Title: I'm still around and have gained another 29 Plymouth!
Post by: Crazydave on April 01, 2024, 07:03:00 PM
Hey fellas,

Been a busy last few years, did more car stuff last summer than usual. Member Frank P passed away last year and I helped his kids sort through his Plymouth stuff. I ended buying his roadster. We cruised it to the local shows around me quite a bit last summer. Below are a few shots from one of the threshing shows I bring stuff to and Frank use to meet me at. Couldn't pass up some sunset shots in front of a period correct gas pump! Also brought out the old original sedan and its a horse a piece for what gets more attention. Have to keep people (and kids) interested in this old stuff to keep it alive!

I plan on doing some videos on the cars this summer and will post them here when they are complete.

I do have some random parts from Franks collection I have to go through yet, so if anyone is looking for something odd I may have it. (that guy kept everything)

The national meet is in Minnesota this year and I plan to go for the first time. So if anyone is planning on making the trip let me know!

Great pictures Dave. It's good to have you coming around again. Videos would be good too. I am still looking for some hood latches (both pieces) for our 29 Touring and I still haven't figured out anything on wipers but I haven't tried very hard.

Hay Dave, I'm glad you got Franks car I'm sure he is looking down with a big smile. 

I thought about Minnesota but think it might be a bit to far even with the car trailer. Anyway dealing with some critical issues at home that are monopolizing my spare time. 

Congratulations, Chet

Roadster looks great!  You can't beat an open car!
I am still looking for the side mount hold down hardware for my 30-U if you come across any of it.

Don't have much of any body stuff and both my wipers assemblies are shot. Probably have to buy some generic kit or find a ford or chev cross over.

I get it, its a long haul from the coast. I never made it to a national show and since its finally landing here, I better go!

I hope you get your issues resolved, best of luck.

thanks

Thanks Russ T. Didn't see much for that kind of hardware, but I think the parts motor he had sitting in the garage (which I'm now tripping over) was a 30. Not in great shape, think I'll part it out and toss the bad.
