1936 D2

I also wanted to mention, though I cant see for sure, the rubber triangular caps that go over the hood corners may also be missing. Not having those "bumpers" on there can cause the scratches you have experienced with the headlamps and cowl. Those bumpers are fairly affordable. Get some if needed!

"1930": Yea. It's always fun to do with the camera in one hand and the "action" in the other! :eek: "Atari1977": I was really wondering what was causing the problem catching on to this process. I should probably have asked for a photo of ALL the parts you were working with. Then it would have been apparent. I am going to guess that with the shaft of the motor missing THAT is where the sucking sound is coming from! If you don't have the shaft in your possession someplace (glove box maybe?), then you are going to need a new Trico wiper motor. They will be a "KSB-333" or a KSB-334" I don't remember which is for the driver's side. (Please ignore the manifold drain also in the photo. It is not part of the wiper system.)

See post #3 for added photos. See this link for short video on process. http://s1014.beta.photobucket.com/user/ArtNels2/library/1936%20Dodge%20wiper%20arm%20and%20blade%20attachment%20process

HA. Know the feeling there! Good luck with the project!

Hi "cadaber"... I would also have an interest in the (kind of beat up) grill shell ornament if that is still available, along with the earlier mentioned front bumper to frame mounting bolt cover(s). Thanks! Have a great Holiday!

So, does this car have the rear springs that "mikewest" is looking for? http://forums.aaca.org/f143/wanted-3-4-elliptic-rear-springs-339602.html

If it was a brass or stainless washer, they make a tool that has three or four wire gripper fingers at the end. It works like a choke cable. You push on the handle on the end and the fingers come out the other end and spread. Line it up with the washer (the hard part) and pull the handle back up the shaft allowing the fingers to grip the washer (hopefully). Good luck!

The hook on the arm first goes through the hole in the end of the vacuum motor shaft that comes through the top of the car and this wiper arm will then be pointing toward the outside of the windshield. Then you take the cover part, grasp it on both sides, and push it fairly hard against the spring so that the little half round flipper on the underside is past the wiper motor shaft. You then push down on this cover and slowly release the pressure until the half round flipper drops into the groove around the motor shaft which is a bit closer to the body than where the hook on the arm went through the shaft. This then clips the arm to the shaft and the arm is laying down onto the glass. Then look at the blade. There is a hook on the top. Turn the blade upside down with the rubber up and parallel to the arm. Move the blade up toward the loose end of the arm and while slightly lifting the arm off the glass (don't lift too high - just enough for the blade to hook up and rotate underneath), fit the hook into the slot on the end of the arm. Flip or rotate the blade back around the end of the arm with the hook still in the slot on the end of the arm and you will end up with the rubber blade down toward the glass. The spring pressure in the arm will hold the rubber blade to the glass. During this blade hook up be sure not to raise the arm too much and detach the half round flipper from the shaft or you will need to start over (once you find all the parts!). Here are a few closeups of the above parts...

Is this the same fan that was bumped with the hood panel then went into the radiator causing core damage? http://forums.aaca.org/f143/1937-dodge-brothers-firetruck-332766.html If so, has it been metallurgically checked out or Magnafluxed?

Aaawwww.....

Not so much a tough bridge as a tough "I-beam" they put up just before the bridge! Probably got tired of having to fix the bridge! Cool vid.

Absolutely Excellent!

I know that first photo will be of interest to some because it shows the correct look of the headlamp trim rings. There was some recent discussion about those. Also I see some tabs in the last shot addressing the suspension and safety equipment, both of which had recent threads for the '36. Thanks for the scans!

It has also aged beyond the original copyright so that is good. Also, this posting is for academic discourse which also is good. It's up to you I guess. I would sure love to see them here! There is a lot of interesting data in those limited printing books that many of us would never get to see otherwise.

This other thread by "countrytravler" has photos of the Salesman Poster Book for the 1936 Trucks. Very interesting! http://forums.aaca.org/f143/poster-used-sales-persons-1936-dodge-340000.html

Here is a nice addition from "countrytravler"

That's for sure! :eek:

The second link he has shown us is for a Forum. In post #543 the writer (fygo1973) showed three photos at the same location. Two of them are of the interior of this building and both of those two show the Dodge Victory Six on display. The translated quote on that post is: "Recently entered the collection, all stamped Alfons Ebner". The following posters thanked the contributor for the three photos and were trying to discuss the building's location. It appears, as yet, no one on that Forum is familiar with the location of that building.

Looks like it was at the "Societaten Cristea Expozitie Automobile" - Renault & Dodge

HeHe. They are smaller to store at least!

Don't have any spares right now but I'm rather sure the right and left sides are the same.

All good suggestions. I would start with the things that seal the car from weather/water damage first, like windshield inner and outer (only from Steele - fits correctly), rear window, quarter windows and trunk opening. Then work on other pieces as time and money dictate. Also, anytime you have something apart to work on it or finish it, do the associated rubber then. Say you are going to work on the door mechanism next week. Order up the handle escutcheon gaskets so they are ready to use. It all saves time in the long run.
