Re: [FWDLK] Rear window removal, more 60 Chrysler stuff

["Bill K." <pontiac@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You know, that window popped right out after I pulled the locking strip and
ran a screwdriver around it.


This car is so bizzarely rotted, the rear deck and trunk lid are garbage, it
has rot in the upper quarter on one side around the window channel -

But has 99% of the floors all in it and under the one sill plate I pulled
looks like new.  And this with the windshield gone out of it who knows how
long, too.

One fender is good, one is rotted out along the crown over the headlight.
Both quarters are shot in the trunk, but most of the trunk floor is in it.

Both doors have most the bottom gone and rot down the inner fronts of them.
Hood has some small holes and hinges frozen, but it's not bent.


Just very strange even compared to the Windsor I bought which was on the
road about the same length of time yet has no trunk floor, a lot of interior
floor rot, and the rear subframe is shot.



Which is a question I need to have answered.  What rear subframes
interchange to my '60 New Yorker Wagon?   I noted today it has a huge chunk
utterly gone on one side - the car may not be as savable as I thought.
It's going to come out on a rollback I think now.




Thanks!

Bill K.
