Sorry. Unlike some others, I forgot a small detail in my original reply and didn't realize some one would scrutinize and take it so (too?)...
One last time: the threads on original (vintage) Chrysler b-js and these "modern" components OP is dealing with were more than likely NOT done...
Damn, I wish I could've made it. Had great(?) plans to do this in conjunction with couple of other long distance events, but unfortunately bunch...
So, apparently we're not even working on a vintage Chrysler or anything HAMB appropriate. I apologize for having wasted both of our time.
Simple question ? Not only has it likely been answered, but if you're not able deal with litany of "Fly shit and pepper" perhaps reconsider...
In a attempt to lessen already apparently excessive confusion this thread (no pun intended) has created, it might be a good idea to clarify that...
Might help if OP told us what year and model Chrysler ball-joints are beign discussed and/or whether we're talking about the threads on the b-j...
+ 10.52 !!! Jim, I don't follow much racing, but you definitely seem to qualify for a real, old school, vintage (gentleman) racer if I ever heard...
Thanks Stogy. I like (almost) all vintage cars, regardless of makes or models, but obviously prefer ones that are fully usable as intended and...
I realize I'm biased, but having owned and driven a lot different vintage cars, including many Exner-era MoPars, I tend to agree with this "moose"...
<------- PB Sport Roadster I built to her second* Hot Rod iteration about 30 years ago, using +/- 90% of early '50s period correct Chrysler...
May I suggest obtaining a copy of Don Montgomerys "HOT RODS IN THE FORTIES". It will provide enough photo documented evidence you seek. P.S. In...
Wow, must say I didn't see that coming. :confused: OP apparently meant himself with the thread title. o_O
"SEEMS NOT EVERYONE LIKES TRADITIONAL !!!" Of course not ! :( Why do you think everything Made in China, Online or Walmart shopping has become...
Not that I really care, but that must something close to what those modern day lowriders and p**p-mobiles have when they attempt to blow eardrums...
Sorry gimpy, didn't really mean to get you riled up. :( Just forgot to add appropriate signs of sarcastic humor, I guess. :D P.S. After having...
So, not building a (traditional or otherwise) hot rod, I gather ?
I had hoped same for the entire (OT) thread, but as you say ...
FIFY ;)
+1 Some solid, practical advise right there... ... to which I'd like to add that don't rush to finalize any upholstery decisions or work until...
HRP, you forgot tell us what kind of wheels or more specifically where were they made ? I hope the answer is not disappointing.
Perfect for museums, trailer-queens and other "show only" cars. ;)
P.S. (Apologies for OT content) Little over a year ago I bought what is or was likely one of the last available "new" ('16 model) full size...
HRP and others "surprised" about this, I hate to break it to you, but this is nothing new, specific to "your area" or even limited to tires. One...
I agree. Just did it (again) two weeks ago Saturday night, but for spirited, hot rodding type driving pleasure in the same area, Laureless Grade...
I would suggest defining "love to drive my cars" to yourself, as in drive them locally for short distances or long distance (a full day or more)...
Very cool Ben. :cool: Beautiful roads and scenery. Obviously great reasons to stay away from "conveyor belts". Thanks for sharing, especially...
Goal posts gaining legs again ?
No.
If that primer is old enough, it might be heavy commercial/industrial quality primer/filler and may contain lead and/or other similar (toxic ?)...
