Hey Tony, send us a picture of your tow ute also. I'd love to see it.

I finally got the cupalo finished, next is to get it on top of the
Garage.  If the weathers stays this nice I may not have to wait till
spring. lol The Pheasant turned out real good, looks good on the top,
it even works, maybe, I'm not sure where North is from here. lol
Anyhow, these should be the last photos till I get it up top. (the
Pheasant is SD State Bird)  Now I can concentrate on getting the engine out of the 29 Plymouth. I wish you all a Very good New Years

SD Glenn

I believe you are still in friendly territory..... keeping it in the right family anyhow. lol
Waiting to see your new find.

Hey Chet. These cupolas have been around since the Roman times, I'm not sure when they started the first ones on the barns. (I think the very first ones on the barns were made of wood) They are definitely convection (hot air rises) (kinda like the first Plymouths cooling system) . I am thinking about putting it on top of my garage, however, SD is a pretty windy state, don't know if it would hold up.... lol

Hey all you car guys, hope you all have a Very Merry Christmas
Finished picture of the cupalo, minus the weather vane yet. I realize this does  not have wheels, but is just as "old" as my Plymouth. lol  I like old things........

Chet, your editorializing (I call it rambling on when I do it) hit it right on. I really appreciate this site and all you guys help. Thanks everyone.

Hi Tony, Hope to keep it the original Galvanized, I did find something that is called "Cold Galvanize" paint. I am going to see if that will match up with the "original" color. I have an antique copper "Pheasant" weather vane to put on top. It should top out at about 12 feet tall when finished. I have been having to replace some of the Galvanized that did not hold up to 100 years.lol
Take care,
SD Glenn

We are still at home in "Wintery SD" but no snow yet to speak of. I am also looking for another car to work on this winter, and have not found one yet. Picture of what I did find thou, have been working on that the last few weeks, took a long time to find that also, they are few and far between now days. It is a "Cupalo" for those that may not be familiar with the farm country. They were the ventiation system on top of the old barns in this area. When I get this completed I will post a "completed picture", if anybody is interested.
Later,

For those not using the POC site, Happy Thanksgiving.

Hey, Wheels are looking great, waiting to see the completed vehicle. Great Job!!
SD Glenn

Good luck with that Tony. I am also looking for a winter project, from 34 thru 36 would do for me, I might have better luck by picking more years. LOL. Not done with the present one but that is OK, I'll get there.....
SD Glenn

Hey 1930? , Thanks for the input. I have been in contact with Robert by e-mail. I will be sending the Zerks on to him in the next week. He sent me a few pictures of his project, looks very decent auto to start rebuilding, (solid) also a 57 T-bird must be his also, NICE. Glad to be of help to all. Wayne, I appreciate any info on these old jewel. I saw nothing that should insult anybody, must be very thin skinned if it does. lol  Good luck with yours.

Hey Glenn, I never could get that pretty girl in the seat next to me, so I decided to fix my sloppy shifter.  Rusty, I just got to thinking.... (stange for me) I have an extra transmission, I took it apart. The shift leaver has the same problem you have, you can fix this one if you want and give me back the one from your car later on.
SD Glenn

 Rusty, I had the same problem, give me a call and come on over some time, I can show you what causes the problem. (2-0571)
SD Glenn

I am not offering these zerks up for someone to make a profit from. If anybody has use for them on their Plymouth (or other car) I will be glad to send them to that person.  Thru this forum.
