Nicer than mine by far!

I sure would like to find one for my '66. Even if it was black and I had to paint it brown.

Yowch. I sorta thought that might be the case. Mine is ugly but at this point, so is the entire car, so...

Old post, but faint like three digit faint, or faint like four digit faint?

Well now there's an idea I hadn't thought of.

Im just going to bump this instead of a new thread. I never was able to get these apart. I plan to buy a new one, whats the best option for a replacement? MP's Wilwood? Their Adjustable one? Or is there another option? I know i need one for a 67.

I do not. I also own several large, heavy hammers. Hmm.

I rarely wish bad on others. Unless they are thieves. Then I wish ill will on them, and their entire lineage. I hope your friend gets his stuff back, and i hope a city bus falls from the sky and lands on the people who took it.

Well, at least you didn't say "hey dumb@ss, there is a release screw" or something like that. I clamped it and put a pipe through the hole and beat on it nine ways from Sunday with increasing ferocity. Its currently soaking in PB and some mystery lube in my finger pump can, however I'm beginning...

Maybe I'm a maroon, but how does the pushrod come out? Shouldn't it just pull out? I mean it spins, but wont release. If I give up and just buy a new one (which is looming) where can I find a replacement w/boot? Ahem. "Tapping" it did not work.

Good eye! The brown one is a 78 champagne i converted to a camper. Its been idle for awhile now, but Ive camped all over in it. The green one is a 69, that has been back burnered. They arent getting cheaper, so it just sits. I may get to it some day. Maybe. There's also a Miata in there and a 68...

You know, I'm not sure myself. I don't mind them, and the tires I already have. I'd like to have raised white letters probably if I got to choose. RH studs ordered from the Rock. After I did the spark test to make sure my drums were iron, not steel. Interesting. Now we wait. Maybe I'll drive...

So my long suffering Valiant project, seems to both grow ever closer to "completion" while at the same time, dancing further away. Not so much of an update, but two things, one of which is more of a general complaint, really. So as we all know, I bought a set of SBP Cragars a while back. They...

Man I love a wagon in any flavor. Id have to have a bit of an "altitude" adjustment, but otherwise, carry on!

...a microfiber towel on my face, I would literally admit to killing President Kennedy decades before my birth to get you stop touching me with it. *shiver* Thank whatever you consider a higher power if you don't feel the same way i do about it, and let's revisit, shall we? I think we should...

Welcome from DFW, Texas!

...Hoping to avoid a forehead smear, and the subsequent mockery this time, I gathered up again, a very very specific set of high end specific tools*. *well they get the job done, anyway Not pictured are my goggles, respirator and throw away protective suit. Now another thing I use...

Alright, so after my welding/grinding endeavor, I would love to tell you I busted right back and went back to work on the Plymouth the next day. I would like to, but that would be a bold face lie. So what I DID do, was talk to some old timers at a body shop near by about seam sealers, do some...

Yeah, I went back and dobbed in again between each one. By the time I ground it down it was pretty much one solid piece. I dont think its going to be an issue; turned out pretty solid.

Alright, time for an update. Albeit a small update, and not particularly well written, but hey it still counts right? I mean cmon, its hot out, and im lazy. Fine. So once I got two large gaping holes in my floor, there was no turning back unless I could figure out some way to rig up some pedals...

I was pretty amazed by that myself. I feel confident in floor pan replacement, but not that. I think what rotted the floors is the windshield seal leaks just enough. Coupled with 20 years in a pasture gave the water plenty of time to work slow.

...(editors note: Coca-Cola, and the author was like 5 in the 70's) Pro tip: For this job you will need a very precise set of premier tools.* This will guarantee your absolute success!** Get on my tool level.*** *not premier tools **fake news ***I have no level. I don't honestly know...

It has begun. For sale: Most of the original passenger front floor from 66 Valiant. Heavy Patina, Some assembly required, may or may not contain all pieces. $5000 for just this part of the floor, car not included. No low ballers, I know what I got. I saw a Plymouth on that one auction show...

Its an ill fated VolksRod project I aborted. I am not a fabricator, and it ended up being way more than I wanted to deal with. Good look though.

...floor removal will be easier than trimming the new floors down to fit in the holes, but since I can't weld (sometimes people say they "weld for sh*t", well I weld worse than that) I don't want to make big mistakes I can't easily correct. I say that to say this, progress will be slow, as I...

Hey, glad I could help!

Thanks man!

Thanks! I am swimming in water I dont completely understand when it comes to floor pan replacement.

Can we at least settle on whiskey?

Coffee needed
