What did you do to your Mopar today?

Finally got the steering wheel back on the '55 Plymouth.

Beautiful!

That's an awfully modern looking dash in that 55.

Maybe it's the radio...

 

[Dennis H]

Got it. Show deal in Vegas!

Nice! But don't leave us in "suspense"; what components did you get?

Front sway bar relacement. 6 pounds lighter, stronger than original. Hollow.

Did you buy the rear sway bar to match? That would go a long way toward solving your tire rub issue.

Starting with the front, and see what spacers will do.

Disassembled the disc brakes for the front of the Express. They were very rusty and difficult to get apart but it's done. Clean the arms up and get new rotors and calipers and set them aside for later.

Got lucky with a broken bolt extraction on the '55 Plymouth.

I thought about hiding the radio, but wound up buying another radio plate and cutting it for a modern radio.

 

[Auggie56]

Picked up a good used three row radiator and fan shroud from a 70' today, from a guy West of Detroit. I really agonized over going with aluminum. But since I want the car to look as original as possible, the factory radiator will look much better.

 

[68 HEMI GTS]

My ssbc caliper started leaking. Hope new seals show up today.

 

[mmissile]

Took the scoop off, and cut for the crossram setup. 1/2" more clearance, and it would have been just the initial cuts. I'll fill-in the front and rear opening from the tunnel-ram.

RAIN & more rain.... tried to find some parts & pulled a muscle.

 

[Brandy]

Moved the dash and heat/ac/console all out of the way to do some welding on the inside edges of the smooth firewall.

 

[YY1]

Cut open the fuel tank vent manifold, drilled out the stuck two way check valve, welded in a patch and jb welded over that to seal- whew.

Put the fuel system back on and took it for a drive.

Did not exhibit "the problem" I've been chasing- yay!

Now I have a trans fluid leak. Looks like it might be the converter seal- boo.

 

[71charger_fan]

Scraped through decades of fossilized goo to replace the tie rod ends on the 1955 Plymouth.

Made aluminum fillers for the hood.... Not air-tight, but good enough for the time-being. The glass hood will be scrapped, next year.

Cover up them carbs before something finds it's way in there, it's Murphys Law.
