  2. The front sills on my '48 were completely shot, coming all to pieces. The rear sills which are either original or repops are still in good condition. The price of new sills was cause for hesitation so I decided to try to come up with alternatives for the front sills. Here is the material I ended up using: The vendor markets this rubber mat as running board material, I never could find it as a generic product. A 3' length of the 18" width is just right for splitting to make two sills. I used a pry bar to pop the old sills loose, the rubber is vulcanized to a metal base. Barbed pins on the bottom of the base snap into rubber grommets in the body sill. The old base could be used as a pattern for the new sills but I used poster board to customize the pattern. After the pattern was fabricated it was used to cut galvanized metal sheet to use as a new base and this was riveted to the body. Double sided flooring adhesive tape secured the new rubber sills to the galvanized sheet. The pattern of the new sills is similar enough to the old sills to be more or less compatible for my driver car. The adhesive tape is really aggressive and I don't anticipate it coming loose, but if it does contact cement can be used.

  3. Just wanted to tell you all hello. I have a 1952 Plymouth Cambridge 4 door that is in pretty good shape, I do not know a lot about the history of this car but I have had it going on two years now. I found this site looking for information on the cowl vent removal and joined after finding a wealth of information on it, well enough for me to get the job done. I am in New Hampshire so only get to drive the care from mid May though early November. I am not a purest, It is a pretty much stock car that has not been restored but runs, drives and stops well. My next step will be to try to take up some steering wheel play. I'll post a picture or two. I have a question as to what are all the P numbers refered to in some of the posts? what would be the P number for this car? Thanks for having this forum. James

  5. Had the same issue with my 52 B3B 3 speed transmission, shafts were leaking/weeping at both ends(front and back). For the back I made a cover(brass "box" soldered together) and rubber gasket. For the front I made a shim/gasket that covered the entire mating surface of the trans to flywheel housing from 5 mil brass shim stock, the brass extends below the mating surface to cover the area where the shaft is uncovered, during assembly a used some RTV in the area of the shaft. No leaks, yet...

  6. Partially installed the dash tonight after dinner. Light reflection changes the colors. Will look better in daylight.
