I think i have a couple spares. I will try to get a pic tomorrow.

Oops I didn't ever see this reply. I will get photos tomorrow and email you.

I think the one on the 50 royal I am parting out is good. I will check tomorrow and get a pic.

Nice car. We have two travelers we are restoring, 50 and 51. We didn't know a thing about them. I learn more each time I log on.

Be sure to spray any mouse nests with 10:1 bleach water. I caught hantavirus in 99 cleaning a mouse nest out of my truck. Its not something to mess with. I actually shot the mouse and bragged to hubby how I watched his brains scatter on the grass behind it...then I cleaned up the nest and two weeks later I got sick. After a two week coma and the doctors telling my family I had an eight percent chance to survive...I woke up. Don't chance it. Its an airborne virus.

A guy with a 53 new yorker wanted to know if the steering columns from any of our parts cars will work in his car. He needs it to be manual steering....which ours are. Will the column out of a 50 chrysler royal, 50 windsor or 55 dodge lancer work in a 53 new yorker?

Greg, we need to keep the carb and etc until we get the traveler going. I will let you know when it come available. We need to be sure to have everything we need for it. Frank, no usable carpet. We would sell a transmission. Make us a fair offer. We can take down to a freight hauler and put on a pallet for you. Our zip is 99009....but we would take to spokane to ship freight.

I think i have both.

My email is team_weaver@hotmail.com. thanks.

I just checked the royal and didnt see one but i will check the 3 windsors later on when it cools down. I think i have seen one around...now to find one, lol.

Hey Greg, I keep meaning to ask if you found the baggie with the bolts. I figured if you didn't have the pulley you wouldnt have bolts so I just threw them in. Let me know if you find anything else you need. Off of any of these cars.

Clever idea, John.... I hope i remember it if i ever need to figure out something like that.

Thanks for the input. That is good to know. We would definitely be buying a used flashed motor/tranny from a crashed car and then building it up. Probably will cost under4 grand. That really sucks the experience you had. The price they charge I would think everything would be double checked. If they knew they had a bad batch they should have made it right with those who had problems. Customer satisfaction aint important like it used to be, I guess.

Thanks for the info.

Nope, we didnt buy it, darnit. As for it being lousy drag car...that is your opinion. ALL gassers are big and heavy. They just have hp. They are usually pretty slow...but its not always the funnest going quickest...I just love the look and sound of them. Plus, the class we will run in is sportsman, so quickness isn't important as consistency. Hubby is a retired manufacturing engineer (boeing) who has built drag cars from junk yard cars before....so I am confident he will figure out where all it needs braced....and where we can remove weight. Most fifties cars are big and heavy by today's standards. I mostly see tri-5 chevies turned into gassers...but they too have every nonessential part removed. We may change our mind but I doubt it. We are looking at the new hemi for running gear, though. Even in a gasser.
