Don J here from the High Desert of So Cal, and I've just landed my new project- a 48 Plymouth 2 door Deluxe
Not quite a barn find, more like a back yard find. This car ran when the owners parked it, drove it in the back and shut it off, and there it sat for a lot of years. I was asked to "just come get this thing outta my yard, and you can have it!" Yep, a freebie car!
The body is in great shape, and I plan on leaving that un-molested for now, but the interior has that old car funk smell bad, and all the rubber seals have dried out and crumble to the touch.
I got the ignition switch out yesterday and had a key made-originals long lost-but I need to take the door panel off to get the door lock out and a key made. So how does one get the door and window handle off?
I've been lurking and reading some of the wisdom here,hope to learn more, like where do you get the rubber pieces like door and window seals?
