I didn't go but Modified brought some parts down for me from NYS and met PanzerWillie and turned them over to him and he brought them to Florida and meet me about 20 miles from my home and gave then to me and neither wanted any money for their efforts. Thanks guys!!

I think Jones is right. I've seen plastic plugs like what he describes but not metal ones but that doesn't mean that they don't make them. Try driving the center pin all the way in with a small punch. If it goes in far enough it will fall free. Then you should be able to pry out the outer part...

Dressler. Yes that was the name. I couldn't remember it. I think the last time I was there was in '81. A sad ending to what was once a fine dealership! I helped clean out another Mopar dealership in Va and sent all the old parts back to Chrysler. What I wouldn't give for some of those parts...

Hey Lanty. Just noticed that you're in Covington. I used to live in Roanoke. In fact that's where my MW parts and many of my Dodges came from. Is Covington Dodge still around? Do they still have that '69 Daytona in their showroom? I meet the owner one time and he told us to come up and help...

IF this is held on with drive pins then they can be pried out. A Drive Pin is like a fluted nail but the flutes are in a spiral and not straight. I've taken lots of them out of 'Jones' connectors. Just pry up the edge and then grab them under the head with diagonal cutters and twist and pull...

FWIW. Maybe the EARLY Max Wedge engines came with 4 bolt valve covers but not all of them did. I have a set of MW valve covers on my '70 440 pak right now and they're 6 bolt and fit fine. I use those on my car because they had the brackets where I wanted them. IIRC they came off of a '64 MW.

Wow Bill! It looks like you're fixing that engine up for museum display! I've seen an M37 that was all chromated like that (it was probably your's!) and that's what got me looking into this. I thought about sending the stuff out to be done but I really didn't want to tear everything down at...

Yes, I've looked at some Eastwood's stuff and I wasn't impressed. Caswell has a much better reputation but isn't as widely known. I just mentioned Eastwood since they do a lot of advertising and most gearheads know who they are. But I'm interested in hearing of anyone's experience with either of...

Has anyone tried this? I know there are commercial companies that do this but most want a 50 pound minimum and I've had to tear my complete vehicle apart to get 50 pounds of small parts! There are companies (Eastman, etc) that sell kits to do this at home but I'm wondering how well they work...

Has anyone here tried electrolysis for rust removal? It sounds effective and like a real work saver particularly in hard to reach places such as inside of frames or inside of gas tanks. There's lots of web sites on the net that talk about using it for everything from old tools to motorcycle gas...

I was restoring a '55 MB 190SL once and found tar paper (roofing felt) under the mat in the trunk. It had molded itself in so well over the years that it was a form fit and looked like it had been melted and poured there at the factory. The only reason that I found it at all was because it had...

Anybody know what became of these M-37s? I replied to the ad but never got an answer and a couple of days later it disappeared. There are (were?) several M37s on CL in central Fl but they're all rusted out junk and the sellers are convinced they're worth every penny of $5,000.

Welcome to the insane asylum! The F7, H7, etc codes are frequently meaningless. First off, they report a lot of items as bad when there's nothing wrong with them but they just want to get new replacements. I buy a LOT of surplus through various government auctions and I'd say that at least 60 to...

I wonder what kind of permit the state would make you get to do that? Truck tag? Boat tag?, Submarine tag? or just a fishing permit? :)

OK I talked to my daughter the lawyer this morning. FWIW she was one of the top people in her class at one of the best law schools in the country and was also editor and chief of the Law Review all three years she was there. If you know anyone in law school you know what a big deal that is. She...

Reading the title I was expecting to find that you'd backed your Deuce into the lake and scooped up fish in the cargo bed!

Gave it away? When? Last I heard the US Marines were still holding out against the civies! My son was there up until last year with HMM 166. He's since moved over to Pendelton with the 11th MEU HQ.

Hey guys, let's put this in hold. I think I can get some pretty straight answers. My daughter is a practicing attorney and a very very good one (as lawyers go!) She also used to work in the 82nd Airborne's JAG office in Ft. Bragg so she knows how the military legal system works. I'll give her...

I LIKE that idea! How about a big discount too? :grin:

It's too bad you haven't learned to use Google! Google It's spelled both ways! Although "challenger" is usually a verb and not a noun. The US space shuttle was named "Challanger", the British tank is named "Challanger" AND the Dodge automobile that I OWN is named "Challanger"! And that's just to...
