mcdarrunt Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 A very nice car. The one I did was a disaster so ended up as a street rod. Do have a number of original parts left from it including most of the running gear and wood spoke wheels. If you come up needing something (and I can find it) let me know. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

51Baldeagle Posted November 17, 2016 Author Share Posted November 17, 2016 Nice streetrod the gentleman I bought the car from had suggested me to turn it into a streetrod, but I told him if I can start it up I will leave it alone, I did so im driving all original having a blast getting a lot of thumbs up, its been a challenge but thanks to the guys on this forum it's been great, had my starter rebuilt yesterday today I'll replace it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcdarrunt Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 You did exactly the right thing to do in keeping it original. The street rod one does go to a lot of proms and weddings. Just finding the parts to make it resemble a 30U again was a chore so the running gear and chassis went modern but at least it can be identified.

51Baldeagle Posted November 21, 2016 Author Share Posted November 21, 2016 Question mcdarrunt I noticed the windshield on your model u like mine, opens or is it that it was off the frame, very nicely made im also a streetrodder too nice job I also bought this 1927 Chrysler touring basket case I'll post some pics I do have the doors, radiator and shell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcdarrunt Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Windshield is off the frame and just sitting in opening. Something weird happening here, we both worked a 30U and now I'm doing a 27 Chrysler Roadster with the exact same Touring(?) car you have as a parts car. It's in a storage container on the farm but will get a pic next time I'm up there. Nearly same condition as yours but with the wood spoke wheels.

51Baldeagle Posted November 24, 2016 Author Share Posted November 24, 2016 Yes sir this one already has Chevrolet axels, guy don't say anything to me before they would say I'm crazy, bought a 1936 ford 4dr that was used for a moonshine transport according to story behind it, it was all rusty though even the frame got another frame it my next project to put it together as a streetrod/rat rod. This is a after I put it together to drive around, now I torn it down replace frame, reared with a mustang rear, flathead out replacing with a 4.3 with automatic transmission. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

51Baldeagle Posted December 23, 2016 Author Share Posted December 23, 2016 Hey mcdarrunt did you buy your car in Mexico? if you did how hard was it to cross over paper work wise any problems with Mexican border personal, we live less than two hundred miles never even try, just curious.

mcdarrunt Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Had my friend that lives in Mission and does cross border business handle the ins and outs of the border crossing. Required the mandatory "tips" totaling about $350 to grease the wheels (and palms). I get all my titles through the Oklahoma Title 42 Law which takes about 16 weeks but is less than a bonded one and 100% legal. It does require an Oklahoma mailing address (not box) but since one of the guys that works for me still has his fathers shop in Lawton, OK, it's not a problem.

There should be a packing adjuster nut at the front of the shaft. If it is a very minor drip of water leak, you can tighten the nut a bit. That was normal service during car maintenance. If the car was not used for decades, the packing may be too hard or stiff. In that case, you replace the rope-like packing with new packing. When you unscrew that packing nut out, you use thin ice-pick type tool to dig out the old packing. Then see if the shaft is rusty-pitted where the packing was, If it is Ok, and if the shaft is not sloppy up and down, just put new packing in with lube. There is an old-time "house well water pump" place in our area. That type of business would have rope packing. Another place that should have something, is a "hydraulic rebuild shop" that fixes construction hydraulic pumps, cylinders, and valve bodies. They should have some rope packing for the older vintage valve bodies. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

51Baldeagle Posted August 8, 2019 Author Share Posted August 8, 2019 Hello! hope all of you all doing great, well had a problem with the motor on my 31 Plymouth. I had a valve get stuck, open up the side cover tap it and it open work for a while but same problem again. thinking of switching engines to the 28-29 silver dome, only thing is will the drive match up with the 30-31. Only thing is this motor doesn't have a water pump. did this as last resort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ply33 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Not sure how spraying oil where the tappet contacts the valve will make any difference on a sticking valve. Seems to me that the sticking would most likely be between the valve stem and the valve guide. Second most likely would be the tappet sticking. Taking the head off, removing the valve and cleaning or reaming the guide would probably fix it. If you have a valve spring lifter and the correct size reamer, and nothing unexpected comes up, it probably would take less time to do that than it took you to rig all that plumbing.

51Baldeagle Posted December 13, 2023 Author Share Posted December 13, 2023 Well hello from San Antonio Tx, Merry Christmas and a happy new year, here again with my 31 Plymouth model U, recently my water pump went out after 5 years of driving the car. I took it off found out the oil and Grease I was applying on filling tube was not going anywhere. The bushing installed were not perforated bushings, Graphite Packing Rope was not applied, instead Teflon tape. All good now great learning experience on breaking down and putting together my water pump, let's ride and enjoy it again. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
51Baldeagle Posted February 6 Author Share Posted February 6 Well guys after weeks of trying to fix an old worn out water pump. Here's an update. Decided to regroup and figured out a newer pump approach. Surfing for water pumps I came across a 1961 JEEP had to make modifications but here are the end results. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
