Hi. As part of the body off frame restoration on my 57 Plymouth Fury, I have been trying to locate as much correct info as possible on factory daubs/markings, their exact location, size, color etc., in order to make my Fury as close to factory correct as possible. I would be keen for anyone with a correct original 57 or 58 Plymouth to inform me of any such markings that they are aware of. Here are the facts on my 57 Fury. The torsion bars have orange paint daubs, as if they were done quickly with a 1 inch brush. 1 daub on the right and 2 daubs on the left, 2 inches apart. About 12 inches from the housing end of the bar. The hidden number on the top of the frame, the engine number, is located on the top of the frame rail, on the driver's side, in line with the rear edge of the front door. It is to be noted that the stamping is very faint, and takes a bit of scoping even in bright sunlight. It would be impossible to see while the body is on the frame. Thanks to members of the List, I can also confirm that there is a "Paint-OK" stamp on the firewall over by the drivers side hood hinge, beside the brake booster. Do the torsion bar housings have paint daubs as Chryslers have? Was there a frame manufacture number stenciled on the side of the frame as Chryslers have? And any others? I will appreciate any input on this subject. Glenn Barratt, 57 Fury, Auckland, New Zealand. |
