69 Plymouth brought back from the grave to alive again. Mom bought this car In 1970 and was her daily driver. When she died in 1991 it sat in the field for five years. The rocker panels, left quarter, area above the trunk, area above the rear bumper, top where the red light was was all rust. Rodents had eating the interior and small critters were living in the caburator. Transmission mounts were broken and needed a battery and master brake cylinder. In 1996 I inherited the car and my son and I drove too Iola to get the car. After a battery and master brake cylinder was installed we got it running. It shuttered and shook but barely ran. Jon drove it back to Pittsburg barely and you could see the rust falling off the rocker panels and left quarter panel. Jon said it ran rough but you could tell their was power under the hood. This became an amature restore, "ME". The only 3 things I didn't do were bumper rechrome, seats reupholstered, the final sealer, basecoat and clear coat. I hope Mom would be proud. Coming home from work in Iola to Gas City, a few kids would challenge her and she would say by, by and leave them in the rear few Mirrow. This post is in memory of Dorothy Maxine Hallam Tippie.🌷💖

One of Henry Ford's most innovative auto coupes. The1932 Model B Duece three window coupe. First flathead V-8 motor. Air vent in cowl and roll down back window. Su***de doors and easy access to the engine with collapsible four piece hood. Gas tank in the bottom rear of vehicle instead of in the cowl like the Model A coupe had. It was the favorite for hot Rodders to redue and modernize. Usually with a. 350 cu.inch Chevy V-8, a 350 transmission and an 8 or 9 inch Ford differential. Coil over rear assembly and a 2 to 3 inch dropped front axle or independent front suspention. Power disk brakes, Power steering and AC. The interior was redone with new gauges. Upgraded wheels and radial tires. You end up with a new 1932 Ford automobile. The most favorite Hot Rod.

Speedy's Automotive owned by Master Mechanic Grant Carson. He's built a five bay shop near Girard, Ks. Transmission specialist but does it all. He becomes your friend when you meet him, Master Mechanic, and doesn't price gouge. In The last two weeks he's rebuilt the Plymouth's Torqueflite transmission, and replaced the plugs and a coil pack on my 97 Expedition. Auto Zone incorrectly tested and named the wrong coil pack. Grant ran a test and was different on the bad coil pack. Grant likes racing at MoKan drag track. Pics. He has a kit car with: 577 cubic inch Chevy motor, Power Glide Transmission, 9 inch rear end, a 1050 CFM Alcohol Dominator Carburator, 33 by 16 slicks, parachute required, rear wheel bars and a light fiberglass body. It runs 160 MPH @ 8.2 seconds in the quarter mile. Grant and Tosha Gier Carson.

I''m getting an automobile education. After putting the fuel pump on the 77 Mercury, it started fine but the key was hard to turn. I put some grafit in the key switch and it Locked up. Wont shift and key won't turn. I figure the acuator rod gears are worn. Part , probable take a while to locate one. Once running it gets new tires. The Limo will be done.😊 Mercury cars wrre first produced in 1938. The Mercury Line was discontínued on 6-2-2010. This Mercury is a Mercury Marquis Brougham pillard four door hardtop.400 cúbic inch displacement engine with 360 HP. Leather Interior, AC, vynle top, power brakes and steering. Very nice comfortable ride.

The 1969 Plymouth Fury 1, 440 ended needing additional work to bring it up to drivable. The last guy to overhaul the tr**ny used the wrong clutch plates. It Welded the plates together, i ended Up with only drive. So the 720 torqueflight tr**ny bad to be rebuilt. I checked my maintenance book and the Car has been driving 1000 milles sincer 1995. It ended Up needing a gas tank. sending unit. New plugs and a rebuilt carburator, a new battery and it runs strong now. It will do 140 MPH . Fast for a 1969 car.

I worked on the Chevy Monte Carlo for several days. I retired the car in 1981. Had been driven sparsely for 37 years. It had 230,000 miles on the car. In 80 and 81 it received a new vynle top. Total new upholstery. A new long block four bolt 350 motor from GM for $750,00. I think GM had an overstock and priced them to sell. The lower front was rebuilt including upper ball joints. Nick rose had a shop in. Mindenmines Mo painted the car with Emron paint. A deep blue with large metal fflakes. Good Year Eagle tires were mounted. The trans and front end have less than 100 miles on their rebuild. The 350 motor has 50,000 on it. An unusual order when the car was ordered, two barrel carburatur. Twenty gallons HWG'' s and still has that 350 punch. Has Chevy Rally wheels. Needs A.C. work and new inner fenders. I'll do that this month. A pic of the car last evening, after a new battery tray and new fuel pump. The Emron paint looks like it was painted yesterday. It's the cat's. Meow.😎😊👍.
