linus6948 Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 (edited) After a 13 month hiatus my D24 is back in service and on the road again. Through a tip I got here on the forum I was steered to Paskoreef Micro Restorations where I was able to buy a replacement carb from one of the nicest people I have ever dealt with. Then I got a rebuilt vacuum advance unit from Andy Bernbaum and got my Autolite IGS distributor working correctly again and the engine is running better than it ever has in the past. I have been playing catch-up and using the coupe as much as possible, I did not realize how much I missed driving her.

knuckleharley Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 That thing is SLICK! Does it have the original or original-style upholstery in it? If it does,could you post a few photos of the interior? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knuckleharley Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 Ok,now I know where I have been going wrong. My judgement when buying old cars obviously sucks. What I should have been doing all along was to get you to pick them out for me. I can't even begin to imagine finding an original 48 with original 48 upholstery that cleans up that good. Not even ONE piece of duct tape anywhere in sight! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That cleaner Tuff Stuff really is like "magic" in a can, I have been using it for years and can highly recommend it. My friends son just got his first truck and the cloth seats were filthy, with a lot of grease and rust stains. I stopped by with a new can of TS and a couple of old towels, I showed him the procedure and did the drivers bucket for him which was the dirtiest seat. It came out like brand new and I got to show a 16yr old that he did not know "everything", he actually smiled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
