  1. With that number on the frame of RD24 I am assuming it is a D24 frame? Does that mean there might be somewhere to buy reproduction pillars and posts etc?
  2. Here is a close up pic of the engine plate area. The scratches are a last ditch effort by me trying to read it.
  3. Just found this on the frame at the back.
  4. Oh actually I've managed to glean enough info from the dizzy and generator. The dizzy plate part number seems to be 1121946 but a quick google doesn't show anything for this. The generator is 853771 which seems to have some options on google. Not sure if this helps on the frame identification though?
  5. Where the engine number should be is pretty much completely worn out. I have found a plate loosely attached above the dizzy which reads SM1 854. Not sure if that means anything? There is also a plate on the dizzy but the only thing I can make out is a portion of the part number which seems to end in 946. There is a plate on the generator but this is too far gone to read anything as well.
  6. Thanks Reg, I can see a couple of very faint lines but I think that might be lost forever. Andy - Sorry I forgot to say I am down in South Gippsland in Victoria.
  7. Hmmm can't seem to find the engine number. The fenders continue into the doors which leads me to think the hinges are actually internal. Really getting annoyed with losing all those photos of it in one piece now. I've got the doors stored up high on shelving so I climbed up this morning to have a look at them and of course both the 1/4 windows are missing as well as the hinges so I can't tell what they were.
  8. Gidday! I thought I would be the only one for sure! 20 years ago I helped someone rebuilt an engine and I've always wanted to do up a car since then. That's about my extent of car knowledge. I'm an electrician by trade so I can use a set of pliers as a hammer but in all seriousness I bought this thing for a challenge and it is looking like more of a challenge every day. I'm hoping to learn different skills as I go along. I just assumed they were all imported. I thought it was a D24 because I looked up the serial number (9840665) and the internet told me it was a Canadian built 1947 - D24. I've pulled the body off the frame now and I thought I could answer your questions by looking at the photos I took of it when I first got it. Just realised my backup of my old phone hasn't worked and I've lost most of the photos. ArghhHh! I've only got one of the offending area (below) and I think it was external hinges. I just went out and measured the head and it was just over 25 inches. I can't see anything about TJR or TJ Richards. Not sure how to tell the transmission?
  9. Hi All, I'm hoping to fix up an old paddock bomb of a 4 door 1947 D24 Dodge. It needs major work but most of all I am worried about the "A" pillar/posts. I could put my head through where the floor should meet the posts on both sides of the car. I've been trying to find replacement pillars but can't seem to find anything. I am in Australia but don't really expect to get anything here. Does anyone know if you can purchase reproductions or is the only way to replace this via a donor car?
