Oy! Matthew, how did you and your dad find them?!

You know, the front motor is different than the rear motor... (at least, in my car they are).

Obtaining Vehicle Records

Hi Mitch, your message came to me. I'm taking the liberty of posting my reply to both the mailing list and the forum, in case other members would like to comment. I've recently purchased a 1959 plymouth sport fury which i'm restoring. Is it possible to find out where the car was originally bought fr...

Should I widen display format?

When I set up 59sportfury.net, I constrained the width of the display to 800. But I think most computers these days have full XVGA resolution (1024x768. If you have a question about the size of your display, right-click on your desktop, choose "properties", and then go to "settings&qu...

Excellent detective work, Roger. Cody, I've had a leak from my transmission cable, because the O-ring inside the transmission housing was worn. You have to remove the cable to replace the O-ring, and it's a bit of a hassle; there's a thread on the mailing list for http://www.forwardlook.net about it...

weatherstrip woes

(*sigh*) there's apparently a early 59 upper weatherstrip, and a late... Bernbaum sent me the early, but I need the late. Here's a pic of the weatherstrip end on, and the channel end on: http://www.59sportfury.net/59forum/pix/a.jpg I'm sending it back, Steve's going to send me the right stuff. Dan

No glue

It's obvious: The stuff from Bernbaum locks onto the channel. In fact, the channel is removable. In fact, I can see now that the channel must be removed when I go to take the upper stainless trim off for polishing (and, the interior upper rail for rechroming). So that's what it's all about... The bo...

IT'S OUT!!!

The old, upper weatherstripping pulled right out of the channel. Then I was able to pull the window right out. Hmmm... I wonder if the stuff I bought from Bernbaums, will lock in that channel the same way, without glue. If I ever have to take the back apart again, it will be an important considerati...

rear window, revisited

OK, I'm off today. I gave up on trying to get the roller out of the channel without removing the regulator. The regulator removed quite easily, and the roller quickly slid out of the channel. Alright! Now, to remove the window itself. The manual says the window should be all the way up, and slid for...

(*tap*, *tap*)... hey, is this thing on?!

Roger complained that he had problems with the board. I don't know if it was reaching it, or posting to it -- so I'm trying a post. There have been times when it's been down briefly while the service provider did backups, but I haven't had problems... Roger, are you not getting anything? Maybe the p...

Here's how: 1) Point your browser to your directory with ftp -- ftp://members.59sportfury.net 2) You will be prompted for your username and password. 3) A...
