DodgeSavesUMoney Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Sorry, can't help on the headlight, as a matter of fact, I need a new beam adjustment screw and the bottom bucket parts, for bottom of one of mine.I have two places you may want to contact for instrument related items. The first is Bob's Speedometer in Howell, Michigan. http://www.bobsspeedometer.com I purchased a new speedometer for my 36 Dodge because the previous owner replaced the original with a 38. Bob's wasn't cheap, but the speedometer was restored and looks fantastic. They do the gauge restoration work for The Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan. The other company I spoke with when hunting down the speedometer was D & M Restoration in Greenville, South Carolina. http://dandmrestoration.home.mindspring.com/ They were not able to help me, but were very responsive to my inquires and even gave me suggestions as to other people to contact. I believe I found both of them in Hemmings.As for the temp gauge, I'm not thinking that $169 is too bad of a price. I purchased one last year from Valley Vintage Auto Parts on the store on ebay and paid $110 for a NOS. Even at that price, I had to swap out my original faceplate with the one that came on it because it was stained. At that time, $110 was the best price I could find. I hope this helps a bit.

ex98thdrill Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 I don't have his information handy, but there is an older gentleman who sets up in the Red Field at Hershey every year who is known as "The Captain." He has a lot of old Mopar stuff, he is very reasonable and if he has it, you'll find that he is a nice person to do business with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
37DodgeSedan Posted April 16, 2006 Author Share Posted April 16, 2006 Thanks for all your help.People instructed my wife on how to repaint the etched glass and it turned out very nice. A fellow Dodge enthusiast sent me the headlight part I needed. The temperature gauge I will do when time/money permits. For now I will stay with the after market temperature gauge that came with the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can't find this on Ebay let me know and I will send you the link.I have a number of other sources for parts for a 37/38 Dodge. I am close to finishing a total restoration and have learned a lot along the way. If I can help, let me know. Thom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
