Happy Fourth!
cleaning Bulldog up getting ready to fill some of the rust holes. put the emblems back on. did i get the spacing correct. i did 2 1/2 inches up, 1 1/2 from the edge. i only had my Gran Fury and photos as reference. you can somewhat see the shadow of where this had a SE Diplomat...
thanks AMC. gotta track down a good Black Cherry spray paint. or just get really good at taping off the fender. rust is only on a few paint chips and on the driver's side rear quarter. hidden on the underside and under the skirt. and one or two tiny bubbles around the window, those will be hard...
found a picture of this car in old family photos. yep, it was always grey it seems. had a repaint when the Plymouth header panel was put on i remember that.
new plugs, wires, cap, rotor. acceleration stumble is gone. that was simple. carb is leaking though. needs rebuild. wipers still don't...
both sites had no pictures. just listed it as New Yorker (RWD) 82 was NYer, 83 NYer Fifth Ave, then 84 is just Fifth Ave? i'd hate to drive the two hours then find just a K Car. but those were all FWD
that's a huge help. 84 New Yorker is an M right? theres one in Pennsylvania that might get sacrificed. if not one in Delaware that might as a bonus have the red seats i want for my maroon car
that or i can see if i can get back in contact with the guy with that white car you took the header off of
sides of the trunk are nearly completely rotted out. faulty antenna plug hole. can look through and see the street. driver's side i showed earlier is the worst of it but the passenger side was full of water. got up as much as i could. luckily we're having a heat wave so it can dry out. think I'm...
Maryland weather took a toll on this old thing.
just as i suspected. the wheel arch trims were hiding many horrors. this rust is both worse and not as bad as i thought at the same time. thankfully this is the worst on the body. this looks BAD. almost unsalvageable bad. other side's looks...
thought about it and should have got the ones off this Fifth in York. but this thing was so gross i didn't even like being near it. someone got it's motor, lucky them. body decent but i didn't have the right tools on me at the time. crushed now. looking at yards in the general area and the...
bed liner is a good idea. will probably do that for the inner fender. while i'm at it i might as well fluid film the rest of the underside. My father used to daily this car everyday and rarely had time wash it. we're lucky the frame is still solid.
got the windshield replaced at Safelite...
