Re: Carlisle 2019!

Well, I picked up the Belvy this morning and I am psyched. Carb rebuilt, new brake master and brake job, gas tank leak fixed, differential seal replaced, headlight switch replaced, valves adjusted, tune up, oil change. And countless other mini-fixes.

Re: Carlisle 2019!

Hey, Dan. Hey, Will. Hey, all you Forward Lookers. I'm back in the Plymouth driver's seat, now that the ice has melted off the Ohio house and it's safe to venture north from Florida. After being parked in the garage since the first snow last fall, the Belvy is back on the road and in for a few repai...

Re: I'm getting up there

Looks like Exner's '55 Royal Sierra morphed into the '56 Regent Suburban. https://auto.howstuffworks.com/1955-dod ... -wagon.htm
I grew up with a '53 Meadowbrook, like this one: http://www.americantorque.com/page/0/2678/

You: "No doubt you guys are planning a follow-up email flyer that also focuses on the 60th anniversary of the 1959 Plymouth, the pinnacle achievement of Virgil Exner."
Them: Ummm, yes of course we are. You'll be getting it soon. It's all part of our plan."

Re: Faulkner gets a Redo

The Belvy's AM tuner undoubtedly bit the dust channeled to Detroit's WKNR "Keener 13."

Re: VINs and Build Sheets

Must say I'm impressed with SMS Auto Fabrics so far. Check out what arrived in today's mail, less than a week after I asked them to send it.

Re: VINs and Build Sheets

Wow, WIll. Thanks for the lead. Read several of the reviews and it looks like they're good when the fabric is in stock. I'll call up there and let you know how it goes. Looks like Canby, Oregon is just south of Portland, so mebbe a quick trip out there would be more productive. I have a great guy in...

Also, guys, while I've got your attention here, I've discovered a fluid leak from the differential. I'm assuming I can buy needed parts from Birnbaum and have that catalog. I'm working with a mechanic about five miles from where the car is garaged. You think I can get away with slowly driving it the...
