Hi; I am Roy Asbjornsen and am new to the list. I have been retired for two years and reside in Puyallup Washington (About 30 miles south of Seattle)! I just recently acquired a 55 Desoto Firedome two door hardtop that the previous owners were not to kind to, like heating the coil spring to lower it, securing loose chrome trim with hex head screws through the trim, etc. I'm sure you get the picture! In the last three weeks I have traveled over 6,000 mi. getting rust free parts and parts cars from high desert country (Defiantly not from the Seattle area). I have been able to find chrome trim that has been in wrecking yards for up to 35 years that look like they are NOS. Hardest parts to locate are good pit free outside door handles for 55s. Have pit free 56 handles but will keep looking for the 55s. I have questions but will save them for later. I'm glad to be aboard. <>Roy<> Roy Asbjornsen Puyallup Washington 55 Firedome 2/d h/t 72 Mercedes 350SL roadster |
