Thanks. I have learned things I never thought I could do on this Chrysler. I urge anyone to give it a try. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Thanks. That’s the overall consensus. Evil. I plan to do the sides as well. Just not as dark. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
[IMG] Thanks! I don’t know. I think it’s acrylic urethane. I went to the paint store and said give me a quart of black. Lol. I can verify it is...
I decided a while back to find new ones. As you said I didn’t want to risk it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sorry guys no Chrysler action, but here is some work I just wrapped up on the 57. I was going to start a new thread but I figured I’ll just add to...
Hey guys, I’ve been so busy with my towing business that I haven’t touched the Chrysler. We haven’t forgotten about it, it’s just not top priority...
Slowly picking up where I left off. I'm trying to decide what to do with these "strut rods" I bead blasted them and I was thinking of just...
Last summer I devoted 100% of my spare time to this chrysler for my father. This year I'm going to be bringing my 55 buick back out of storage and...
Wow... I hope mine doesn't come to that level. Do you have a thread on this car I can follow? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Stopped to see the old girl today. It's calling out to me in my dreams. "Finish me.." I'm going to bring it out as soon as the snow clears....
Soon. We are getting some nice days here. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
The original was the big spring type. But I think I'll go with the later style. More common. I can probably buy it at Autozone. Sent from my...
Thanks guys. I am very good with taking pictures and posting updates. So you guys will be the first to know when I get back at it. The most we...
Unfortunately no. A combination of things has kept me from the car. It's winter so I'm very busy. Jumping cars and changing batteries goes through...
Not your every day tow. Haven't had much time to work on the Chrysler. But I figured you guys might get a kick out of this 1928 Chevy huckster...
The shocks I took off were metallic blue so I thought this would look good to break up all the black. I just scuffed up the black and gave them a...
No personally I never drove it. My dad bought it around 83 I'm assuming based on the inspection sticker. He drove it home and parked it in the...
Ball joints are all installed and torqued. Just need to paint everything and reassemble. This portion was a fun mini project. Nice to break away...
I made this part out of an old weld-on pipe coupling to press the old bushings out. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] Sent from my iPhone using...
One down. I welded them in with the old balljoint installed because pretty much every article I found about them said they will warp and then you...
The control arms are still plenty thick where they need to be. I'm going to weld these in with the tig welder. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] Sent from...

All that comes up is a Chrysler dealership in Kentucky. do you mean mopar Mel? If so I'm a little leery. I have never heard a good thing about...
Doing a little research I found that allegedly the factory did not thread them. The force of the initial ball joint install would form these...
