Wow, you sure have been busy!!

Yes, we are still watching this thread! Good to see your progress with this great car.

Ahh, the trials and tribulations of our old car hobby! Persevere Gary, you will get there! We are all pulling for you.

Good work Gary! Will we have a video to watch of the engine startup? I was going to ask you where the big weights in the nose were, but then remembered this is not a sliding roof wagon.

Very stately looking car in that blue with black fenders! Looking forward to more posts as you dig into her!!

Isn't the metal tab (in line with the one fan blade) a 'clip' to hold the harness? If the harness is routed on the opposite side of the clip, and the end of the clip rolled around the harness, would that properly secure it?

Sorry, as stated in my post, these were seen on Facebook Marketplace, they are not my items.

I love this thread.......even tho I don't have '36 Chrysler. There are always new posts on this thread, every time I look! And love that there are a number of people who are helping each other. Keep it up guys!

Thanks for the update, been wondering how you were coming with this car. Keep plugging away!

Found on Facebook Marketplace, not mine, don't know seller, don't know anything about these parts. Not much description: "A Large Lot of Studebaker 1925 Standard 6 parts" Link: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1640236542974372/?ref=search&referral_code=marketplace_search&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A263aa0bd-e0d8-4eda-a3a1-b9445a0f2b62 Nine pictures, here is one:

Not any more. Rex bought all the molds and is doing the parts -- see above in this thread!

The trials and tribulations of working on an old car. We feel your pain Fleetwood, because all of us have went thru it at one time or another!

Neat photo Fleetwood! We had snow here in NC yesterday. Where are you located?

Fleetwood, glad to see you back posting! I've missed hearing about the progress of your Caddy.

You could post the video on YouTube, and post the link here. I for one would love to hear these horns.

And where are you located?

My comment is to think about why the drum is so out of round. Maybe it ran very hot (brakes stuck on that side, ebrake cable sized etc) that caused this sometime in the past. Or, some mechanical damage (wheel came off and drum hit the road hard?) that warped it. If either of these, it may not be a good drum long term even if it's turned (hard spots from overheating, or thin spots when the drum is turned round again, might cause uneven braking and pulsations/vibrations). Yes, try to have it turned to use it short term, but advertise for a good used drum for long term. Of course, this is just my opinion.

I feel your pain (figuratively and literally) Gary. I built my garage in the mid-1980s, and the reasonably priced lifts were not available then. I lack about a foot or a little more of height to be able to use a 4-post lift and be able to stand upright underneath the car. The garage is built on an integral footer slab, with three courses of concrete block then the garage sitting on them. I am seriously considering jacking up the garage and adding two more courses of block. The problem is getting everything off the walls, moving all the heavy during shelving away from the walls, etc, to be able to jack the garage up. Just lots of lifting and moving I guess.

Too bad those snow tires are so old Gary -- I've always thought an older car in the North (especially a wagon) would be unique with a set of old style snow tires on it.

Nice work Eric, as usual! Over the years I've learned on brakes not to trust the way they are found when disassembled. Like your experience, there have been many times that I've pulled brakes apart and found them incorrectly assembled.

Does your Saxon have a rear transaxle? (Looks like it from the pics.......)

Love the colors Frank! Great to see the progress on the Nash.

Good to have you back posting Frank, I missed your informative, honest, and witty posts!

Good looking truck! What are your plans for it?
