I'm on a mission to find a gas sipper. I know a 67 plymouth isnt what firat comes to mind when the phrase "gas sipper" is said...THAT being said, here is my next project

How she has been sitting for the last few years. She had been covered for MOST of those years, but stuff happens




What a beautiful rear end..MUCH more appealing than Kim Khardashian






Aired up the tires





Hooked the chain to it and the truck. I'm not straight because of how the rest of the yard is, and where its going

Got it drug out, and gave her a bath



After a bath:




Lights still work





The "Leaning tower of power" ....LITERALLY. 2 broken motor mounts



Only surface rust in the trunk



Interior is WAY worse than I remember it...Then again, the last time I looked at this car was maybe 2 years ago




Someone replaced the seats with blue seats at one point in her life. Here is the back seat








Thats it for now. I ran out of time to do anything else with her tonight. She is going to have to wait..

I accidentially broke the ignition back, and while trying to fiddle with her, to see if other things worked (blinkers, yes, heater fan, yes) I accidentially cranked her

I wanted to oil the cylinders first. MAYBE if I can tomorrow, I will head over there to oil the cylinders. We tilted the motor enough to access the distributor, so with a battery, and gas, she might run

So what are the plans?

What's the scoop on the 67 Belvedere sitting in the background?

Made some progress tonight. I was given an ignition switch to replace the one that fell apart in my hand yesterday. We pulled the plugs, oiled the cylinders, then cranked the motor until the oil light went out.

Tried to start her, but after a few fails, we discovered the timing chain is WAY stretched. I ordered a new one, it will be here tomorrow, then I get to spend tomorrow night putting it in

On a brighter note. Here is what I pulled out of the engine when I pulled the thermostat housing




Definately is a 170...but what does the DW stand for?




All tucked in for the night

made some progress on the valiant. I got the nasty smelling interior stripped out to see the damage on the floor boards




Here is the passenger side. someone already did the cheap redneck fix on the passenger side already








A decent day. I scored the 68 taillights to put in there temporarily until I find a good set of 67 lights. I got the horrible horrible interior out, and best of ALL, I SCORED a A833 out of an 83 truck NOW the hunt is on for a 4 speed pedal set, and a slant six car bellhousing

nothing MAJOR done. I got the sun visors I bought off the forum, and they look AWESOME, minus 2 dents from a mirror. no worries, as its getting installed dent up haha





In my quest to learn auto upholstery, I attempted to restore the passenger visor that came with the car...





It didn't come out too bad. I am going to do the tan drivers side next. I want to do my own upholstery, and every bit of practice I can get in, will make a HUGE difference

I think dw stands for dead weight.

Neat project.

Upholstery you better get a sewing machine. I like my old singer

Dustergirl has a good writeup about seat covers if its still on her website

no REAL progress... I havent even brought her home yet. No room in the driveway, because of other peoples crap...thats slowly getting taken care of Had time only for 1 bulky item drop off day last month...next one is on the 17th

Had to get newish tires for her to roll on..OLD:



Can't tell that the new ones are on her..well...USED, but new to her. Had to drive to every shop in town to find a shop that had 13's:




Had to get tires on her that hold air for longer than an hour. Not only because I had to move the car so they could get herc out of his spot, but because of code enforcement HERE, I have to make it look ok for when its over here...

No updates besides tires, and moving her lol

Reminds e of the Valiant I got rid of

Update long time coming. Finally got back to the Plymouth. Changed motor mounts. Old passenger side:
