  1. Body filler generally doesn't go bad. It usually fails because of application techniques. Metal finish the repair are as best as possible. That is so it minimizes the amount of filler needed. Filler should never be more than 1/8th inch thick. Certainly no more than a 1/4 inch in extreme cases.
  2. This product was good. https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=7bad1c8c92bb61f8JmltdHM9MTcwNDI0MDAwMCZpZ3VpZD0wZmYxMTA0Ni0wYmQyLTY1MzAtMzhmZi0wM2ZkMGE1ZDY0NWMmaW5zaWQ9NTI0OA&ptn=3&ver=2&hsh=3&fclid=0ff11046-0bd2-6530-38ff-03fd0a5d645c&psq=flitz+metal+polish&u=a1aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZmxpdHouY29tLw&ntb=1
  3. My wife and I took advantage of a near 50 degree Christmas Day to take out Chrysler Traveler out for a ride.
  4. Are you running a mechanical fuel pump? With summer heat, you may be getting vapor lock after driving around in the summer heat. My Chrysler Traveler has an electric fuel pump. i have not had a problem with starting. I can just hit the push button start and the car fires up.
  5. Actually. The mill and drill process was lauded at the time and used in several vehicles after the Fiero Introduction. The first generation GMT199 (U) vans ( Lumina-Transport-Silhouette) as well as the Saturn S-series. I have an 86 GT I purchased from the original owner. It had sat in her garage for twenty years. I had all the calipers, pads and rotors replaced in order to make it road worthy. That was 8 years ago and it has been a trouble free car ever since. You have to remember. These were built to be a sporty economy car. Hence the attrition rate of these cars.
  6. Unfortunately, the step for my Traveler has been lost over the years. I have spoke to several people regarding the particulars of the step. The Traveler is such an obscure model, very few people knew of this feature. I decided that I will attempt to fabricate one on my own. Shouldn't be too difficult.... Right. Here is a cardboard mock up that I put together by using the above photos. I have no dimensions to go by. Just have to eye it up using the photos.
  7. I purchased a 49 Chrysler Traveler this past summer. I found out that they had a step that aided in loading items on the roof. After some research, I found 2 photos of the step.
  8. 1949 Chrysler Traveler. Northeast PA.
  9. Why not buy a blue tooth speaker and run with that.
  10. Noted. Thank you. Planning on being there Thursday and Friday.
  11. Looking for "Flipper" Window crank handles for my Chrysler Traveler. Maybe another Bullseye Headlamp or at least a matched set of 6v headlamps. Odds and Ends. Anyone with post war Mopar Stuff? Where will you be?
  12. I recently purchased a 1949 First Series Chrysler Traveler. I have been taking inventory of items with the car while doing some clean up. Two items I need to find more info on are; a wheel cover and trim ring removal tool and a rear step to aid in loading items onto the roof. I was able to find a picture of the step on the internet. Any additional information or details on these parts are appreciated.
