Clay -

        Here are some answers that might help:

        The 'V' which meant that the car came with a V8 engine, shows up at Mopar
swap meets occasionally.  If you can't find one, get one off a parts car in
a salvage yard and have it reannodized.  Interesting trivia:  The V emblem
on the Fury is silver, while on all other models, it's gold.
        The Kelsey-Hayes bellows is the same one used on all 57-59 Mopars.  In the
damper parts of the country, you can find good ones in salvage yards.  Hard
to find NOS.
        The shop manual for 58 Plymouth has an illustration on how to make your
own tool for removing door handles.  If you are not a metalsmith, take the
illustration to a metal fabricator in your area.  For about $20, he will
fabricate the tool for you.  That's what I did.
