How long have you had your ride?

This was a question put to me as a forum topic by Curt Lambdin of Ellicott City, MD. And an excellent topic it is! I'll be happy to start -- Faulkner and I have been inseparable since January 29th, 2003. You can read all about how it came to be here: http://www.59plymouth.net/faulkner/page13.html Ho...

OK, have your fun guys... The World's Slowest Webmaster is slowly fixing the attachments. We're down to 198 busted attachments -- not enough displacement to power any '59! :twisted:

Why guns aren't permitted at DMV

I recently moved from NJ to PA. In PA, to get a car registered as an antique, you need to fill out MV-11, provide a picture of each side of the car, a VIN rubbing, etc., etc., sacrifice your first born child, and swear a fanatical devotion to the pope. Then, maybe, you'll get antique plates. I went...

Re: Off to the transmission shop...

(*sigh*)... Now, to explain all this to Marie... Well, I debated with myself how to handle this, until I decided that honesty was the best policy. I called her at work, and told her "I have bad news about the car." I guess at first she thought I had an accident in our regular car! So perh...

Dan Just to cheer you up a little: Don’t look to much on the money – it’s already gone and you receive a good transmission for it and don’t have to worry or even think about it anymore. A friend of mine once said: “I don’t know how much it costs and I also don’t want to know how much it is, because...

Dan, That is totally harsh news. I have a hard time believing it..the former owners treated the car well! What company in WA state had the needed parts? I'm not sure, Roger -- it's one that Roy identified through his connections. I just now checked my Fatsco receipt: May of 2003. And I didn't put m...

Re: Off to the transmission shop...

No news yet, Ron -- although I'm told they're breaking down the transmission right now. I expect a diagnosis tomorrow. Dan :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: Faulkner's transmission tore itself to shreds. The torque converter and front pump I had replaced about 3 years ago? It bought the farm; it's a mi...

Re: Off to the transmission shop...

Hi Dan, how bad is the news? Should I keep another trip to Carlisle in my schedule for next year? No news yet, Ron -- although I'm told they're breaking down the transmission right now. I expect a diagnosis tomorrow. But it's "Carlisle or Bust" next year! Not too early to start talking ab...

Re: Licence plates

Just noticed Dan, theres no plates on your car! How come? Well, that's another story! I recently moved from NJ to PA. In PA, to get a car registered as an antique, you need to fill out MV-11, provide a picture of each side of the car, a VIN rubbing, etc., etc., sacrifice your first born child, and ...

transmission recommendation

Well, I've been asking around about a recommendation for someone who can help me with Faulkner's transmission. I just received this reply from my friend Lou Cortese (from the [FWDLK] site): Dan, I spoke to the fellow who does my state inspections,Steve Murray. He's an antique car guy like us, he has...
