'59 Plymouth Forum

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...

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...

(*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

Hope I see you then...

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...

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...

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...

There. it posted just fine.

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...

There are several good programs for transferring files (FTP -- File Transfer Protocol). But you can even use Internet Explorer to transfer files. 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...

Folks, I've added a subdomain to our web -- members.59sportfury.net. I'm offering to each '59 Plymouth owner a free account with 25MB of space (honor system for now); perhaps more, if my quota doesn't get blown out. Here's what you do: 1) Send me a private email, requesting an account with the usern...

I took Faulkner out for a drive yesterday. The old 318 runs great, and burns very little oil. Not bad for 85K. But the oil light does come on, particularly when idling. It disappears around 35mph or so. It's occurred to me that I might have a clogged sensor, and I intend to replace it. But is there ...

Thanks for this tip, Bob -- I'm passing it on to the forum. > For all of those who have the 318 V8 with the canister oil filter, you > can change it to a spin on as follows: > > 1.

Sorry about the problem, folks. It's the site the pic is on -- it doesn't support linking. I snagged the pic and put it on our site. Soon, anyone who wants an account will have the ability. I'll lay out the rules shortly. Here's the pic: http://59sportfury.net/59forum/pix/cody.jpg It's beautiful, Co...
