Now if the tranny doesnt work, ill do something of it 1971 Plymouth Duster 340 auto 1937 Plymouth PT50 1969 Dodge Dart Swinger 340 4 speed 2013 Ram laramie 2500 hemi 2008 Harley FLSTSB springer

Hell no would I pay a penny more...IMHO You take it back, and they charge you 5 bills to 'fix it'??? well, I had a buddy of mine that isn't exactly a tranny guy but knows his way around them enough, put it together as a favor. I would have taken it back to him, but he didn't have the time to get at it for a long while, and I dont want to take advantage of a favor from him. So I took it to this shop expecting it to be something simple like an adjustment or something of that nature, which Im sort of beleiving that was the case in the end. They lead me to beleive it was probably just a band issue or possibly valve body issues at worst and wouldn't take much to get it going being everything is new. Next time I get a tranny done, its either getting farmed out to a reputable place to start or Im going to be hitting the books and do it all myself. 1971 Plymouth Duster 340 auto 1937 Plymouth PT50 1969 Dodge Dart Swinger 340 4 speed 2013 Ram laramie 2500 hemi 2008 Harley FLSTSB springer

I obviously didnt want to go with the incorrect headliner material and repops are crap. I got the idea to recover them in wall paper. Went to menards and found a plain white paper with a very soft, almost grainless texture that i thought looks close to factory. I used upholstery glue, glued it on and dyed them. Turned out a lot better than the alternative and it only cost 5 bucks. If anyone else wants to try this, i have a pile of wall paper you can have Thats all for now, plan on getting more done asap. Mostly i have left is instal 1/4 windows and adjust, seats carpet door panels and a little tweaking here and there 7571687-image.jpg (195 downloads) Last edited by mopars_1; 02/02/13 12:59 PM. 1971 Plymouth Duster 340 auto 1937 Plymouth PT50 1969 Dodge Dart Swinger 340 4 speed 2013 Ram laramie 2500 hemi 2008 Harley FLSTSB springer

Need a way to get rid of the 'parker' stamps on hoses. I bought a condensor, drier and sxpansion valve off ebay. Condensor is pretty close to original. Drier wasnt even close so i bought a nos one along with the switch.. 7602482-image.jpg (212 downloads) 1971 Plymouth Duster 340 auto 1937 Plymouth PT50 1969 Dodge Dart Swinger 340 4 speed 2013 Ram laramie 2500 hemi 2008 Harley FLSTSB springer

I dyed them all with Herbs interior dye and they turned out great. The arm rests are original the had to be repaired. All of them turned out great. Thats it for now, sort of stalled out until i can talk my dad into doing more trim polishing. 7602491-image.jpg (194 downloads) 1971 Plymouth Duster 340 auto 1937 Plymouth PT50 1969 Dodge Dart Swinger 340 4 speed 2013 Ram laramie 2500 hemi 2008 Harley FLSTSB springer
