Beware of a new scam I had pulled on me in broad day light.
Tim Wolfe replied to auburnseeker's topic in General Discussion
Most parking lots have cameras, did you check with Walmart? My son in laws garage was broken into and tools and mowers were taken. There is a parking lot behind his garge that belongs to the police dept. Got them on tape! -
Forgot to tell you we have two model 70's built in 1929. A Royal Coupe and a Brougham. Brougham is all original and the coupe is a concours show winner. We have never seen another Model 70 Brougham.

Water Pump Packing Material
Tim Wolfe replied to A. Ebbert's topic in Our Cars & Restoration Projects
I did away with the rope packing on my 1930 Chryslers. I had the part the gland nut screws on to accept a lip seal. Haven't had a leak yet! And, you can't see the seal, pump looks original. I have pictures if your interested and send me an email address. timandjuliawolfe1@roadrunner.com -

Somewhere I read about a place to order a split shell for different fan sizes and radiators. I wish my car had one but I do point shows.

Stripping Wood Spoke Wheels Prior to Restoration
Tim Wolfe replied to leomara's topic in Chrysler Products - General
Restoration shop used paint stripper then diluted bleach and the wood spokes look new. -
Stripping Wood Spoke Wheels Prior to Restoration
Tim Wolfe replied to leomara's topic in Chrysler Products - General
If you look up the balance bead and find their web site, they will tell you how many to put in and how to do it. Had to remove the valve stem and use a bottle with a nozzle to install them. They suggested holding a dremel tool against the valve stem to help shake the beads and get them to flow. Took our car out for a drive today. -

You might be interested in reading about balance beads. I used them on my 1930 Chryslers and I'm pleased with the results. -
1951 Chrysler trunk-lid springs
Tim Wolfe replied to Curt McConnell's topic in Chrysler Products - General
Can you remove the top hinge bolt and then pull it forward to remove the spring while it is under some tension? The bottom hole is slotted to remove the bottom bolt. -
Jay Astheime "Pre 1930 Chrysler"
Tim Wolfe replied to John Keogh's topic in Chrysler Products - General
I just talked to him a few weeks back, he's still selling parts. -
Not necessarily, early production model 70's had a pennon louvered hood too.

Several years back I looked a Model 70 in Illinois that was built from other cars, owner was very upset when I pointed that out to him. Got a lot of hate mail from him and started calling my wife very nasty names. I filed a complaint with the post office and they stopped that.

Came home from SE Asia as a S/Sgt. in 1970 and bought a 1970 Chevy Chevelle , had it a few weeks and was hit head on by a drunk in a new Impala totaled both cars. Bought a 1969 Mustang 428 SCJ, sold it when I got married. Kids are grown and gone so we now have two 1930 Chrysler Model 70s. Coupe is a show car and the Brougham is an all original driver.

1928 Pulling Rear Brake Drums with Wooden Wheels
Tim Wolfe replied to leomara's topic in Chrysler Products - General
I took a spare front wheel to a local shop for a pattern and had one made for my '30 Chrysler. It worked great, has been in the cabinet ever since! -
1928 Chrysler Model 72 Roadster Running Boards
Tim Wolfe replied to leomara's topic in Chrysler Products - General
I referred him to a restoration shop several years back and they were very impressed with his work. -
Very nice restoration!

I'm looking into buying blocks and carving them. $739 for blocks of tire rubber seems way to high! I think I paid $500 for them when I restored my coupe.
-
Does anyone know of a source for the rubber spring mounting blocks other than Steele Rubber?
-
You make it sound soooo easy! Had to pull the back of the spring down while jacking the center up. It wouldn't slide in. But I was successful!
