  1. The tail lights for my 1936 dodge D2 sedan were disassembled for a paint job.  I see that the ss bezel needs to be crimped on the housing. I am working on that.  Any ideas are appreciated.  But I do not see or understand how the retaining spring is held in place.  There does not seem to be a ridge or slot to hold it mechanically.  I am considering an industrial silicone adhesive if I can not figure it out.  Help is appreciated

  3. The stainless rings, lenses, and holding springs were removed for a paint job on my 1936 Dodge D2 sedan tail lights.  I am unsure how the ss rings should be held in place and what is the correct process to instal the red lenses.  I would think it would be simple and a necessary process in order to change the bulbs.  If the ss rings were supposed to stay in place and the red glass lenses were removed and replaced by way of the holding springs, what holds the ss ring in place?  I may need to reshape the rings?  Any suggestions, thoughts, on instruction would be appreciated. Am I missing any parts?

  4. The panels on the dash: ashtray, radio cover, gages panel, glovebox door, all had decals that mimicked wood stripes. Many moons ago I saw them at a trade fair.

     

    The trim around dash and windows had a plastic like coating painted on that was meant to look like wood. I once saw (in Hemmings) that a guy near Houston offered that service but do not find him now.

     

    Any leads are appreciated

  5. I am new to this group.  I have a '36 D2 and had all the gauges "renewed". They returned the Ammeter missing the fuse holder that was on the back. Anyone have a replacement or a remedy? The system is all original six volt positive ground.
