Chet disregard previous post - that is rear window!

Side window, I have 3".   I'd still poll John, Dave

Frank, The rear side window is what I was asking about.  In that picture is the dimension 2.5" or 3" ?

I'll wait for additional responses.  Your interior looks pretty original to me.  Very much the same as mine.

Does anyone have pictures of the rear and front sections of the 29Plymouth roof looking from inside the car with or without the headliner.  I have some but nothing that shows the area over the rear window or front windshield in any kind of detail.

I am trying to make a few decisions on the reconstruction of the 29 4-door sedan roof.  From the rear section's metal skin there is a definite left to right curvature to the roof.   In most pictures the roof looks pretty flat but looking at the front metal form of the cowl, it does have a slight arc to it.  Can anyone confirm whether the front section of the roof is at a slight arc or does it lay completely flat in reference to the windshield sun visor. 

As you probably know already there was no original roof wood left on my car.  I have plenty of pictures of original roof construction but I am still flying blind.  Any help would be appreciated.

It seems that my work is paying off.  Fingers crossed on the other 3 doors.

Please keep us informed on what you find, it may help the next guy down the road.  If you are a POC forum member you might want to contact Tod Fitch on the POC web Forum or if you are a POC member contact the Tech Adviser concerning your modal year.
 
Good luck, Chet...

Hi Chris,

I looked at your picture from my laptop and it appears that your hinges are badly worm.  Have you found any replacements or are you planning to have something fabricated ?

Chris,

I am not familiar with your body style and I believe it is an all steel body.  Much different than the car I am working on.  Sorry maybe someone else can help with your problem.  As a suggestion you might want to remove the panel under the dash to see what may be happening with your spinning bolts.

Sorry Chet...

Chris,

I am currently working in this area. I have a 29 Plymouth but if you have the older style 30U I can probably help you. Please post a picture of your hinge pillar. The screws you are talking about are probably machine screws with nuts behind the wood pillar.

General Discussion / Dashboard FYI
July 17, 2017, 04:21:02 PM
Dashboard Warning for 28-30 Plymouths.

On my 29 the 6 Dashboard slotted screws that hold the dash in place are an obsolete screw size.  They are round head screws with a thread size of 1/4-24TPI.  Modern machine screw sizes are 1/4-20 and 1/4-28.  The 1/4-24 isn't used anymore especially in a round head with a diameter of 0.567 (approx. 9/16)  and a head height of 0.150 (approx. 5/32)  If you work in this area try not to damage these screws because they are not readily available.  I believe the tap and die may still be available if you have your own metal lathe.

Classic Exotic has 1/4 24 screws but not the correct head size:

Thanks Frank & Ted,

but I think you should hold back any praise until I hang the doors.  That will be the proof  in the pudding.  I've got my fingers crossed.
