No Reserve: 1979 Plymouth Volare Road Runner

Heat gun on low and the trim peeled right off. I just used a plastic scraper to give it a little nudge. All of the residue came off with the trim.

No hit taken and you are right about the TQ’s. Four years ago we looking to buy another house that had a big garage a renovated interior and a decent yard. Couldn’t find a single thing at a $$ I could ever hope to afford. Ended up keeping this place. We redid the entire exterior which was old...

Thanks

So I got the shifter in, driveshaft in, brakes bled and the wagon is back on the ground. Brakes will need to be bled again. We have about 40 friends and family coming over tomorrow for an annual bbq and pool party. In preparation for that I had strict instructions from the Mrs to get the garage...

Wagon update. Transmission is back in. Front suspension is back together. Brakes are done all around. I picked up another pair of torq thrusts for the rear. The list is getting shorter. I still have to bleed the brakes, install the shifter, install the driveshaft, get an alignment and a safety...

Not sure how accurate you need it. The bumper shock is in the way when I took the pic but the upper part of the poly bushing is a little over 1 1/2 inches thick. I had a 1 1/2 inch piece of metal which fit between the k frame and the frame rail with a little wiggle room

I remember reading that article but couldn't find it in my back issues. Thanks for posting.

I just recently went through most of the front end on my F wagon. Moog rubber bushings for the upper/lower arms. Poly for the sway bar and k-frame mounts. Energy Suspension Sway Bar Bushings 5.5110R Prothane Body Mount Bushings 4-101-BL

Looks great. Nice job.

Looks awesome!!

I would separate the ball joint stud from the steering knuckle, the upper shock bolt and the four bolts holding the mounting plate. Then you can remove the entire assembly and work on a bench. No need to remove the ball joint unless you’re replacing it. You’ll need the appropriate socket and a...

Here is a pic of the arm, the pivot bar and mounting bracket. The round hole in the bracket is where the upper mount of the shock attaches.

Just wanted to give a big thanks to F Body Jim. He sent me a badly needed upper A arm for the wagon. Nice rust free part. Quick shipping. Great guy.

Factory radio was gone so that was a good spot and no damage done to the dash. As for music a good Bluetooth speaker paired to my phone or iPod gives decent sound and it can be moved between cars.

Just one large hose clamp around the column.

Thanks. F body Jim has set me up. Just waiting for the mail lady to deliver.

With the outrageous prices for A,B,E bodies I think you’ll see F,M,C bodies start to gain more interest.

Thanks, I was just looking at his info.

I think you'll be on their Xmas card list this year!! Keep us posted with lots of pics. Car looks awesome.

Looking for good drivers side upper control arm with the pivot shaft for my 79 F body.

Work on the wagon continues. I got the front end parts back from the blaster. I pressed out lower control arm bushings and ball joints with minimal fuss. The reassembly was easy and a quick coat of paint had the arms looking good. The upper arms did not go so well. The ball joints weren't too...

Greetings Oldiron. Not sure what an 883 is unless I mis-typed something in an earlier post. I picked up the transmission. The guy who worked on it said it is an O/D case that had been rebuilt with a non O/D gear set. He said all of the gears/bearings were in good shape when he disassembled it...
