I have been driving the '59 Plodge daily this week and marveling how great it was running! UNTIL! Leaving the grocery store parking lot, I see a wisp of smoke coming from the dash/steering column area accompanied by a burning electrical smell. I cut the ignition immediately, stop as fast as I can, l...

'59 Plodge Mayfair Tail lights have arrived after only 5 months! took all afternoon to assemble, replace sockets and re-install just the rt. tail light. had to re-tap the 6 tiny screw holes for the lens retainer as they had copper in them the 3 threaded studs had to have a die run over them as well....

About to tackle the front disc brake conversion (from an '80 Cordoba) and the upper control arm bushings and the 4 ball joints on the 59 Dodge Mayfair... Have the manual, shouldn't be a problem, but is it worthwhile to remove the inner fenders? Would certainly make working on the upper control arms ...

Finished insulating the floor and installed carpeting. Repaired the corroded rocker covers and installed hidden speakers up high on the kick panels. Seat belts tomorrow and seats hopefully in the next week! Tired of sitting on a Sealtest case... Have not driven the car once all year. 24_09_04_458403...

Plodge Mayfair Door panels refurb almost done. Have done leather restos on old Benz's, but never tackled vinyl. Vibed the clips in my wife's jewelry cleaner and repainted the clips. Treated the vinyl like bodywork ,but used JB Quik instead of bondo. Found good matching paints and dulled it back down...
