Raceandoval Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Any recommendations for the small parts? Front end parts, rebuild kits for carb, water pump, distributor, fender bolts.... Overall, the car is pretty straight and in progress now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young Ed Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 A large majority of the mechanical parts can still be bought at your everyday auto parts place. Just a matter of getting them to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garbagestate 44 Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Thats very true, when I go to my local napa dealer, I like to have a part number in my hot little hand so they don't have to look it up.

Raceandoval Posted May 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Well, I wanted to just her running and some fresh paint, but the more I researched and started putting some elbow grease in, I'm swinging for the fence! This is what it looked like when I got it home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raceandoval Posted May 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 I'm very new with this and I feel very novice by asking, but where does the 1949 Chrysler Windsor fall in the P classification? I see people refer to cars up to 1948 as P15.... A little cloudy for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlennCraven Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 I just joined because I'm looking at a '49 Windsor coupe that just became available in my community. I won't hijack your thread; I'll post one of my own with my questions for the resident flathead wizards. But I did want to say congrats on the acquisition and wish you tons of luck on the restoration! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourleaf Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 (edited) You can check www.andybernbaum.com for new old stock parts. I take pictures with my phone if i need to remember where parts need to go. But, with that many parts and as many pictures you would have to take, i would only take pics of the stuff that you know you might not remember. Not sure if thats the way you want to go, but i hope this helps! Good luck and keep us posted Edited May 2, 2013 by fourleaf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
