I hear you, I did a little more work on the Ram 50 yesterday (AC Thermostat needed replaced). Got it all buttoned back up, tool it on a road test and when I went to turn around to go back to the shop one of the needles and seats in the carb decided to puke. A trip to town in the EL Camino and $50 for for a kit later it's running again. Ain't cars fun.

Wow, that sucks. Good thing it didn't bust into flame.

Here ya' go, Matthyj! Right in your home town and you and Falconvan can be almost twins!! This one has a couple of extra doors.... Plymouth Other Cloth | eBay

With the amount of documentation I'm surprised they aren't running it through Barrett-Jackson. I put it in my watch list as I'm curious to see what and if it sells and for how much.

I know Jim, the seller and a great guy and a avid collector, somewhere around 90 collector cars I believe, owns a restored Desoto delaership called Downtown Desoto off the square which is now a museum for his collection, he also own the local Chrysler dealership and a great supporter of our local cruise nights. If you ever get a chance to tour his building its worth a trip! check out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNmQspSW5rE to make your mouth water at some cars I would love to turn into rods! He opens it usually several times a year.

Wow, that's a beautiful car. Wish I had room; you can never have too many old Mopars.

Ok, success after a long weekend of tinkering. The trans is back together, pinon bearing replaced, and I fixed that pesky oil leak by throwing away the spin on oil filter adapter and putting on a good quality Moroso unit. Took it down the road and all the gears are working plus after 30 minutes of around town cruising, the engine temp looked good so this radiator may be big enough. I'll know more when I get it on the highway.

Congrats! So glad it's coming together for you..

You are like me, absolutely hate oil leaks and especially on the concrete driveway or garage floor. Congratulations on finding and curing yours.

Congrats on getting it all wrapped up and working out the bugs!
