Re: [Chrysler300] idea re major rust repair in early 300s?

[c300c@xxxxxxx]

Chris,
 
Try to find and buy a 32nd Edition of Hollander's Automotive Interchange  
Manual. This will tell you what parts interchange between cars in the early  
1950's to mid 1960's.
 
What it won't tell you is where to find the parts. That will be the  
interesting subject of your book.

Most  recent Clubsite discussion re what 'non 300' body parts interchange re  
60-onwards unibody 300s, seems to strengthen the thought that the Club  
should try and gather a 'rust restorers guide', or reference, re helpful  
info such as what body pieces interchange re 300s and non 300 mopar build  
same body cars.

I would suggest this be done for all early 300  basic body styles, ie 55-56, 
then also 57-59s, and 60-61 etc.

I am  prepared to start a 57 'rust resto reference', once I get a bit more 
time  after finishing my last 300C - say maybe in about 5-8 weeks. Can I 
suggest  those familar with the unibodys decide who might volunteer to start 
one  for them, if anyone wishes to.

It seems a pity that those who have  often learnt the hard way what works, 
and what to watch out for, avoid,  cannot pass on this info more readily?  
This may be a start, if not  perfect and complete at first, this website the 
perfect forum to add to,  or correct/improve?

The other part of such a 'guide', could be 'repo  panel parts sources', 
although the response to my recent query as to US  sources of good quality 
rust replacement pieces for 57 style body resulted  in a near (defeaning) 
zero response - surely there must be some quality  rust replacent panel piece 
sources out there, other than searching for  same years Dodge De Soto and 
Chryslers that are good to cut the needed  pieces out of?

Keep them US 300s rolling - our fuel prices here not so  friendly re this 
lately.
