G'day Mark, you're doing a top job there, but could you do me a favour and slow down, I started my model 65 restore a year age and you're miles ahead of me, great job mate and keep up the good work I'm going to learn a lot by following your great updates, do you need anything for the car?

Although not Hassler Shocks the video from the Dodge forum might have similarities that might help you.

Thanks for that, I reckon I'll try and give it a go and see if I can do a good enough just to 1/2 match your results.

Your work on the Hood bows has inspired me to have a crack at emulating your great work and make my own set of Hood Bows for the (Chrysler) tourer I'm working on , if you don't mind what type and thickness ply did you use and in bending did you soak or steam the ply beforehand and if so how long for soaking/steaming the ply. Love your work!

G'day Matt, I know it's early days but when you get a chance I'd really would like to know how those breathers are going on the shocks, thinking to do the same on my Chrysler, any suggestions would be welcomed. By the way, fantastic job!

G'day Mark, Hope your doing well mate, PM sent Cheers Alex

Great to hear, once a sale is completed I would be interested in the remaining FEDCO badge, please PM with a photo and price. Thanks to all concerned.

That's great gentleman, I'm sure Alain would prefer an original FEDCO badge to finish off his car, please be patient as Alain lives over in France and relies on his son or son inlaw to translate for him but I'm sure he'll be over the moon with this news.

Alain, would something like this do? They are available on eBay: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Chrysler-Blank-Serial-Number-Id-Tag-Data-Plate-Hot-Street-Rod-Rat-Rod-Chrysler/393123568896?hash=item5b87fd9d00:g:n2QAAOSwh~dgHnFU You could stamp your own number, perhaps you could use your engine number to match.

Hi leomara, no offense taken. When I look at my Chrysler Master Parts List it lists two separate part numbers for the Rear wheel hubs for the 62 and 72, 38759 for the 62 and 70882 for the 72, you would assume if the hubs were the same you would only have one part number, anyway we can only go by what's written in our reference books. Glad you were able to work out the problem.

Seems a bit odd that Dukey is such a loving beautiful boy, well I mean being manufactured by "Growl" you'd think he'd be a bit on the mean side? Love your work!

Hello rjp, any chance of a photo of the dash tag?

Yes this one is more like your style https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-BC-Ford-1946-48-Fuel-Pump-w-Glass-Great-Condition/233636201478?hash=item3665cd8406:g:avAAAOSwofVe~P7k no sure about the lever type. As Tom said have a look under the screen filter and see if there is something there like this

It's a BC fuel pump, you can see the BC on the top the pump in one of the first photos, there one on eBay at the moment: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-BC-Fuel-Pump-with-Glass-Bowl-/233571644169 Although the outlet is in a different position to yours but I think you can make it work.

Ron was kind enough to ship it out to Australia for me so sorry guys but it has been sold. Thanks for all your help Ron!

Thank you Narve, that's great!

Hi Narve, Happy New Year to you, you wouldn't happen to have a pattern of the leather gaiters you can share?

You might consider contacting Jay email is astheime@ptd.net I bought a pair of steel water jackets from him about 3 years ago for $40 and am very happy with them, he did have more of them so with a bit of luck he might still have some.

ckowner, is your step pad still available for sale?

Firstly Condolences for your loss, Unfortunately I'm here in Australia but I would haved loved to bring that car back to life for you. Have you considered contacting a Chrysler Restorers Club in the US? members of our clubs over here volunteer to help finish off unfinished project like Bill's. I have looked up on the web and found this: Carolina Chrysler Club 6435 Goodman Lake Road, Salisbury, NC 28146 Kevin Gilland, President 704-636-5427 OR Chrysler Product Restorers Club Carolina Chrysler Club, 575 Paulowina Drive, China Grove, NC 28023. Cheryl Marsh. Maybe some there might be willing to help finish Bill's second Love , Good Luck.

keiser31, Went through this last year with our fires here in Australia so completely understand your situation, Great to hear that you and your wife are safe and that your home was not affected, our prayers and thoughts are with you in this trying time. Hopefully you will be able to recover from this without too many scars and enjoy your home once again soon. Take care and stay safe! Best wishes for Down Under.

Hi Rob, I think that I might have the rubber pad holders cast in aluminium and the pad holder bracket that bolts half way down the guard is cast in brass it holds one of the pad holders in place, will message you when I get back home and find the bracket.
