Yes, my steering wheel on my 59 Ply also cost $1800. In the cost, all the plastic was removed and the metal frame sent out for rechrome which means the chrome plating place has to remove old chrome on the core before new chrome is applied. Also, in the case of the Ply SF Wheel there are two small ch...
Those substitute headliner strips that can be used in the 59 sport fury are not found in the Chrysler Caravan's as I first thought. They are to be found in the full size dodge and plymouth vans that have headliners. Often referred to as Chrysler Part Number L830HW6, were used in full size vans from ...
I have on occasion found myself punching the "drive" push button and stepping on the gas and then hear a rubbing sound coming from the transmission tunnel housing. I then realize I in my rush to get going, I forgot to release the hand brake causing the brake shoes to wear. Plymouth back in...
I am enclosing photo's of my old steering wheel sitting next to the one I just had recasted. As you can see my old wheel is in pretty darn good shape. The old wheel has a slight discoloration in the clear area, the handle grips are smooth (verses textured) and the clear material when casted flowed a...
I am going to try and insert photo's of the headliner work. The first photo shows the sagging condition of the liner (person who did the work said it was on the verge of dropping in it's sagged condition. The second photo show the Sun Visor that were in rough shape. (I believer they were the origina...
I finally got my sagging center section headliner fixed by a local shop. I was very nervous because I had not done business with this shop and was uncertain of the young owner's ability. The new shop was recommended to me by an upholstery shop I had done business with in another town. I decided to g...
Great to know should I obtain a set of the PVC - Grey strips from this guy in Germany. I will keep this in my hip pocket. There are always more ways to accomplish a repair - just have to search out ideas. Sometimes the search can be just as much fun as getting getting and installing the parts. This ...
The car upholstery people will be starting on fixing my sagging center section on the 59 Sport Fury within the next two weeks. They say they will remove the center piece and glue a stiffener material on the back side to get it back to it's original flat condition. Then they will then repaint before ...
I called two different Home Depot stores and they do not handle the Armstrong Fiberglass Ceiling Panels. I gave them Internet #203328948, Model 403A, Store SKU 509748. They could not identify this ceiling panel. So I suspect it is no longer available. I checked with my local Lowe's store also and no...
In my question #2 regarding what holds the center headliner up against the insulation, the reply was to let the side strips hold it in place. (don't even consider a "velcro" type holding option). The center piece side strips are what is presently holding my headliner up albeit some sagging...
I just returned from my local Chrysler Dealer and gave him the molding strips number L830HW6 mid roof 23-23-7. These strips, it was said, could be used in place of the original strips securing the outer pieces of the hardboard headliner with the center piece. The guy in the parts department here in ...
Thanks for the prompt reply - I will do some checking on that insulation material. Good suggestion on rubberized type paint. I wish I was comfortable with placing photo's on this site. I see an "image" feature above that that I thought would allow me to go to my photo files and select the ...
I am looking to redo the headliner in my 59 Sport Fury and in reading earlier post on this subject the last post on headliners was about 5-8 years ago. #1: Ceiling insulation - Dick Koch suggested back then using 2 x4 ft suspended ceiling material insulation and glue it to the underside the roof. (O...
