Well, the Impala is gone.............

thanks! Even my dad liked it, but he did admit that untill he saw the plymouth in person he was afraid i had done something like i did with the 59. He also said it would be " fucking awesome if you could leave it looking the way it does on the outside, the "i just drove it out of a barn" look is sweet, but unfortunately that also means it will continue to rot, flat black the bitch".

After monsterbash i wanna mess with the exaust some, the downpipe will have been replaced, but the muffler on that bitch is about 3 feet long, fucking HUGE. I wonder what it would sound like with an old school thrush or cherry bomb on it......

WAIT!. Hey Casey just brought up a good point, Chris you got a wire welder right? Mind if I come by this evening with a broken peice of exaust tubing? I'll bring you a couple presents in the form of a huge stick welder and a sandblaster to add to your plethea of tools in your garage........

Fuck spending 120 bucks on a repair job, that would be about 4 months worth of gas in this car...at current prices....

so i took the initiative to go pull the front pipeoff and grind the shit off of it to hopefully weld it back....and this is what came off in my hand....




Everything from the tail of the muffler forward fell out. If i can at least weld the flange back to a newpeice of pipe i can peice the rest of it together easy enough.

I do have these things - and am probably going to be working on the car today - c'mon by.

sweet. the wife gets out of work at 5 then i'll swing by the autozone grab a peice of 45 degree elbow tubing and be onmy way. i'll ring you first. i would be sooner but she has the honda and,obviously, the plymouth is down......

[Psychoholic]

I'll be outside welding later, so Ill try and save you some gas. =) (or we may have to run to Northern and get another small tank)

BUH-DAM!!!!

[tonytheskin]

How'd you get the paint to look like that....is there a special brush??

[StrayCat]

Nah man. you take a barn, and park it in there. Then stack about 80 bales of hay on the car, then just walk out and leave it, then, let it sit untill you have grandchildren and make then dig it out. the technical name for this color is " i just dont give a fuck"

That back seat looks like a couch. That's way the American auto maker are going bankrupt, because they quit making real cars.

[StrayCat]

YAY for working instument panel lights and an AM radio! Interior dome light and turn signals are all thats left, but I'll deal with that after monsterbash.....

Billy, as i'd told you my uncle has a 1951 Cranbrook. Called him today & he's going to get me some pictures for ya. Also talked to dad & he gave me some pointers to pass along to you. The old Chrysler 6 bangers will run forever, but don't run 'em too hard or you'll have issues with the crank. Also... if you notice it loses oil pressure at idle, you can pull the oil pump... there;s a spring & ball up in there. You take them out, stretch the spring out, & re-install everything & you'll have phenominal oil pressure! Dad said that was their only 2 downfalls was a soft crank & losing oil pressure. Hope this helps ya bud!
