FINALLY got the then and now pictures.. 55 years later.. Pictured with my Mom ( 102 years young) my 58 Chrysler Windsor in front of the home I grew up and my Mom still lives in.. She was quite tickled to do the photo shoot. ( May 1967 & May 2022)

It has been a while since I posted (July 2021) my first real journey with car ended in a breakdown..had driven the car for about 15 miles and then while driving at about 30 mph on level ground, engine started to miss, shudder and then began backfiring through exhaust and carb.. had carb...

Thanks .. just picked up license plates yesterday.. so am good to go driving:thumbsup:

A step closer.. grill, headlights, parking lights and bright work trim installed. bumper tomorrow?

with a little Saturday morning help from my sons and grandson.:thankyou: took a little bit (lol) of adjustment but we have a hood in place.

I have a runner... I live in the country.. got brave and went for a spin.. all worked out.. transmission shifted smoothly... power steering is really power .. forgot how vague it feels... brakes are a little spongy .. has vacuum boost system and it never instilled a good pedal feel back in the...

engine is reassembled and runs well... good oil pressure, water temperature where it should and exhaust is no longer a steady stream of white smoke. Transmission requires a bit of adjustment to the push button gear selector cable. Generator is noisy.. front bearing.. initially I thought noise...

found the last piece of the puzzle.. changed oil and filter, took filter apart and found nothing. Another search of the lifter valley with a more powerful magnet brought success.... located last piece tucked in behind adjacent lifter.:thumbsup:

Ran into a little glitch... the lifter associated with the sticky valve was damaged and needs to be replaced.. ordered and on the way, should be here by Wednesday... lifter removal was not too difficult... wear on mating surfaces is minimal.. a little shellac on the lower side perimeter .. the...

managed to source out new head bolt to replace the the block heater which does double duty as the center bottom head bolt on the left hand cylinder head.. It is difficult to torque properly and with global warming probably not required any longer. (will post picture of this block heater...

managed to source gaskets... couldn't find a complete set in a package so bought what I needed. White smoke persisted out of left exhaust... head gasket???..... remove left head and sent it out to be tanked and magnifluxed to look for cracks no cracks found but one intake valve was tight in...

It has been a while since I have had a chance to work on the car. How ever today I managed to awaken the engine from it's 25 year sleep. It started and ran with no unwanted noises :thumbsup:.. let it run for 15 minutes.. took about 5 minutes to clear the exhaust smoke..(getting rid of the...

got the headliner installed as well as front and rear windshields... was lucky enough to use the original glass as well as the rubbers. Have the sound deadening and carpet in place. attached the stainless mouldings.

found trim clips that worked nicely.. Original clips i had and refurbed did not want to work and i did not have enough of them either. Found clips that worked well.. correct position of the the connector to align the trim properly. the product was designed for GM cars . worked well on the...
