  1. Here are a couple of pictures. Some will think think this is primer on the car, but is actually the second paint job (it was a bad paint job done by a friend of the family). Overall, it is in fairly good shape. The interior is all original, but basically rotted away.
  2. I just picked up my fathers 1936 Dodge this weekend (he bought in 1960 for $78 from the original owner) and am starting the process of restoring the interior and exterior. My brother has had it for 13 years and mechanically it is in good shape. I have a general question and a few specific questions. 1) My father in law and I are going to do most of the work ourselves (him mostly) and our main concern before we get started is will we be able to find most everything we need to put it back together. Primarily concerned about all of the gaskets, window rubber/tracks, window frames (for the rear vent window), window frame for the bottom of the door windows. My thought is these cars are restored every day, so I'm thinking we will be able to find most everything we need. We are not completing a frame off restoration, but a very nice paint job (my father in law was in the body business his whole life) and redo the interior (headliner, carpet, seats, trim pannels) and make this a car we can drive and enjoy. 2) Any sources for door stops and other interior/exterior door hardware. The front passenger door spring is broken and I'm missing two door handles and the lock for the passenger door. 3) Any sources for the window frames for the rear vent windows and for the frames for the bottom of the door windows. I'll post a picture tomorrow. I look forward to learning from everyone.
