I saw that wagon. Very good condition at looks to be all there.

Ron made the upper and lower tailgates, I made the passenger rear post, Ron tied in the rear corner. He made the driver rear corner and post. Ron made everything big and I shaped it down to what you see. I built the two passenger side doors and B and C pillars. I will be building the two doors on the driver side. I have already started the driver door. I could not have done this car without Ron Heiden. Now that I have seen what he did I am glad he did it. It got me moving on this project.

Finally have one side done

I think I can do that

Absolutely amazing work. I have been struggling for 10 years building my 49 Olds

This very similar to mine and the divider is the same. Thank you for sharing the pictures. In the 49 Fisher body book it shows the bottom board but does not show the divider installed. This project is 10 years in the process and these details are really small but important to make things work the way they were designed. Thank you for the help.

I am working on the passenger door of the 49 Olds woodie project. In the Fisher body book they show the inside of the passenger door but it does not show the glass vent wing or window installed with the location of how you attach the divider at the cross piece. Anyone have a picture of the inside of the door? It is really to bad that these cars are so rare. Maybe 25 of them left. Granted these Fisher bodies are a terrible design. They cut too much wood out for all the stuff they tried to install. It is not surprising that when these cars got wet and you shut the doors a few times that it would just snap. Oh well. Any help with a picture would be great

Found both sides. I am now finishing the shape of my B pillar so they fit and line up with the doors.

Wagon only and Mercury only

I have a 1949 Mercury Station Wagon, and I am looking for the windshield divider. It is 18 7/8 long, made out of stainless on the out side and steel on the inside. 1950 is the same, 1951 is a little different but usable. I have been looking for years for this. Please let me know if you think you have it. The important part is the 18 7/8 inches Thank you for looking

I am looking for a 1949 50 Mercury wagon windshield divider. It is 18 7/8 long and are not interchangeable with other years or models. If you have one that is this long it is it. Thanks for looking

Thanks Tom for your response. Wayne Yada ended up helping with the Ford divider and glass templates for the windshield. The Mercury one is substantially harder to find as it is 18 7/8 long. 2 inches longer then Ford. I have been looking for years and never seen one for sale.

Also trying to find one for my 49 Mercury Wagon

Trying to find an exterior trim divider for my 49 Ford Wagon

you did beautiful work

I am looking for the new owner of the Battalion Chief Fire Truck that was restored by Tom Philippbar

All 49 Mercury door handles and bases are the same. The only part that is different is the pin. It is nearly an inch longer. Tom at CCRods makes the pins.

Thank you Tom, for the information. It was very detailed. I really appreciate the effort. I am still hunting for the dowel. I found a guy who has some 51 hoods with the dowels still on them. The hoods are very rusty with big holes near the dowel. I hope I get one of those.

The wagon ones are exactly the same except for the rod, as you stated. Ccrods makes the rods for the woodies. Some one tried to make aluminum ones but the cost 500 a set was expensive.

I have been looking for a few years for a hood dowel pin spring and cup for my 1949 Mercury. Does anyone know if this part is shared with other Ford or Mercury models? That would help my search. Thanks in advance for any help

I am restoring a 49 Merc Wagon, and in the gathering of parts for this build I never found a hood dowel, pin, cup and spring. I have searched for a long time, and I have tried to see if there is interchange with another Ford or Mercury model or year. Any info helps. Thank you

I am still looking for these B pillar metal pcs. I found a guy in Temecula who was going to sell me one and he bailed out at the last minute when I was at his house with money in hand. Oh well. Let me know if you have seen any. Thank you

I finally found one on ebay today. Yahoo
