doug;
[i think] that you are best off to add the main leaf [with the
curls cut off[ and the first floating leaf from another set of worn out
springs to the spring pack you have now, this will accomplish 3 things,
be nice and quick and easy, save you a lot of money and give you a set
of springs that firm up the suspension a bit, raise the car about 2
inches and will never sag again, theyve already sagged to where they
wanted to be.......

Subject: Repro Windshield Project Update
I realize there is much interest out there as to what has become of the reproduction project for the '60-64 windshields.
Below is the update from Vic Phillips as to where it currently stands. Fellas, if we are going to have windshields as the years roll on, it is going to take a man like Vic or someone exactly like him ( who???) to get the job done because he is a dedicated hobbyist.
So please let Vic know of your ongoing interest and support by dropping him an e-mail at classicglass@xxxxxxxx .
I'm not involved in this project other than hoping to see it done, wanting one for my 300F Special, and being a correspondent of Vics partly because we both own Studebakers!

Hey, if you're going the speed of light and you turn your headlights on -
what happens ??
Whilst you guys work that one out, I have another coupla headlight
questions.
I have a client in Europe who says his country forbids sealed beam headlamps
on his old cars (1950's) and they "they" used to sell headlamps that were
Euro legal for these cars "back in the day."
Second, is there really someone out there producing the far superior newer
stlye headlamps to fit our Brutes ?? Methinks I'd be a buyer if so..

Subject: SALVAGE YARD DIRECTORY
OK guys - here goes.
Being a masochist when it comes to my personal workload and perpetual
projects, I've roped myself into another one and agreed to compile a state
by state list of salvage yards that will eventually be available to any club
member via the website and/or in the newsletter once it's "done." By "done"
I mean that I'll be ready to present it to the Club by the end of the year.
So we'll all have a good six weeks or so to contribute. I'm not sure
I'll be babysitting it after that - so you'll need to contact me within that
time frame. I'll include every listing I get - from or about any yard
worldwide.
I've coordinated with the powers that be in the club to start compiling this
list once the next newsletter is mailed out - which they predicted would be
in about 3 weeks. There will be an ad in that newsletter with my address
requesting input from everyone who cares to contribute. That way I can get
all the input from online sources at the same time I get mail from people
not on the internet.
SO PLEASE DO NOT START SENDING ME ANYTHING NOW. IT WILL BE DELETED TO KEEP
THIS INBOX FROM FILLING UP.
I'll be setting up a special email address for this specific purpose, and
will let you know soon what it is when to start submitting stuff to it.
The guidelines that me and the club brass have agreed to are as follows:
Only yards that have parts for any Mopar vehicles UP TO 1970 will be put
onto the list.
Please DO NOT send me new reproduction parts dealers. Only places that have
used parts and/or parts cars will be included. If someone wants to compile
a separate list of, say, NOS suppliers or repro dealers - be my guest. I'm
doing the SALVAGE list.
If you are submitting an entry, please include all the obvious contact
information such as full name and address of the place (duh) as well as
phone numbers, fax, email, website, and so on.
I might also be including a brief description of each yard - limited to one
sentence or two - that will help potential buyers. But I WILL NOT be
including any personal opinions about said establishments. I think after
recent discussions on this listserver - that should be obvious !
For example, facts that can be helpful such as "does not pick or ship parts"
or "has an abundance of late 50's DeSotos" will likely be included with a
listing. But statements such as "that guy is my hero" or "they suck" will
not be included.
Get it ?
If anyone has any questions - lemme know. I think that should give
everyone good enough idea of what we are doing here to provide club members
with a new resource. Just have your info ready to submit in a few weeks
time.
We just had our first frost here in Virginia - so it's time I headed back to
the yards myself now that the vast, endless squadrons of mosquitos are all
dead !
Happy Pickin',
Sean.

Sean -
It may also be useful to list days/hours that the yard is open. I know
several yards that are only open Saturday.
The National DeSoto Club also maintains a Salvage Yard Directory. Don't
know if it's online, though.

From: Stephen Hawking <nilla6@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Newsgroups: rec.autos.antique
I'm trying to help a guy who needs to clean out the cars his father
collected years ago. Most of these are for parts but the * means it's
savable -
Chrysler:
1940 sedan * $500
1958 Windsor 2-dr hardtop * $500 (needs pans, rockers, windshield)
1960 Newport wagon (this one will probably get cut up for parts)
1960 2-dr hardtop not sure what model $400
1963/4 4dr $400
Dodge:
1956 4dr $400
1959 4dr pink/white * $500
1960 4dr $400
1960 wagon $500
1961 4drs (2) Both are either Dart or Seneca not Polara $400 ea
Several 50's trucks
Desoto
1954-ish 4dr (no motor) $300
1959 4dr $450
Plymouth
1959 4dr $400
1960 wagon $500
1961 2dr post coupe * (maybe) $500
Several Valiants 1963-5 make offer
These cars need to leave as complete units. Sooner or later the
crusher will be brought in and you can say goodbye to them all. I have
never seen another 58 Chrysler anywhere, they're tough to find.
Located in New York.
