I don't know if Restoration Specialties has any of these or I could even make you a set if I can find some steel stock. I better check to see where mine are. I might even have a couple.

Dodge number is 657449 and they interchange left to right. Hope this helps.

If you can come up with a parts interchange, I may have one for a '36 Dodge. I'm not sure they are the same.

The Pulfer and Williams company, who used to make specialty tags, was bought out by LaVine Restorations and they still reproduce body and serial number tags. Also, some of the tags are available on Ebay and other websites. I was told once by a PA state trooper that changing tags is only illegal if you misrepresent the vehicle ID numbers. Simply replacing repro tags using original and documented numbers did not constitute fraud. All numbers must match the original registration and title forms for that vehicle. It would be best to check with your state office just to make sure as laws do change.

I've made "glass" from clear plastic containers and those windows from clothing boxes. You really have to search for a piece clear enough to look good. More to scale tool!

A great loss to the hobby!

I'd get in touch with Jay leno!

I have seen many old panels covered with a thin leatherette type material too. At least it's a start!

There is a painted "cowlboard available in several different colors. It's About 1/8 in. thick and has an embossed grain pattern on the colored side. It can be repainted in any color. It's 39" x 65" and can be bought through Restoration Specialties in PA. They will send samples if asked. Their no. is 814-467-9842. They also have a black door panel material in 39"x65" and 32"x 48" but it's smooth on both sides. Hope this helps.

Looks like you have your work cutout for you. If you need, I have 2 front fenders that are in better shape and I think 2 rear ones too, plus some oddball parts.

Skirts have been sold

Skirts have been sold.

I would suggest getting in touch with D&D Automobilia who does this work. they are in Lincolnton, NC. Phone is 704-650-4632

See main ad under Chrysler parts for sale.

I have a set of Mid '30's Mopar fender skirts for sale. They were purchased for and fit a 1936 Dodge, but may also fit similar year Plymouth and Desoto cars. Skirts have been sandblasted, and any defects were repaired and are currently in lacquer primer. All hardware has been cadmium plated except the outer trim spears and locking bolts have been chrome plated. Skirts are disassembled with one of the clamp rods temporarily assembled and in place to guide proper reinstallation. They can be easily removed for painting. All other hardware, along with a new set of Steele Rubber rim gaskets are included. Asking $1000.00 for the pair plus shipping. These really look good on the car. Any questions, please feel free to PM me.

I've started using some of the acrylic paints with my airbrush with good results. The finish resembles a faded or unbuffed appearance which works well on some commercial vehicles. Works well for interiors too, so you don't have that real glossy appearance to the fabric. I've just started to complete or restore several old models that I've had lying around for at least 30-50 years. Odd how those old "rubber" or vinyl tires shrink down and get really hard over the years and the "chrome" disappears from the plastic over time! I've also noticed how many of the AMT kits were basically broken down promotional models in their construction with little fine detail and not perfectly scaled, but they did build into a pretty nice model. Todays offerings are better detailed and more intricate in their assembly but cost about 15 times more than in the '60's.

I needed a replacement for my Model A meter and had a local glass guy cut one out. Fit perfectly!

Looks good!

I would suggest, if you can find one, is to get a Motor's Master Maintenance book that covers your car year. These books cover virtually every mechanical and electrical item on the car. Also, if anybody publishes one, try to find a Plymouth Master Maintenance book for your car. I'd be lost without these books! You can usually find them on the internet, or I found some in antique shops.

I got mine from Don, very nice parts.

I would imagine that it uses a similar hinge system as the '36 Dodge but I could be wrong. Looks like the hinge supports are missing from your photos. If you have a parts book, the part numbers should be listed and there may be a rudimentary picture. I'm surprised no one has an answer.

I have Testor's bottles with 10 cents and 19 cents on the lids. I bought some of the new paints and they dried up within a year. I have some that are almost 50 years old that I'm still using!

Here's the pics of the template for the starburst pattern on '36 Dodge wheels. The face plate is angled to match the hub. This centers each star point the same on each spoke. Might give you an idea of how to make something for your wheels.

I do, but I don't think that it will fit your wheels. The Plymouth wheels are shaped differently as the holes are smaller and more oval shaped than the Dodge. I'll post a pic later to show you what my template looks like, I'm sure you could make something easily.

I painted the wheels myself. When I was laying out the sunburst pattern I made a template out of plastic that fit into the opening between the spokes and traced around it. This centered the points on each spoke. I carefully taped off the pattern with thin pinstripe masking tape because it's easiest to form and gives a crisp edge. I did have a professional do the pinstriping, all done freehand. I don't think that the Plymouth wheels had the sunburst pattern done, but I could be wrong.
