... Adjust hood ... Fix locks, install latches... Well, it was a beautiful father's day -- so I played with both of these. I managed to get the hood from crowding the cowl, but it's too close to the passenger fender. Unfortunately, one bolt on the right is snapped off, and one on the left is stripp...

Dan, 1)Get tires, yes. 2) Check oil..with rebuilt engine, should be fine. 3) install rear seat Don't need weatherstrip...buy some cedar shims to stop the window rattle, or we can use flattened beer cans. Can't hear the radio at speed, and its AM anyway. Missing windows can be stuffed with towels, p...

I hope there are some parts that are need to go on Faulkner. Ohmigosh, Matthew! No problem there... Here's a snippet from my Carlisle "TO DO" list: Faulkner: fix intermittent horn check fluids; generator oil; lights check gas pedal Reinstall vent window Adjust hood Exhaust leak Differenti...

Well, I guess I should have left Faulkner in Jersey. The new garage isn't nearly big enough. Aligning the car to get into the garage was a bear; I wasn't quite straight, and in going in I scraped the driver's side fender on the wall. Nothing dented, and it's on the lower edge of the wheel well; a l...

Andy, try Harry's in Fraser, Michigan -- that's a shop that specializes in antique steering parts. 586-296-2920. Sorry, I don't have an email address.

The last I heard, John, he was in Colorado Springs. But my last communication from him was a little over a year ago, so I'm not sure exactly where he was when he died...

I just received word from my friend Ed Ober, that Jason Bauck died on June 1st. Ed doesn't know any of the details of how he died; but tragically, he was only 32. Jason's car appears in the showcase here: http://www.59plymouth.net/showcase/bauck.html Jason later moved his family to Colorado, and had...

... I found a garage nearby in Philly where he will stay, while his new garage (and, deck) is built out back. ... maybe later I'll take him to the garage. For now, I'm happy to let him sit where he'll soon live. Well, I guess I should have left Faulkner in Jersey. The new garage isn't nearly big en...

Bill Whelan put this question to me: Dan I need your help identifying a 59 Plymouth part. At least I think it is 59. I figure they are either engine mounts or body mounts, but I would appreciate your professional opinion. Also how do they work. There is only a stud on one side and a 1 1/4"x2&qu...

Today's the day, for Faulkner to leave New Joisey and come home to Philly. I found a garage nearby in Philly where he will stay, while his new garage (and, deck) is built out back. Marie drove me over to the rental garage in Jersey, and I attempted to start him up after several months of sitting; &q...
