  1. Is the wind lace on the driver’s door falling off the frame on the B pillar? And are we at all concerned that there is no picture of the engine bay or trunk? Or the underside? As much as I love our American flag it concerns me that someone would put a giant sticker on a door’s paint. My friend did that to cover a nasty dent.
  2. I’m not calling the information you gave misguided. I’m saying bringing it up to a crowd that are already feeling attacked was misguided. I thought the information was good because any research that proves fact is important. Unfortunately in todays society we are supposed to “believe the science” until it isn’t what we want to hear. So no matter how much fact and research we provide to say we aren’t the cause of all of life’s issues they will still say that we are. You and I have argued in the past about things but I didn’t have an issue with you saying that we aren’t the problem. The main message of my post was lost. If this is going to be used to pit members against members then it may not be worth the argument, at least here.
  3. Peter, it was a nice but misguided attempt to present this material. We all know electric vehicles have become a political agenda because our politician, including the President of the United States has decided to force them by 20__.. That makes them political. This topic has been deleted many times due to the aggressive approach of responses and personal attacks brought up by it. Unfortunately they did not allow the consumer to decide if they want electric vehicles, they are attempting to force them upon us. We have seen in this very thread that the debate is as sensitive as the abortion topic. So I think it would be in the best interest of this forum that you do what you do when other threads get aggressive and remove it.
  4. I find it funny how some cars are the holy grail on here and others are garbage regardless of condition. For $2500 any car with all its fenders and an engine is worth it in today’s world. There is a Hudson a guy on here is going to buy at around $13000 for the similar condition and everyone says he would be crazy not to buy it. Help me understand this bizarre logic.. please..
  5. 28 months! That’s far too long. There are plenty of things I can do but I’m losing steam when I have seen no progress updates, I haven’t been told that they are even assembling it. And every time I hear from him they have been “closed.” And then he has the nerve to tell me he gave me a discount for waiting. It it’s still almost $9k. And to add insult to injury a friend of mine had an engine rebuilt by them too. He gave it to them last year and the engine is already back in the car. It’s hard to keep your chin up when you can’t move the thing or hear it run. How does one get the motivation. To spend thousands of dollars on a lawn ornament? I guess it’s just finally hitting me that I made a mistake with using this guy and he certainly isn’t getting my ‘51 Dodge engine that I want to rebuild..
  6. This engine situation has caused me to completely lose motivation. The engine was supposed to be done by August 1st. The engine rebuilder didn’t get back to me and I finally got in touch with him two days ago. He said to me they were closed for four weeks and just started running again. I’m so sick of his excuses. I told him he has until 9/16 and I’m coming to get the engine whether it’s finished or not. He told me I can’t. If it’s not finished he isn’t releasing it. So now he has my engine held hostage. I’m so disgusted I’m tempted to just sell the car and let some fool put an LS engine in it and hot rod the damned thing…
  7. Took some time but I was able to piece together what was missing on the fender. I have to clean it up and grind the welds but I’m pleased with the look and I’m pleased with how it fits on the car.
  8. Looking at the seller’s page he has several listings, including this car at least 3 times. In one of them that is listed at $5,500 it shows it running. Is that a recent video? To me it sounds like it needs some tuning up.
  9. I would love to hear the real history of this car. The engine was removed due to an oil leak. It’s a 1953 engine so I am assuming the ‘52 engine had a bad cam shaft like they were known for. The metal under the grill is crumpled. This fender was clearly damaged and repaired. The whole car was repainted in a similar to original color. The front driver’s fender doesn’t have undercoating yet every other panel does. So I’m assuming it was in a nasty accident and the repairs I’m finding were done to quickly get the car back on the road. But I don’t know very much about the car.
