Matt; you must have had to get to that Broadcast Sheet from 'above' the springs!

Can you post up an image or two of it, over on our Fender tag Decoding board?

Hand-written, huh; wow....

Broadcast Sheets installed under the rear seats did not occur in Dodges until the 1960 model year.

Your Broadcast Sheet must have pertained only to the creation of the upholstery---just as the B.-Sheets that are
found taped to the back of the glove boxes pertained only to the creation of the dashboards.

You should get your B.-Sheet laminated, to preserve it.



This broadcast sheet pertains to things about and on the car, all the numbers I posted above are on this sheet. I'd post a photo of it, but the camera will not capture the numbers as they are pencil written and light.

PLEASE try....scan it, maybe, and send the PDF to someone (me) so we can arrange to post its image on the Fender Tag
board!

Maybe even a straight jpeg photo of it.

I am going to make a wooden jig to support the cowl, need to do this to remove and install the floor panels. Until I can get around to building that, this week after work, I have been patching the rear seat floor brace. Still have more work to it, I patched one side of it. A lot of time is in this.

Today with the help of my dad, we built a wooden jig so the cowl can be supported. Turned out well, just need some hardware to mount it. I got the idea of it after the one Bob Beck built during restoration for his '55 Buick Convertible that was featured in Hemmings Classic Car back in 2007.

Recently I started finishing up the driver's side patch panel I will be using. This came off a 57, which differs from a 58. While the floor sheet metal itself is the same, the outriggers go from rocker to rocker on 57s, while 58s are shorter. Also, the reinforcement at the first body mount location differs. So I trimmed the outriggers down to the exact size that 58s were and spotwelded the 58-style body mount reinforcement. Also, the 3rd body mount brackets, which are convertible only items were made up, still need to weld these to the floor. Before I install this floor panel, I am going to patch the lower cowl area behind where the kick panel would go, it seems to be easier to do that and clean up the welding with the floor section out of the way, then it would be to do later.

Matt.Here,s a recent photo, The car getting old we restored it almost 30 years ago but its very solid, the engine is a little tired, and the 1980"s incorrect interior is still nice but the seats are starting to yellow & sag so I am planning on doing alot of the car over . Even a possible color change, my interior shop has already ordered a new top , But its a great car and i love it! I can't believe i have it so long! Time flies. Happy Motoring! Victor..

Nice, thanks for the photos. Sounds like you owned it for a long time, you don't look like you could have owned it all those years, you must have bought it young. Keep us posted on the work your doing to her. I like the color.

I like them almost as much as a 57 Plymouth cap. Happy motoring! Victor.

Thanks Clive. I wouldn't have this car if it wasn't for your help. Yeah, it needs everything and then some, but that's really the only way I'll be happy with a car is if it's all gone through. I am updating this thread regular now, I am working on it on average about 15 hours a week.

Geesh ! When you first shared pix of this car, I thought "That's a pretty nice car"

It is almost bad enough to make my DeSoto look rust free !

OK, ... not quite. But it sure does need some *deep* work. Wow !

Coming along nicely, though.

Thank you Brent. I know what Syracuse can do to cars, I'm from there, but moved away when I was about 4. My father's cars were not good, like his 62 Bonneville Conv, he would have to "bondo up" the lower part of it about every year. My mother's parents had a 54 Plymouth and by 1960, sitting in the car looking down they could see the road.

Here are some photos of the patch I made for the lower kick panel area on the passenger side. Had to also patch the patch I used. Also, I have been working on the replacement floor, but still got much to do there. Lots of work!

Thank you. You are doing quite a job on your 58 too. Yeah, I am hiding any welding I do, even if it's underneath the vehicle. And will spotweld panels together where it's possible.

I've been working on the floor. It had some damage to it on the passenger side. Had to remove the rear outrigger, repair it, and remove some dents in the floor, then reinstall. Also, 4 dr sdn cars had the rear part of the trans tunnel pounded down at the factory, so I had to pound them out.

Today I installed the front floor section. The rear cut line will be centerline of the front edge of the rear seat support brace.

I included a photo of the body mount bolts, only one came out in one piece, very rusty.

I got nothing but tons of respect for you guys who put that much work into one of these cars. Wow.

Can't wait til you get her finished...I'm definitely coming up to see her in whatever show or event you have her in.

Thanks. A lot of inspiration on here like Raffa's Desoto and John's 59 Plymouth.

It's nice to see progress finally with this car, boosted my morale getting that floor section in.

Excellent work, Matt!!
Did you make the third body mount, or was it something a suppllier offered?

I still have to do this, but I do have the '59 DeSoto to make measurements from.

Sideshow Bob on here...his pop made me these using my originals as patterns. He's a good friend of mine, he was the one who went to Minnesota with me to get this car and its parts car.

Another hard panels to get made up are going to those rockers. There's a lot of detail to them, even the inners.

Talk w/ Big M. He had them made for his 59 and likely has the contact to do it again. Why re-invent the wheel ?

Thanks Bob. Actually I had to take that panel back out, still need a little more metal finishing, but I just wanted to see how it would look with a solid floor.

Nice work! More than I'd want to get into, that's for sure. Makes my 58 look like a walk in the park.
