Subject: Upper Control Arm

I am planning to pull the upper control arms out of our '62.  I'll be
replacing the bushings and the ball joints.  Does anyone have suggestions
on
how to set the alignment once reassembled?  I'll take to have
professionally
aligned after.

The time has come for me and my beloved 62 to part ways.  Its been a great
trip, but I haven't been able to give it the love it deserves.  For those
who have met me and my 62 at Carlisle or the Chrysler shows know how fond
I
am of the car. Just ask John Hertog, ive bugged him enough times with
Q&A's.
If anyone is interested, its a very clean, very original, rust free 62 300
4dr. White on RoseBeige (?) 383 pushbutton automatic.  Some like it just
for
its original trunk mat. I have all the paperwork down to the original
windowsticker.

I have it on Ebay right now, but would consider selling it to someone on
the
list outside of the auction. Just let me know.

Subject: 300F/G Door Step/Scuff Plates

I believe I've seen '57-'59 reproduction door step plates for 300's.
What about 300F or G's  -  anyone have an idea if they are available?   
Other options: 
1) Restore deteriorated originals  - appear to be aluminum, can they be
patched, I have two that aren't a total loss (inside edges are partially
flaked off -- how many screw holes are there in the inside edge by the
way?); 
2) New Yorker sills work?;
3) Parts - anyone have a pair?

Thanks  -- Myles

Hi Myles,

At this time, there are no reproduction sill plates available for 300F or
300G.  This project has been suggested to our Reproduction Parts committee
.
Therefore, the best current source for decent sill plates is salvage yards
.
The good news is that ANY 2 door, hardtop or convertible,  Chrysler 1960
through 1964, all models,  uses the same sill plates ! If yours are rotted
out, then the easiest / cheapest/ best way out is to locate a good set of
used ones, probably from a dry area such as Arizona, etc...

Yes, 1960 thru 1964 NewYorker, Windsor, Newport, and 300 models will all
interchange and are exactly the same.

As far as restoring a good set of used sill plates to their original
finish,
they must be stripped of their anodizing, buffed out, and then
re-anodized.

Sincerely

John
