  Well brokeass,  you've got your work cut out for you and your pocket book!  The window seals are available through "Steele rubber parts".  They reproduce almost all 1920's to 1960's window seals,  weather stripping, etc...   I believe that the body mounts on your car were rubber pads like my '34.  They are readily available as well.  Your window winders have rebuild kits available on ebay or try "Chev's of the 40's" (I know it's a '39, but they carry older stuff too) or "The Filling Station".  As for your other parts?  I think you will be doing a lot of swap meets / internet searches for your dash etc.  You are planning on rodding it so go at it and have fun! biggrin

I would gladly buy one but that's a long drive. As far as parts,panels,etc I might be able to find you a few things if you like. Check out Hemmings Motor News they usually have a lot of vintage parts and cars and retailers. This is a car we have up here,going to bring it home as soon as it dries up.

That seems to be the biggest problem brokeass.  If they were rollers,  they are easy to ship.  I was looking at a 30's Chev to ship from Alberta:  4 companies wanted nothing to do with the vehicle because it wasn't running and the 5th company wanted extra $$$ to cover their cost of extra work because it was a roller.  If your cars were also registered,  that would make a big difference as well to potential buyers.   The fact you are going to try and assemble some is more appealing to a buyer than someone looking at a pile of parts.  I would be interested (as we discussed before...) but shipping these now is getting more and more expensive.    Just my 3 cent opinion.

The car I was talking about was going to be shipped from Alberta to southern Ontario.  It would have cost $1500 to $1700 because the car was just a roller.
