Hello Sarah, welcome to the forum. I assume the car you bought is the sedan with Maroon body and black fenders, that was on ebay . The car has had a lot done to it and deserves to be finished off and enjoyed. The sad part about it, is the motor has to be removed and the crank shaft taken out , in order to remove the flywheel. The car was discussed on this forum in January, look up this previous discussion, 26 S70flywheel removal impacsys replied to impacsys's topic in Chrysler Products - General did you have to remove crank to removeflywheel?

Wow, looking good. So glad you have persevered with restoring the car, it is going to be a beauty.

Leo, These pictures (courtesy of the internet) are of 2 different 1927 Chrysler finer 70's, I would think your model 72 would be very similar. The 2 pictures below also from the nett are supposed to be a series 72 roadster. Hope these may help

Morning, Found these pictures courtesy of https://www.leftcoastclassics.com/1928-nash-328-landau/ lots more useful pictures if you look up this site. . Suggest also to ask on the general section of AACA or join the Nash car club of America. Nice car. Viv.

I have had good results softening aluminum with a hot air paint stripping gun. Also works a treat, if used carefully, to heat up die cast pot metal if it is bent and needs straightening. An oldtimer friend of mine ,who was a sressed skin worker in aviation industry, also told me , use an oxy torch, first blacken the aluminum using just the acetylene, then heat it up with an oxy /acetylene flame until the black just starts to dissappear. at this point stop heating and it should be soft enough to bend.

Not familiar with Reo, but some manufacturers had a pin or hole on the hub/brake drum to help align the wheel, when bolting it on.

Sure looks like ford. Male thread should be about 3/4in and female end about 7/8in

1929 Chevrolet

The top right one looks to be 4 Cyl Chrysler or Plymouth from about 1926 to 1930

Dodge had a Ram mascot, think this is a Plymouth
