More like impossible to find. (in a usable condition)

There is a guy that used my good handles to recast and make new ones for members here. If you search it, you can find the thread. Or if you want contact info we can provide it. Think you are a ways away from those finishing touches. But if you decide to keep and it redo the car, order them up!

Key lock handle is on the passenger side. (mine was and I believe it is correct based on past discussions)

It is funny the different feedback you get from people. Some enjoy the story, some want to tell you a story. At one point I think Frank and I at the same time had 2 different people telling us individually how they like our car for how he finished it, or how cool mine was raw.  ;D

Didn't spend a ton of time sitting by mine, (was out both Friday and Saturday) but managed to hear about a half dozen "Don't ever paint that car!"

Met Frank for breakfast Saturday morning, we were doing our part to represent early Plymouth's in the car show portion of the Nowthen Threshing Show. Few laughs, few beers, some smart talk, fun day over all.

(I know someone will ask, the blue car in the far left of one of the pictures is a 28 Pontiac)

I never did price it. I forgot all about at the time, my focus was getting the axle bearings replaced and dealing with the busted pinion gear retainer.

Whats pricey? I guess I have no idea how to assign a cost to an odd ball bearing. I don't remember what the axle bearing setups cost.

If you have the serial number handy call cuttersales and see what they say.

I had every intention to replace the bearing at the time, but spaced it. It has been back in service with no issues. I think I pulled mine a part with simple hand tools, so I wouldn't say it was pressed on, bit of a friction fit. If you look at the pictures below, I actually reassembled it with the bearing zerk clocked in correctly. (7 O'clock instead of 1 O'clock) But find it easier to grease from below, then taking everything apart from above. See pictures, let me know if that answers questions. I will actually be doing a little work on mine the next couple days. She has a show and a short trip coming up next week.

Could also try these guys. If it exists they can find it. I used them to get replacement axle bearings and a replacement for the front hub. they also have replacement seals of all kinds.

Frank,

How is the show? Are you thumbing your way back home?
#101
Have a good trip, give us a few updates.

Should be an adventure (hopefully in a good way) driving an 89 year old car 3 states to the east.....

Hay Dave, 

I found a local welder/machine shop who was recommended by the Napa shop.
He didn't think brazing was the way to go he is going to silver solder it from the inside. Anyway he understands the need to "do no harm". He has antique tractors and one with a thermal syphon flat head.

Fingers crossed.

Sorry I messed up your post. I thought I was quoting it but things are much to small on a cellphone

Fat fingered it '. Chet

For reference mine was in similar shape, original everything. I paid around 3,000.00 US, In MN. ( I had rims)

What do you have into it? If I may ask?

It took me several attempts to find a guy who would even look at my old original radiator. But they all said the same thing about tanking, (an old original anyway) if you do that its destroyed. The old solder will dissolve/let go.

I did find an old school radiator guy and mine has been holding water since the repair. Mine has only had water in it since I have had it, but I bought and plan on just putting in plain old cheap green. No conditioners. But I don't have anything fancy  :) or do long road trips.
