Hot Rods Should i trade????

Bruce as far as the fuel issue on the wagon, disconnect the line from the tank to the fuel pump at the pump. You may want to jack the ass end up a little and put a bucket under the hose end. Fuel should flow pretty quickly if it doesn't the problem is from there back somewhere. If fuel does flow pretty quickly it most likely is the pump. Good luck! Joe

 

You did good imo.

Recently, I put my OT V8 Landrover up for sale. Guy comes to look at it, and the battery died.
Couldn't start it, and it's never done that ever.
Charged battery next day, and it's started fine ever since. Buyer never came back. Weird shit.

 

Bruce I know How you Like Station Wagon's if it was Me
I would think the Car ( wagon ) is try'ing to tell you something
by NOT Starting & giving you Problems now when your
Thinking of a Trade........???

Why does he Want to Trade, He has a Wagon in his Shop
Just a Thought thats all
You Must remember Me from Shop talk my Name is honest dom

Just my 3.5 cents
or when the Cows
Come Home.!

 

Take the gas cap off first!

 

.....be careful tho that you can quickly raise the line back higher than the tank or you may get a siphon affect going and have more fuel than you want coming through that cant be stop quickly enough.
ya might also try taking a air hose and blowing back through the line with the cap off to make sure its clear.

 

Was going to delete that post after looking back and addressing oldsjoes

 

I would trade for the Chrysler. You only look middle aged to me.

 

Thanks J.A. .Thats the plan with the Olds wagon tomorrow. Bruce.

 

51 Bird, I just had the tank repaired and sealed about a year ago and there is no sock on the pick up line but Thanks. Bruce.

 

Low Budget, I tried that aready, but thanks.Bruce.

 

Bostonhemi, maybe in dog years LOL. Thanks Bruce.

 

Thanks Joe I will try that 1st.Bruce.

 

Kiwijeff, I hear you .Funny the Olds wagon never failed to start as long as I had it. It doesn't want to be traded. LOL. Bruce.

 

Dom I remember you. He has a 4 door 1964 nova station wagon that hes made in to a 2 door .It has a LONG way to go on it. He says he wants to drop a Lt motor in the Olds wagon and lower it and drive it right away. I don't think I could stand to see it that way. Bruce.

 

I plan to do that too.Thanks.Bruce.

 

Low Buget I have 2 words for that fast flowing gas VICE GRIPS{on the rubber hose}. LOL.Bruce.

 

I usally answer all the likes I get on a thread but I got so many on this one I cant answer them all so THANKS to you all that liked it.!!!!Bruce.

 

I am not sure about the new sealers but we had lots of trouble with the old sealers coming loose in the tank. It would clog the lines ,fuel pump, and carb. This new gas is even worse than the old stuff. Hope that is not the problem.

 

I guess I'm in the minority, no freaking way I would ever trade that wagon for any mopar 4 door, sorry.

 

Bruce, Here is a sketch of some ideas you could do with the Windsor. All fairly easy and inexpensive. The hood already looks pancaked and peaked. Just do away with the top and bottom grill bars. That would make the center bar look like a floating grill. Then do away with the parking lights. Use a 50 Ford bumper. French the headlights using the existing rings. shave the door handles. Then if the budget permits, add some Appleton's , kickstands, and skirts. I know that I may get a little carried away sometimes. lol Just have FUN with her. Ron...

 

Bruce, I would go for the Chrysler in a New York minute. With your skills I know you can make the Chrysler any way you want.

Anyone think an old car can have a soul? I think the Olds wagon was trying to tell Bruce not to trade.

Bruce, Are You crazy enough to go with candy pink? Ron...

 

Congrats on your acquisition Bruce. Enjoy the transition and happy tinkerin...

 

That sketch is so cool man. Awesome concept. Good job Ron.

 

I likes me some Crown on occasion so I understand your consternation. That's a better image. You look much more, uh......approachable, with the propeller beanie. And are those Daisy Duke shorts? I think most everybody on the HAMB is a nut. May be why I feel so at home here.

 

Chrysler all the way, the '56 Chryslers were the best looking of them all.

 

1stwsh, I forget what the sealer is called{its red} but I have used it in 3 cars and on my old farm all tractor and never had a problem with it.Thanks though.Bruce.

 

lswsh, this new gas is hell on rubber gas line too!Bruce.

 

Ron now that is really KOOL!!!!Bruce.
