Subject: How do you remove the headliner (on a 65 Dodge)?
Organization: The John P. Robarts Research Institute, London, Ontario
Distribution: na
Date: Thu, 23 Jul 1992 00:20:39 GMT

There have been times when I have been amused by stories of the headliners
of 'modern cars' (mid 80's) that keep falling in because of weak glue, etc.

But I now want to partially remove my headliner (65 Dodge polara) in order
to replace the bead (or whatever that 1/2 inch diameter thing is that runs
between the edge of the door and headliner).

I can't figure it out.  Anyone know?

A friend and I spent the day yesterday in Nashville at the Studebaker meet.  I
bought a headgasket and a few smaller items for my '24.  I also found out some
interesting information about my car.  One fun fact was that the 2" round
light on the dashboard in front of the passenger is actually a flashlight!
It's on a retractable cord, about 3' long.

The ironic part was, that on the way up, in my friend's 1990 735i, I made some
snide comment about the little BMW flashlight that has it's own holder in the
glove box.

For those interested in getting on the MoPar mailing list, email 
jarvis@casbah.acns.nwu.edu  He will work out the details with you.

A couple things to keep in mind.  Flaming on this list is not only a waste
of time, but totally unappreciated.  We have a "small circle of friends who
help each other" mentality and we occasionaly deviate from the mailing list
subject, but don't really make a big deal about it when we do.

The "Blobbidy-blah car is the best and everything else sucks" mentality is 
also not appreciated.  As it is a mopar mailing list, all mopars are cool.
We run the gambit in this area from Chargers to Darts to Furys.  Any year.
even wierd old stuff.  

If interested, give Jarvis a shout.

I second the motion. Keep in mind that even a "perfect condition" vacuum
motor will slow or stall when the manifold vacuum drops off. Therefore, a
"problematic" stall situation is a relative term.

There's also double action fuel pumps available for many models that have a
similar function. One side pumps the fuel; one side provides a bit of
extra vacuum for the wiper motor.

Iceplant is a plant that thrives with very little water.  It is common
here in southern California, and may or may not be considered a weed.
I have a 1964 Plymouth Belvedere that has been driven maybe 10 miles
in the last 6 months, and apparently a certain amount of dirt has
accumulated between the body and the chrome strip that runs along the
side of the car, because yesterday I noticed a 1 1/2" tall iceplant
growing on the car!  I haven't decided if this is better or worse than
the black widow spider I found in the engine compartment.

Hello !

I am looking for Opel GT, a german "sports" car. I'm trying to find such car
and bring in Finland, when age of car goes over 25 years.After that you don't
need to pay so many taxes of it. First model is 1968, but only 500 has built.
In 1969 amount is 30000. So if you know cars or information, please let me
know.


I'm also interesting any places where I can find spare parts (new or used)
Opel Kadett LS Coupe 1500 S '68 and Opel Kadett L Rallye 1100 SR '67.

I have a 67 Pontiac Tempest that I am attempting to restore.  Having read some
of the commentary on welders, I think may try my hand at that for the exterior.

However, that leaves the reason for my posting (and one of the reasons why I 
am trying to restore this car) it is one of the 230 OHC Sport Coupe models.
This also means that finding parts for this particular engine is almost
impossible!!  For instance, since the water pump, oil pump and distributor are
all combined in one housing - I tried looking around for an oil pump rebuilding
kit and once again I heard the refrain that is becoming all too common "I'm
sorry sir, but we used to carry that part about 10 years ago" <Grrr!>

So basically I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with restoring
(or maintaining) a car like this and what my options are.  Also, is it possible 
to use interior parts for sister cars to restore the interior?

Any help on this is VERY apreciated!!

Thanks!!!

That's correct Joe.  The following is a bit of Bat-information taken without
permission from "Wheels and Wings":

The Batman series ran from 1966 to 1968 and the Batmobile was certainly
one of the most important props.  The Batmobile was built by George Barris
who also built such cars as the Beverly Hillbillie's truck, the Munster's
coach and Grandpa's dragster which resembled a rolling bathtub complete
with a tombstone for a radiator.  The Batmobile started life as a 1955
experimental Ford show car called the Lincoln Futura.  It was what Ford
invisioned a car of the future would look like from a 50's point of view.
The car was never driven at more than 40 mph and was taped at half speed
so that it looked more like 80 on the show.

Among the Batmobile standard features were a nuclear power plant, twin
parachutes to bring the beast to a stop for an ultra-quick Bat-turn (a 
U-turn to most folks).  The canopies were bullit-proof and the Bat-anti-
theft-device kept the car secure.  Of course no crime fighting vehicle
would be complete without a Mobile Crime Computer, a Mobile Bat-phone,
homing transmitters and receivers, Bat-armor, a Bat-ram and an ejection
seat.  And what do you do when six arch-criminals escape from jail?  Why
of course you use your Special Escaped-arch-criminal Bat-locator!  Pretty
neat stuff for a "Hot Rod Lincoln"!

One consideration on the inspection issue - they will probably test the 
wipers while the engine is idling. That's good, because that's when there
should be the most engine vacuum available. If they don't work right when
the engine's idling, then you definitely need to look into it.

This is good news- Obviously needed for maximum output only then.

There are complete MIG's available for $175-250, from Harbor Freight,
and your local farm store. You start getting into reliable machines
around $300-500.

2 pound spools are reasonably cheap.

No high-freq required for MIG. It's DC.

More good news here- only needed for 140 amps and up, eh? Great. That
means I may be able to afford to add TIG for small speciality jobs.

>  Both true of MIG.

No, MIG torches do not need water cooling, altho some massive machines
may have a water cooled transformer or something.

Seeing as how I've already got ArCO2 & AR tanks, and a flow regulator
for my MIG, adding TIG capibility may even be reaonable.
