Thanks Todd...yes all the 46-48 Dodge was to have the tan column and wheel as is yours...I have not really crawled inside for a super inspection of my black column and wheel but one of our members did and swears that the paint looks factory as even the most obscure screw is not painted black..no overspray anywhere and no tan behind column clamp etc...

Glad to see you back on the project...I could tell when at Bob's house you were getting a bit of a fever to get back on the old car. Sometimes it takes a cruise in or tire kicking session to get the blood flowing again.

I have gotten a few small items taken care of and bagged away for final assembly since I got back from Indy.. I have boxes and boxes of stuff cleaned, painted etc. I had to build some hanging shelves to store it all. As I had all that unused room in the lift bay with the 13 foot ceiling..I just suspended my shelves..worked out real nice.

Right now keeping the lawn tractor up with new blades, blade hub bearings and such plus cutting lawn eats away a lot of my evening time. Maybe soon I can get more time to dedicate to the ole girl.

Todd;

This is the best pictured example I have seen to date of the incorrect way to use concrete blocks to support the weight of a car. I strongly suggest you invest in some good jack stands or find some wood blocks. Most anything would be better than what you are using.

I got to agree with Don. I had my taxi on a block like that in Hazlehurst Ga.

When I went back the block was split and car on ground. Nothing hurt but it is a weak support. I you think it is strong just hit it with a hammer and see what happens. When I was a kid -19- and working construction you caught hell if you dropped one of these- they just break.

The car did once sit 2 cinder blocks like that but Mr Vanbuskirk put an end to that by supplying me with wood blocks and a couple jack stands. The cars weight is supported by those outside of the pic. I have been using the brick to sit while scraping the old grease and dirt away from the grease points and I just threw it underneath there to get it out of the way and didnt think about it what it looked like when I took the photo last night. I DO appreciate you all looking out for me though. Thanks Tim. I didnt know Harbor Freight was that close.
