Send me a PM, or E-Mail, on what 1930 Chrysler material you have.
I have a 1930 Chrysler CJ-6.
Thanks

When I pulled the completely blown 6 cylinder out of my 59 Biscayne I dropped in a 68, 327. Factory 4 barrel, duel exhaust with single hump heads. Nice. Still have the motor. All original.
Had to have headers. Had a duplicate of original, dual exhaust system fabricated with the stock, (flat), mufflers.
To make a long story short....I hated the headers. Loved the sound. Hated the burns on me and the spark plug wires.
Anything you do to the car... they are in the way. Just a pain. They get ugly after a while.
I went back and forth with headers to stock manifolds several times when I owned the car and when I sold the car, the headers were in the trunk.
Do what you want but a duel exhaust system with cast iron is maintenance free and sounds good. And no leaks.
My 2 Cents. Been there done that.

Great stuff.
I'm learning as I go, Keiser31.
You and the other guys on this thread are the experts.
Love your thread on your transmission.
I've decided to just "dig in" to mine".
Why not... I've been a mechanic since I was 12 years old and I have the tools.

What??
How was I supposed to know that??

I have a 30 Chrysler CJ-6, 4 dr sedan. About half way finished.
Almost the same as your Plymouth. They share most of the mechanical parts with Dodge and Desoto. Same body except for minor details.
There is a ton of information to be had on this Forum as long as your going to restore the car. If your not going to keep it some were close to original mechanically then thats your choice.
Then people like me will try to buy your parts such as running gear and wheels etc. (I need your transmission)
I really hope your going to keep the Plymouth original. They are grand old cars and very road worthy with the hydraulic brakes and the smooth and capable 6 cylinder engine. Very comfortable to drive also.
Some pictures of your car are a must, for us to see, and then a list of your wants and needs. Post on the Plymouth section of this forum and Google everything.
E Bay has stuff all the time, depending on what you need.
Good luck.

Anybody making wagers / bets on were the price will go??
I say slightly over 100.00.
If I absolutely needed it, I'd go 175.00.

For those who asked for pictures.

I guess my picture size is too big. I keep getting errors with more than one picture.

We invited my daughters violin teacher over to the house for dinner one night.
She is a collector of everything. She loves old and unique stuff, no matter what. She is in her early 70's.
I walked her out to my garage and after stepping inside the garage and seeing the Chrysler and the Model A she started sobbing a little bit.
I asked what was wrong and she said. "The smell of the cars and garage reminds he of her father's and grandfather's garage when she was little.
Very touching at the time.

What make year and model automobile was this used on??
I'm liquidating my valuable junk collection to partially finance a re-chrome job on my radiator shell.
Its going on E Bay so make me an offer.
For parts only. It was a wall hanger.

I need one of those for my 30 Chrysler.
My gears are pot metal and the larger gear is in about eight pieces.
I have the whole assembly but it is in bad shape mechanicly, as far as gears go. Trashed.
I was going to just have a non operable windshield.
If anybody has an extra laying around that could be serviceable, and made to work ...... let me know.

Lincoln Zephyr.
Probably worth saving for fenders, doors, etc. If you could get a trailer under her and put it some were.
One of my favorite cars. Love them.

Looks great, black.
The sedans look rich and majestic painted black.
Lots of times.... less is more.
I've been looking at different color combinations for 30 Chryslers but I keep going back to black.
With the black, I might even consider, (try),..... White walls..... Per the discussion, on the forum.
Thanks for the reply.

Is your car blue or black.??
Great looking car with the wood spokes contrasting the solid color.
I have a 30 Chrysler with wood spokes and I'm thinking about a solid black.
Nice Car

I have, thanks to E Bay etc, 5 outside door handles for my 30 Chrysler CJ-6.
I have the original, outside locking door handle, that came with the car, with keys, but the pot metal escutcheon is broken in half. The escutcheon for the locking handle is totally different from the non-locking handles. The locking handle escutcheon has shoulders that extend into the door, sheet metal, at/around, the mounting screws. (passenger side only).
Don't want to pay an arm and a leg but some of you guys seem to have a lot of stuff laying around.
I could probably make a non locking handle work but thought I would put this out there just to see what happens.
Non locking handles that need chrome, go for around 20 to 40 dollars.
I have the lock and the handle .... I need that funky escutcheon or complete handle with no lock, to repair the one I have.
Thanks and I'll add pictures later.

Thats incredible!!

What a gorgeous automobile!!
If I could find something like that I would sell the farm.
Good luck on the rehab.
There is a special place in my heart for Packards. You hit the jackpot finding this car, and a convertible at that.
Good luck. Keep the pictures coming.

Checked for the "fit", of my compete, NEW, duplicate of original and beautiful running boards that I just received in the mail. Perfect!
Bought an outside, non locking door handle off of E Bay for my 1930 Chrysler CJ for 39.00.

Contact Verdone Castings.
Marty Lum said they made a set of steering wheel levers for his 30 Desoto.
I haven't contacted Verdone, yet, but I'm going to need a set myself for my CJ. Would love to know what they cost.
They make reproductions of outside non locking door handles also.

Back in the early 70's, when long hair was in style, my Dad would make us get a real hair cut.
We, my brother and I, would have "white walls" around our hairline.

If I'm not badly mistaken ... there were some 30 Chryslers that had a greenish engine block.
For some reason I painted mine a silver green back in 1977. I wouldn't have painted it that color if it was black from the factory.
Seems like it was a Pontiac engine paint that matched pretty close. Kind of a silver green.

Denatured alcohol.
A little bit on a paper towel or rag.
Just rub.
Works great.
I keep some handy all the time.
Never had a problem with denatured alcohol on clear coat, paint or fiber glass.
