    My suggestion wasn't valid so I deleted it.

    I'm a UB graduate and remember the huge mountain of snow dumped by the City on the Grover Cleveland golf course at Main & Bailey. It would linger until May most years.

    My late father-in-law was a master carpenter and he and I were making a trailer hitch for one of my cars. We used fairly thick angle iron for the main bracket. He started using a saw, then said he had a better idea. He cut the notches we needed with a cold chisel and big hammer. Impressive!

    I have a Chrysler Industrial Engine service manual from the late 1970's, so I imagine the flathead sixes were still being built at the time.

    Swapping dashes has been done, but I believe the '50 dashboard is a few inches narrower than the '51, so you'd need some creative fabrication to pull it off.

    Maybe it's a Canadian car. Chrysler would put a Dodge nose on a Plymouth body and call it a Dodge. People refer to them as a 'Plodge'. The Vehicle Number can pin this down.

    He was probably in his fifties when we met. He didn't have any parts I needed for my car, but it was good to speak Mopar anyway. I'd think his parts have all been dispersed by now, one way or another.

    I visited John's home when I vacationed in California in the late 1980's. He was very nice and had an impressive collection of NOS Mopar parts. He also had a house cat that was 22 years old at the time!

    Be careful if you cut open the muffler. Some old ones were lined with asbestos as an insulator.

    One of the few mechanical changes to the '52 Plymouth as compared to the '51's is the clutch. '52 used Auburn and '51 used Borg and Beck. Could you have gotten mismatched components?

    I've seen the term 'buffer guard' used for this type of accessory. Try this eBay item: NOS MOPAR 1314082 49 Chry Brkt Frt Bumper Buffer Guard Chrome NOS | eBay No photo shown but maybe you can write the seller and ask for one

    Apple Hydraulics has been around a long time. I had my Cambridge MC sleeved there in the 1990's. They were located a few miles from my in-laws on Long Island, so it was a drop-off then pick-up situation.

    Just saw this. Paul, best wishes for a full and speedy recovery. Follow your doctor's instructions and you'll be back in the saddle before you know it.

    Starter relay?

    New Jersey still has drive-thru inspection stations, that are operated by a contractor hired by the state. The state inspection for cars consists of an emission test ONLY. You can have bald tires, no brakes, and non-functioning lights, but if the check-engine light is off, YOU PASS!

    Great looking car! Glad to see you're enjoying it.

    Do the handles and deflectors need additional inside bracing to be installed?
  18. JerseyHarold
    Glad it worked out!

    Vintage Power Wagons (www.vintagepowerwagons.com) might be another place to check. They've been around a long time and may have better inventory than others.

    Welcome to the forum. There is a ton of knowledge here and it's all shared freely among the members. Your '50 Plymouth came with lock cylinders on both doors. Someone may have replaced the original lock cylinder due to wear or collision which explains why none of your keys work for it. A local locksmith can re-key the driver's door cylinder to match the one that works for the other side. It's not a big job once you remove the cylinder from the door.

    Where are you? Canadian cars had different color choices than US cars. They also had a trim plate on the firewall with the color codes. US cars did not have them.

    We've had an air frier for a couple of years and the food comes out tasty and not greasy. It's definitely a good utensil to have.

    I recall reading that floor braces for certain Jeeps can be used. I don't know an exact model application. You might want to check a Jeep supply catalog to see if any look like they'll work.

    The chassis numbers were probably located in out-of-the-way places so law enforcement could identify stolen vehicles if the need arose. The chassis number was also the only place on the car that tied the engine number to the rest of the vehicle.

    No offense, but I'd consider preliminary-prepping the body and then shipping it out to Maaco (or similar production paint service) for final prep and actual spraying. They paint cars all the time and would likely do a better job and be much quicker than a novice.
