  1. Yes sir, I haven’t come to that part of the puzzle yet...

    this is my first Mopar product..

    chevrolet has been my back ground... 39s sedans and coupes, a couple of 38 chevys.

    did a lot of 47-53 Chevy pickups and panel’s as well.

    im enjoying this project a lot.

    ive read that people are very found of the 37 Plymouth.. I prefer the 38.

    I think the 38 grille makes a world of difference.

    mine does have the offset headlight  stanchions making the headlights lower..I take no credit for that, they came with the car?? enjoy your project. Al

  2. Greg this probably won’t help you but it kind of opened my eyes.

    This car came with the headliner covering any internal wiper stuff that’s suppose to be there.

    I can feel it and see that there is something under the material but no clue as to what.

    if you have photos of yours I’d like to take a look.

  3. Most DMV’s are aware of this, just put it in your name and move forward.

    you can have it inspected and pay the inspection fee if it makes you feel more secure, perhaps that’s the best way.

    the DMV won’t be happy about the missing VIN plate.

    also you can use a 3rd party DMV, that’s the best place to start asking questions.

    good luck?

  4. Lol yes I sent it Tuesday....

    I must have misunderstood you, I thought you said you were going to take it to the post office that same day....

    theirs no rush, but with the USPS being what it is today, you have to wonder.

    you should see it no later than Monday.

    if you want to wait until you get the money order that’s fine.

    Thanks. Al

  5. Thank you Greg. I was kind of surprised to see the D shaped pin.

    i can see how you could destroy a emblem by over tightening a nut plus you’d have to be careful not to get the self threading started crooked.

    on the other hand if you use the spring clips I could see where you could destroy the pins trying to remove the clips.

    Its good to have options.

    I’m thinking once you put it on you should leave it on?

    Thanks for the info on the crank hole cover area. Al

  6. I believe this emblem may be NOS as it doesn’t appear to be threaded nor does the pin look like it’s had a clip on it.

    also, it doesn’t appear to have ever been in the weather.

    the Text says they were installed with a spring clip or the stud was threaded with a nut during installation.

    Any body out there ever see I brand new one, if so please share your knowledge.

    Thank you. Al
