Hey all! It's been a while since I've been on the HAMB, but I'm back under the hood and have lots of new questions. The nice thing about taking...
LOVE IT! Beautiful job so far! And extra points for original power plant. :D
#3 Jumped out at me too! Can't put my finger on it either. Am I seeing things, or are there a few rows of tasteful louvers in the hood? :D...
Ditto on the bowtie love! Amazing thread, awesome car! Great job getting it back together! :D
Woo hoo! Great job, beautiful truck, just in time for spring cruisin'! :)
I'm just LOVING all the shoes and bathing suits exhibited here. They just don't make them like they used to! On another note, my grandma used to...
IMHO, this is the best advice. I have had my Desoto for 5 years, un-running, because I am to damn stubborn to give up the old flathead in it. I...
In answer to your question, I do refrain from posting. I don't know enough to be of help to anyone on tech threads, and opinion threads are cans...
Don't stop at the muffler shop. It sounds fantastic! Congrats on the drive. I drove my Plymouth from the front yard to the back yard Friday. That...
Love the Carson top, love the red/burgundy, love the dash, love the skirts. Most of all the straight 8! Yes, yes and yes! I can't wait to see it...
Ooh, what title situation? That's no bueno. I have a tiny one with the Desoto as well. Glad you got new manifolds. I did too. The bastard wanted...
This thread has been so helpful! I have wanted to organize a cruise to benefit the American Cancer Society since before my dad died, but school...
Try rockauto.com. They have new rocker panels and floor pans for my Plymouth, but not my Desoto. Hit or miss, but might be worth a try. They're...
I might be too late on this, but if you try it, tack it while you still have it on the block. I tried to weld mine, and it shrank just enough so...
Grease 'im! You held up your end, you even gave him hours on your dime. Tell him that if he's not happy with the job you're doing then perhaps he...
I love the original color, and I think it would look awesome if you just painted that bottom panel cream and left it. I am so stoked about this...
Well said. Both my cars are junkyard cars. A little more work? Yeah, but the Desoto was going to get crushed, and the Plymouth (pretty much...
The first thing that crossed my mind is that someone capable of building something so beautiful could not possibly be idiotic enough to drink and...
If you haven't seen Hell Ride, you should. Goodbye Dennis. You were fabulous.
Guys and Gals, I know this is horribly off topic, but my father is in the ICU with complications from esophageal cancer. He was diagnosed 21...
All I know is that I want one. BAD!
No shit. :p
Congratulations! I couldn't stop jumping up and down the day I bought my first car. The feeling you must have makes me smile. I'm so glad you got...
Wow! Who knew? I wish I had a helicopter to fly over town and check out the little treasure troves like that one. There's a beautiful Desoto wagon...
50's on 5 is the BEST! 40's on4 is good too. Don't have any newfangled radio thingies in either of my old ladies, but the free XM in my daily...
Lacquer. Definitely. I would take checked lacquer over f-ed up clear all day long. Plus, there's something inherently delicious about it.
Sign me up! ;)
Wow Julia, that is really amazing. I respect the hell out of the fact that you waited! I got my panties all in a twist, bought a car with no clue...
Super dooper!
E.E. Schenck has quite a selection of fur. They're one of our suppliers. I think they have a website, and the stuff hardly sheds at all. Ggood...
