Hello everyone. New here. Name's Jason. Looking for some info on swapping out the vents on my 53 b4b for some one piece glass windows. I haven't ever tried doing something like this, but I like the look of the single glass and my vents are broken and the rubbers are not really there anymore. I figure it would be easier to just put one piece of glass in there. My concern was finding the parts to do this. I didn't know what I would need outside of the regulator for the one piece glass options. Im assuming I would have to change those out of course. Any and all information on how to do this and where to find some parts is helpful. I do appreciate it. Im looking to get back to work on this here soon and need to get all the parts together to get started. I have seen some places through searching the web to buy parts from, but Im sure i haven't found them all. Thanks in advance for any and all help.

Hello everyone, I discovered this board when I started doing research on the '49 Dodge Coronet that I ended up purchasing. I am new to things pre 1960s-1970s and would sure appreciate any help I can gather. First I'll go over the car 1949 Dodge Coronet Club Coupe. 230 flathead with fluid drive three speed manual. Last registered in 1976 and appears it was used as someone's college transportation. Lots of Mississippi university stickers and a fraternity front plate haha. Car is complete and, to my surprise, we drove it onto the trailer with a coffee can "gas tank" hanging from the hood. Has some rust. Holes in front floor boards etc. but right now I'll just be fixing things to get it running, driving, stopping, etc. Now some stuff about me. I live in the Detroit Metro area and work as an engineer. I grew up with 1960s muscle cars but have grown a little "bored". Fear not, I have no dreams of hemi swaps or front clip conversions etc for this car. It will stay as original as possible. I'll probably even go with some new bias plys. I want to get an experience of how these cars drive. Not how the latest hot rod show thinks it should drive. Now that that's out of the way I have my first question and it's related to doors. I ordered a shop manual from faxon but it hasn't arrived yet. Has anyone experienced sagging doors and what is a good fix? I have to lift the door to shut. Do these have conventional hinge pins? Can't seem to find them online. Also the drivers door does not open from the outside. I suspect a linkage issue. Thanks for any help and I look forward to asking many more questions haha!
