My son gave me it as I made a living as an artist.
I hope you did not settle too early. Rear end collision injury can take a while to show up.
Did one a long time ago, 331 and a hydro, we made a dropped tie rod.
My first one that ran, was a '41 Merc coupe. I had a couple of other stalled out project cars prior, but the coupe was the first to be a driver....
Not a rod really, but is hot rodded. Owned this ‘53 Dodge Panel for 51 years now, since 1974. First version I did was with a 251 Chrysler six with...
This thread sure drifted away from unchopped ‘32-34 Fords.
Looks more like 1939 rather than ‘36. Wilkie running for president and cars later than ‘36. Interesting shots of architecture.
I didn’t want to be the first to write that, but I agree.
As noted the with the offset washers they can be frustrating to get them to seat while tightening a lug nut because it wants to spin with it. The...

Those things are a pain to deal with. Try this:...
Hot weather so the cooling questions start. If it is not puking coolant it is probably ok. My understanding of fan shrouds is all the air has to...
Those speed parts shown above do not fit the 251 it is the 25” long block.
There would probably be many the same issues in Fords and Chevys of the era when swapping drive train. Stock steering and column shift retained...
My ‘51, with the relocated shock mounts and bigger sway bar drives great. Steers easy with the 318. A Camaro clip is over 3” wider track and...

Having just wrestled with the Cragars on my ‘64 Comet they are not my favorite with the lug nut adapter/washers. It also would have been nice to...
Here is a piece I wrote about the swap;
Here is one thread about this: https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/49-plymouth.1313203/#post-15185606
The sad part is they probably have no idea what they stole.
All this stuff is available if someone pays to maintain the site. The fee for that really increased the last few years.
Looks like the tape is working. Maybe a heat gun used sparingly might help soften the red paint. I realize the tag/title topic always creates...
The fan flattens at high speed. He writes it is a low speed/idle problem.
Not everything is a fan problem. Low speed heating can be due to not enough initial timing advance. The radiator pictured has a lot of fins per...
Is it losing coolant? If not, 212 is not a problem depending on the amount of pressure in the system. The pressure cap raises the boiling point...
All those red wires is my nightmare. I always make a wiring diagram and label the fuse blocks in the car. Never bought a kit.
The thread is called “traditional image that need no explanation”. So a long winded discourse on clutches and accidents seems unnecessary and off...
Working on a crew cab currently. [ATTACH]
I wish I could say that the recent conversations about oil have been educational. But they haven’t for me. The usual points of view seem to boil...
I just did that by attaching a smaller flexible line to a suction pump - the type used to fill a trans - and it worked great to get down to the...
