I believe that all of the "General Lees" were marked here and there with a "WB" for Warner Brothers Studios. Things such as the wheels and other WB modifications were aptly marked. Maybe the other movie studios did that, too. If so, documentation of the vehicles might be a little bit easier.

Any rust? Got any photos?

I was speaking from first hand experience. The car was a 1968 Dodge Dart GTS. Maybe your car/truck will react differently. Sorry for generalizing.

Saw this 1952 Studebaker yesterday and am passing along the info to you. I have no answers to any questions about it. I just thought someone here might like it. You will have to call Mike Barrus at (541)301-7924 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting**************(541)301-7924******end_of_the_skype_highlighting******end_of_the_skype_highlighting for more information. The car is in southern Oregon between Ashland and Medford off of Interstate 5. The sign says "$3,500.00 Runs Awesome". It looks good close up. It will need upholstery.

I predict that it will be around for a while, go into hiding and come out many years later as a "barn find" on this forum.

Poly makes the vehicle ride like a truck. Go rubber.

Does it have a 1/4 turn clip on the back or is it threaded?

M R Simpers' 1959 Thunderbird...

Try Apple Hydraulics for brake wheel cylinders.

Awesome technology in and on that Thunderbolt! Way ahead of it's time as were most Chrysler products.

LINC400...PM sent back to you.

Well, you were right. The armrest is shot. I got the bumper piece. It was fairly easy to take off. Neither side had the center protrusion (clip). There are four left which may be enough.

Do you have a photo of one to compare? I come across crankhole covers a lot, but sometimes cannot i.d. them.

NICE!!

I will go back tomorrow and try to remove it for you. I will check out the armrest, too. You were actually the first one I thought of when I saw this car.

Belly blister?

I saw this Lincoln languishing in a wrecking yard up the road. If anyone needs anything off of it, you might let me know before the guy crushes it. John

I was not certain whether you could reproduce the brass escutcheon or not to make it match yours.

Well, you might not have to remove the fenders, but you will at the very least have to separate them from the running boards and splash aprons.

Here's one I found underneath my grandmother's house in L.A. a long time ago. Do you need an exact copy of that one or will this one do??

I have taken the body off of 1 of my '31s about four times (I moved around a lot). Wish I was there to give you a hand. Of course, the coupe bodys are more sturdy than the sedan bodies when removing, but nearly the same process to remove.

First off...MARK EVERYTHING!! When I take something apart, I make a list of removed items in the order I removed them (I do the list AS I remove stuff so as not to forget to write it down). Take LOADS of photos. Even if you think the photo of "this" or "that" won't matter, (in this digital day and age, photos are practically free) some of those photos will. You should be able to access the rear fender nuts from inside the fenders. The seats, fenders, doors, wiring, steering column and any sidemount hardware that mounts to the body should be removed. If it is like my 1931 DH in any way, you will have to remove the front floorboards to get past the pedals.
