Both cars made it home with no unexpected stops or parts forcefully ejected along the roadway.

It's always nice to get home in the same car you set out in... be it new Computomatic 500... or a real car!

About 250 miles round trip.

The 37's Jag-motor didn't self disassemble and the 54's Ultramatic still moves the car forward.

Does anyone have a modern part number(s) for the front and rear u-joint on a 115-C?

I'd like to find the type that have a grease fitting on them.

I think it may be a Moog 508. Can anyone confirm?

That suuuure looks like the one on my '37. I replaced mine about four years ago and sourced it from NAPA locally; we have a regional warehouse here. I didn't bother to write down the part number though.

It's looks correct, just not sure if the sizes are the same.

Next time your up under there let me know if you see a part number on the joint.

If the Moog 508 is the correct size, here are the other listed interchanges for it:

I need to get under the car and verify what parts are currently being used, as I am not 100% sure what parts were used and/or swapped when the car was pieced together. I know some 120 parts are used here and there.

The rear edge off the right front fender has always been rough and torn. So I ground the paint down and welded in a patch

I still need to do all the other metal work on this fender (and car), so it just got a quick shot of rattle can black to ward of rust for the time being.








Half way through the welding, my welds started to look like crap. That's when I realized I was out of welding gas. So had to run and get a refilled tank. Argon/CO2 is getting expensive.

If you can't find a u.joint with a grease fitting.

Always can add one.
