The Canadian Dodges are the same as the American Plymouths. The American Dodges are a different animal and are bigger. A Canadian 39 Dodge and an American 39 Dodge almost nothing will interchange. I am fairly certain that the 37/38s are in the same boat as well where nothing will interchange between the American model and the Canadian model. We have 2 Canadian 39 Dodges (a cpupe and a sedan) and searching for parts can get to be fairly frustrating to say the least. Especially if the person you're buying parts from doesn't know that they're different.
oldnslow Posted June 15, 2019 Posted June 15, 2019 Found a like new Daisy "Red Rider" at the flea market , grandson's first gun .
cobraman Posted June 15, 2019 Posted June 15, 2019 Started my daughter on that very same rifle. I had to cock it for her at first.
Joe Handley Posted June 15, 2019 Posted June 15, 2019 Dad went to Lowes and picked a new bbq grill and I went along since we needed new box cutter blades and they're the only place I've found that has the Irwin BiMetal blades, weeeeeeeeeelll, almost $90 later
LouO Posted July 4, 2019 Posted July 4, 2019 426 Pack, That's a nice truck! Good luck with her. You know what I got to...dump the cats litterbox, followed by a chance to use my crappy power washer and clean a garbage can for tomorrows picnic. What a wonderful day! LOL

Joe Handley Posted July 9, 2019 Posted July 9, 2019 Hope it's rebuildable, looks like somebody was using it as a boat anchor.
misterNNL Posted July 17, 2019 Posted July 17, 2019 I got what I consider to be a great gift. To make sure this object is not simply discarded someday a couple that attends the same church we do gave me an 1861 civil war era hand sewn American flag. They have had it for decades after discovering it in the attic of an old country home here in Ohio. Since I am the president of our local historical society it will a permanent display item in our community museum. The flag is understandably fragile and will undergo some preservation before being displayed.

Ace-Garageguy Posted July 17, 2019 Posted July 17, 2019 Just ran the numbers on some questionable "junk" I pulled out of the scrap dumpster at one of the shops I work with last week. 1) A pair of 1965 Pontiac 389/421 open-chamber heads with 1.92 intake valves, 1.66 exhausts. Said to have come off a '65 GTO. Nothing wrong with them other than a burned exhaust valve. No cracks. Chrome factory valve covers. Correct for a '65 GTO. 2) A ''57-'59 283 Chevy engine, complete. 4-bbl "power pack" cylinder heads with the right casting marks. Said to have been "all bad inside", and pulled out of a '65 Malibu. Tear down revealed nothing but normal wear, another 2 burned exhaust valves, which would account for horrible running and low compression on 2 cylinders. Cam badly worn, otherwise in good shape. Cylinders have never been bored, no sign of overheating or water in the sump. The bonus: a forged steel crankshaft, lightly scored STANDARD sized main and rod journals. Engine's worth some change to anyone doing a period-correct resto or hot-rod. 3) A pair of perfectly good smallblock Chevy oil pans, one chromed and painted over, the other cadmium plated and also painted over, looks new other than the paint. I like to have core pans on hand to cut and modify for engine swaps, and I'll be needing to build a winged pan for an upcoming project. I will never ever understand "professional mechanics" who throw away perfectly usable vintage parts, parts that will NEVER EVER be made again, because they're "broken".
misterNNL Posted July 17, 2019 Posted July 17, 2019 Maybe we should use the term "parts changers" instead of mechanics.
426 pack Posted August 11, 2019 Posted August 11, 2019 I went to an auction yesterday and got a lot of old car magazines and auto trader.
Cpt Tuttle Posted September 7, 2019 Posted September 7, 2019 Found some cheap Cragars so I had to buy them, two 14x7" and two 14x10"..... If I have any use for them? No!

russosborne Posted September 28, 2019 Posted September 28, 2019 Well, 2 weeks ago I bought another 1972 Ford Ranchero. Beater, but almost no rust. Unlike the other one I have. Short term plan is to just get it through emissions test and have it be my daily driver. Need to strip the other one asap, engine is going in my 79 Pinto. Will save the doors, interior, glass, and front sheet metal. Eventually I will be swapping some of it onto the new 72. And the rest is for "just in case". Russ
Joe Handley Posted October 5, 2019 Posted October 5, 2019 Picked these up for the 200, non scratching, full high grade silicone and fits the plates like a cell phone cover and doesn't cover anything important while in use.
ewetwo Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 Picked these up. Don't know how old any of them are.
Ace-Garageguy Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 Upgraded my scanner inventory with a new Autel unit. The older cars I'm fond of are failing as their electronics age, and it's becoming increasingly necessary to be able to work deeper in the computers to correctly diagnose and repair systems. The newer Autel gives me expanded capability. Autel delivers incredible power for the money, but warranty claims require sending the unit to China. One would really think a cost-effective tool like this would be manufactured in the good ol' USA, but no dice.

Little bit of research should put a date on it. With the other two who knows. If it were me I would probably put the red car up on the flat deck of the blue truck and just display them like that. That flat deck is especially neat.
