Title: 1939 Plymouth Roadking (P7)
Post by: SD Glenn on February 20, 2012, 10:41:26 PM
The 1939 Plymouth I was so proud of because there didn't seem to be any rust......... I found it does so have rust. lol The floor boards in the front seat area are completely done for, no repair here.lol Does anybody know of anybody that makes the floor boards? Or real good used ones? OR, do I bite the bullet (so to speak) and start building my own? I still haven't tryed to start it, I was trying to get to the Battery is how I found the floor boards in such bad shape, But, getting closer.
Thanks, SDGlenn

There are several sources for replacement panels for later series 46 through 49 and 49-52, but never seen any for pre 46.
The frames were different but that preformed sheet metal might serve as a basis for repairs for the earlier cars. R/CAR comes to mind for one.

You might want to contact Wayne Brandon who does business under the name "Plymouth Doctor". He does sheet metal for 1935-1952 Chrysler, Plymouth, Dodge and DeSoto cars and 1933-1947 Dodge and Plymouth trucks:

Thanks Tod, Wayne Brandon (from Plymouthdoctor) sends his regards too you. He is sending me a catalog so I can order what I need. Thanks again. I just now got the Plymouth running, I am pleasantly sirprised how nice it runs, right off. I am still quite a way from my first road trial thou. I had to get it running, I took out the soft plugs, the engine was so full of crap, over the soft plug holes, so I have to get it out side to washout the water jacket, then get it back into the garage. At 30 degree weather I don't want to spend to much time on the drive way. lol And I can run the engine long enough to move it that far.
