Location: Blythewood, SC		Okay, so a little late. The repair on the radiator is holding. The 7 pound cap may be a mistake. I noticed the front cross member was wet this morning from the overflow pipe. I'll give it another few days and then I might have to try a 10 pound cap. I did notice that the car now runs about 1/8 of the sweep hotter. It's still less than 1/2 of the gauge at full temp on the interstate.

Location: Victoria, BC, on Vancouver Island, Canada		I'm still working on the core support and the panel below it. I wed sanded everything, then cleaned it all up and wiped it down with lacquer thinner. Applied the primer tonight and the body color to the lower panel, then clear coated it. When its dry I'll mask off the turquoise and then paint the core support black, likely on Saturday, then re-assemble it all!

Location: central Massachusetts		Nice day in New England. Took the family to a car show and breakfast at the local historical society. Ms. Rose and a 58 Dodge were the only FL'ers there. Stopped in a local cemetery to pay homeage to fathers. These old cemeteries are always great for impropt photoshoots!

Location: Hebron, IN		My Scarebird disk brake brackets came via UPS so I pulled the front drums and backing plates and started cleaning up the spindles and such. Per UPS my rotors and calipers will be here tomorrow.

Loving the purple and shaved door handles- those rims Torque Thrust? I am looking at a set of those (because I need 15" wheels for the disk brakes).

Location: bishop, ca		Necessity being the the MOTHER of an invention that it is: ....today, got an unpleasant surprise when
Horrie's battery was found to be KIA (or, at least: MIA), from my having left his key in
the wrong direction, when I parked him, last week.

Oh, well, finally had the reason to replace his incorrect "Group 27" (it's for the longer batteries)
MoPar battery applique with the correct "Group 24" applique that I've had for many moons.

Also, had the opportunity to use some of my precious remainder "Klean-&-Shine" (finest no-longer-
produced cleaning & polishing agent ever removed from store shelves) to detail the area around
the battery.

That's the famous "Tar Topper" battery toupee which hides the installation of the wonderful
Delco brand ACD24-60 flat topped battery---whose immediate predecessor survived for 21
(IIRC) years before finally succumbing to olde age.

Kustom sanded and painted the fake caps to look like Mope-green ones; others, like Ron W.
have glued-on actual caps, but my own caps were/are not show-quality.

On the Road Again.....stylin properly.

Nope. Have the same setup that you have. One thing that I did was, after painting the caps Mopar green (as Neil did), they got painted with a semi-gloss clear. The TT looks great.

Location: bishop, ca		OOPS; i THINK I clear coated mine too; dunno why I wouldn't do that.

My caps said "AC" on their tops; Ron's may have been a later version, where the tops were blank.

BTW, that plastic is tuff stuff...it took a lot more filing of the cap tops, to elide the AC than I had imagined; simple
sanding of them hardly had any effect on them.

Stressed out here...having some mild damage to the clear coat and paint near the gas door repaired.

The body shop has a really good reputation, but naturally, one still frets anytime their FL is not tucked safely in its own garage under its dust cover.

It should be finished today...just waiting to hear...fret, fret, fret...

Windsor59 - 2012-06-09 10:19 PM Begun to assemble the carburetor, it is fortunate that we took pictures before but unscrew it. Difficult one time. :o

I did this job many years ago, very carefully as you do. Finally I was not satisfied. With all efforts I couldn't get a smooth idling. Then I switched to Edelbrock and my problem was solved. But as far as I learned, you will drink a beer in between and this will help.

Good luck Joakim!   - SERGE -

Location: bishop, ca		Changed H.'s oil (after about/almost a year? I know: "too long"...for what?) with another dose
of Valvoline 20/50 Racing oil, which is loaded with ZDDP.

Clean living...as expressed in the immaculate condition of the oil filter!

(I was looking for that famous photo of that hugely sludged-up oil filter, for grins---but couldn't find it).

Location: Minor Hill, TN		I dusted mine off with a damp microfiber cloth . then I used waterless car wash and a detail spray on it . Were I live there is a water restriction there has not been any rain for days and its needed bad here. I also bought oil for it today 5qt jug and 1 extra quart. All I need is the oil filter and the zddp additive.
In the future I plan to get that windowshield tinted up to 6" .

Location: Minor Hill, TN		What model is your '61 plymouth ? Belvedere , fury or Savoy. My '61 is a fury and its a 1 owner car. My dad bought the car from the original owner in 2006 . It took him 18 months to restore the car.

Location: bishop, ca		Adjusted Horrie's Bendix brakes, over the weekend.

Bendix brakes have a sort of 2-stage application, and their proper adjustment is important, because when they get 'loose',
their (major-) braking action occurs all-at-once, after the brake pedal free-travels to that point of engagement.

Bendix systems are very powerful.
