'59 Plymouth Forum

I would say the damage is not common at all. Sorry for your troubles! The availability of 1959 318 engine blocks is not predictable. I don't have the production numbers in front of me, but it was quite large. I would expect you can find a 318 block with a bit of effort. If you aren't too far from Sa...

The cast iron "branch" fitting can be seen in the far rear corner...the white PVC is coupled to it. I want to know what this room was before it became a bathroom. As for finding the drain, he may have planned the bathroom, knowing the cast-iron was nearby, cut open the floor preparing to d...

piqued my curiosity..what was this room previously? Closet with window?
Was the job inspected? I wouldn't have thought a close 90 elbow on shower line was allowable...

At first glance, it looks to me like a well-planned and executed remodel! Hope this applies to the ceremonies as well!

I found body panel alignment most difficult. Matthew can attest to that.. The drivers door always stood out from the body, and repeated closing of door caused the wind-wing frame to break at one corner. I believe I tore out the new weatherstrip in aggravation

She'll keep you busy!

Never said better! The search for parts (much easier with the advent of the Internet),the solving of various "issues" encountered along the way, the satisfaction of knowing you "did it yourself"..it's not all about the make, the body style, the powertrain... Stick to your guns. I...

I dunno how to post the link to this particular auction...you can find info by Googling Lende Collection..it comes up under http://www.oldcarsweekly.com. An interesting read, Yvette VanderBrink was visibly upset at the lack of bidding. The standing offer from the crusher on each car was $325. if you...

Those plastic parts degrade in heat and sunshine..their color fades, they get very brittle. Good examples are difficult to find... keep your eyes and ears open for barn finds-

I like this one!

That's the best part of this List!

John, somewhere along the way I missed your purchase of appropriate tires...congratulations! They look great. Your car gets me thinking how the various folks in NW Iowa must have viewed my former Belvedere convertible. Although I was never able to coax any vintage pics out of the former owners..(too...

On behalf of those who will benefit from your information, I thank you for going out in negative temps, in your pajamas!
Yes, the A/C horn set was bolted to the passenger side sheet-metal face which runs off the core support. The dryer sat in its own well,formed in the passenger inner fender.

Your comments reminded me that on factory A/C cars, the dual horns were bolted to a single bracket.. ..although I cannot remember where they were located!

According to the 1959 Mopar Parts List, there was 1) factory A/C, called "cowl type" 2) the "903" type. I do not know the difference between the two. They look identical in the schematics, but there are different part numbers. My guess is the 903 was provided to dealers for them ...
