PhilA Posted December 16, 2023 Author Share Posted December 16, 2023 Just ordered the brake master distribution block, next up need to get some fittings and brake pipe. I do have flexis for this somewhere, but no telling if they're correct. Â Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilA Posted December 18, 2023 Author Share Posted December 18, 2023 Beat this to shape and welded it in. Figured I needed to get back to some bodywork. Â Phil RayMK, Rust Collector, Mrs6C and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilA Posted January 3 Author Share Posted January 3 Added another. All just hand tools. The die bender has been particularly useful. Those should be the most complex shapes now; the rest are all just big long straight runs.

PhilA Posted January 15 Author Share Posted January 15 Hard freeze coming. No antifreeze in the Plymouth. Winterizing in progress... Done. Can't freeze if there's nothing in it. Â Phil Rust Collector, Dyslexic Viking, djim and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Phil Did this one year, drained the rad rather than put antifreeze in. [I was a poor teenager] Water pump froze. Had to walk to work. Didn't crack the block fortunately. Put antifreeze in after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonight we shouldn't see too much but tomorrow night is supposed to be windy and cold, that's going to be the problem. Â Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilA Posted January 23 Author Share Posted January 23 Ran it to boiling with dishwashing soap in. Drained, flushed. Worked very well. Need to get some proper antifreeze now. Â Phil JMotor, mercedade, RayMK and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilA Posted January 24 Author Share Posted January 24 Green juice! That'll hopefully stunt the formation of new corrosion. Â Phil danthecapriman, Datsuncog, Mally and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilA Posted March 21 Author Share Posted March 21 Well, where were we? Â Oh yes. All the coolant fell out because it cleaned some rust away which was all that was left of a core plug. I bought a core plug set. Need to pull the engine out to fit those. At the same time I might get a seal set for the gearbox. Also welded up a couple holes in the trunk. Not much else to report.
