DodgeKCL Thanks for answering me and being honest about my car! I know that its missing a lot of parts and that it would cost a lot to restore. But I would still like to know about the construction of these cars. If you don't want to take the time to answer all my questions I understand. I have learned so many things from the internet about cars that were built in Canada and Australia that my Chrysler and Plymouth history books do not talk about. I always liked the Utes and only saw very few photos of them. But now I know a lot more about them. Over the years I have had the opportunity to work with guys that had a lot of knowledge about how things were done "back than". Now at my age I wished that I had talked with these guys about those things more so that I could remember it all. Because they have long since passed from this life, and I can no longer ask them about it. I feel that a wealth of knowledge dies when men do not pass their knowledge on. I remember very fondly my granddad telling me how he used his model T as a power plant to do all kinds of things on the farm. I wish I had been more intent on the details of what he was saying. He invented a lot of things just to get a job done. I've been a Mopar nut since I started driving and I have always liked to learn about these cars. I have found the answers to some of my questions, like the thickness of the top wood. I think that I need to know how some of these things were built so if I do sell this car or build it another way, its done right. To mount the body back on the frame correctly I still need to know the thickness of the wood which was between the body floor and frame. Otherwise the hood, doors and cowl will not line up. I only have pieces of this wood most of it is gone. I know I was asking a lot of things and it might seem foolish to want to build a car with so much gone. The Chrysler product cars seem to fall short when it comes to their resale value when they are compared to the Model A and some others but these old Chrysler products have always been some of the best built cars in my eyes. I will continue searching for all I can learn about them no matter what I end up doing with this Plymouth. Thanks Jonathan
