Thanks Frank, I didn't realize that.
I was starting with a picture if of the 1928 Plymouth Red Roadster in the Chrysler museum as a guide, but I couldn't tell that detail - thanks!
Jeff Buton told me the strips should be about 3/32 inch wide.
I have looked at lots of pictures of guys 28-29s with pinstripes, but I did not have a picture of the rear of the sedan with pinstripes.
I have one picture of the to of the hood, that's another picture of the red roadster in the museum.

One other question - the judging guide states that the dash should be pinstriped too.  I have only seem one picture of that and so I am not planning on having the dash pinstriped.

Dave,
Thanks for the handle pics!

Frank - Great car and thanks for the pinstripe explanation and picture!

Ted,
That's great!  I was wondering if they could be powder coated.

Dave,
Your picture of the original handles appear to be linked to a web based album and I cannot copy them. 

Frank,
The pinstripes will be Dupont "Harvest Gold".  It is the closest I can find to the original "Deep Gold Bronze" listed for a 1929 Sedan with Blue body.

Your cars black rims look great too!

Dave,
The pinstripes on your car - do they join into one stripe along the back, or continue as two stripes close together across the back of the car?

Dave,
Can you post the actual picture of the inside door handle, so I can send it to Neil Butters?  Or email it to me?

Not yet.  I will check with Don Sommer, Neil Butters and Vintage Reproductions.  Do you know anyone else?   Right now I am waiting to see if the door handles I have ordered are truly correct.  I expect to receive them in about 6 weeks.

I ordered a non- locking outside door handle from vintage reproductions.  When it comes in I will let you know how well it fits and post a picture. The price is in Australian dollars, so cost will vary with the exchange rates.  As for the other handles, since at least three of us are interested, we should be able to get them reproduced.  There are three re producers that I am aware of still in the business, prices vary.

That T-handle is the nicest one I have seen, it would be good to get it reproduced too.

As for the handles, they very well might have varied somewhat.  Did a DeLux version have different handles?

The T handle I have for my 29 is just like the one on the right.
If I cannot find any interior window handles, perhaps you would consider letting a reproducer borrow one from you to make a mold?

Has anyone tried using wheel balancing beads?  I see them advertised in Model A parts supplier catalogs.  Snyders offers a kit for four tires.

     The Plymouth Master Parts List book often lists body parts as"Q, U" and below that will list a different part number for "U Hayes". Sometimes there will be a separate entry for "30-U ... Canadian built".

      I only have a few interior handles, none are in good shape, only two are functional. I have an original T-handle for a rear window of the 4 door, and I have a windshield crank.  If anyone has any good interior handles we could possibly get someone to remake them.  I am having some non- locking outside door handles made.  If they come out well I will let you know.  One thing that concerned me is I obtained an old outside door handle that was supposeably for a 29 Plymouth, but the escutcheon was curved too much and the shaft was a little short.  In short, it did not fit. That's when I checked the parts manual and discovered different part numbers for Outside door handles for 29 Plymouth 4 door sedan "Q, U" and "U Hayes".

    Does anyone have any information on how many 29U 4 door sedans were built using body's by the Hayes Body Corp, or any information regarding these vehicle bodies?
    After 43 years I am re-restoring my 1929U 4 door sedan and have run into a few minor issues with parts. According to the Body number plate, my 29U 4 door was built by the Hayes Body Corp.  Searching thru the Master parts book I noticed different part numbers for the doors and outside door handles.
     Does anyone else in the forum have a Hayes Body 29 Plymouth?

I wasn't aware that L&L was no longer in business.  I purchased a set form Brad Londoll last year.  If he is no longer in business, try Martin Lum.

Looking for some reccommendations for chrome plating shops that specialize in antique autos.  I want to have my headlights rechromed.  The bezels have a couple of small dents.  Need a shop that will make the repairs as well as chrome plating.

Has anyone used Paul's?
