well enough alone. Quote
rb1949 Posted June 9, 2016 Report Posted June 9, 2016 Mr. FixIt is at it already. What will your new topic be called. Got pix of the interior? Quote
Don Coatney Posted June 9, 2016 Author Report Posted June 9, 2016 Replaced the spark plugs today and did a compression check. 105# to 115# across the board. Stromberg carburetor that does not appear to evaporate gas like the B&B's do. 2 Quote

Don Coatney Posted June 17, 2016 Author Report Posted June 17, 2016 Tagged and ready to roll. My once again thanks to Forum member Niel Hoback for supplying the matched pair of 1948 tags. I still need to make a bracket for the front tag. 2 Quote
Dan Hiebert Posted June 17, 2016 Report Posted June 17, 2016 Out of curiosity, can you register your antique vehicles with the year of manufacture plate numbers and plates in Indiana? I could in New Mexico, Michigan, and New York, but here in Maine you can't. BUT, you get a regular antique vehicle registration, and you can display serviceable front and rear y.o.m. plates and carry your current plates in the car with you to show the police if you get pulled over. I've already got y.o.m. plates for the Terraplane (surprisingly easy to find), but not for the Dodge, yet. Quote
Don Coatney Posted June 17, 2016 Author Report Posted June 17, 2016 In Indiana I must carry the antique plate in the car but it is legal to drive with YOM tags and they are co registered with the antique tags. Tennessee was the same way. Quote

knuckleharley Posted July 4, 2016 Report Posted July 4, 2016 And a new headliner. Don,I can understand why you would want to toss the carpet in the floor and maybe replace the bad fitting seat covers,but what's wrong with that headliner? BTW,you can count me in as someone that HATES carpets in both cars and houses. Give me a hard flat surface that doesn't hold water that I can just sweep and wipe down anytime. Quote
knuckleharley Posted July 4, 2016 Report Posted July 4, 2016 In Indiana I must carry the antique plate in the car but it is legal to drive with YOM tags and they are co registered with the antique tags. Tennessee was the same way. In NC you can drive around with the YOM plates on your car with no problem,as long as you have the current plates registered to the car inside to show to the police. The YOM plates are not registered here to you or to anyone else. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted July 4, 2016 Report Posted July 4, 2016 it would be odd not to have the YOM cross linked to the normal registeration plate what happens in case of a hit or run or other drive away infraction where the YOM is read/collected for identification on a police report... Quote

This is NC,where odd is the state standard. Quote

I did not say it needs a new headliner. I said it HAS a new headliner. Also the carpet and seat covers stay. Quote

Sorry,I thought you were going to replace it and was wondering why. As for the carpet and seat covers,if they make you happy,I am happy for you. Don is the only one you have to please. Quote
