From the illustration in parts manual it appears the handles have a hole for the same pin arrangement as later models thru 54 used. See if you can push in on the upholstery panel about a quarter to half inch. Later models had a spring behind the panel so it may require a hefty push. If like the later cars, after panel pushes in a bit you will see about a 1/8" diameter pin going thru the handle and operating shaft. Use a pin punch and it should push out unless it has rusted in the hole or a hole in the pot metal handle has deformed due to the pot metal shrinking.

Not sure about the wind wing since the molding may not push in but unless what they show for that handle is a one fits all illustration then it also shows a hole for a pin.

Thanks h.

I was looking for set screw on wind wing..I'll look again.

The window crank area pushes in ...the door handle area is stiff...

Does this look like a reflector for a 30s car tail light..

That reddish wire coming in is connected to your ignition switch cable. Originally there was a square pot metal ferrule that held the wire at that slot...

Thanks.

Flackmaster..

The parts book shows the fertile..have not looked to see if that is there...it might of gave up.

But I find it odd my dad cut the wire.. It's not like him to do that. Except that the insulation was coming off and he might of decided to cut it..

I can make a fertile out of brass.. Or stainless..

Hood trim..guess I'll get some brass and machine them..easy to machine..then chrome

There is a place here that lets you use there machines..but is expensive.I here. But cnc..would be great..then I would have the pattern...and anyone could use it..

Buy a shop manual! I am not a school teacher.

Feel like telling this guy off.. It's people like this who. Ruin

1. A club.
2. Have extorted prices.
3. Why. because I didn't buy from him.
4. Keeping parts out of hands of people who could use them or...save for others who might.

Nothing but praise for David flack..

What a pita.

Whatever someone used to seal headlights.

Used MEK..and that attacked it and made it. Slide the rims off.

No way that could be Packard sealant..Silicone / RTV. Would of worked.

Think I'm going to use glass setting tape and silicone..

Anyway..no special way to remove rims. Once they are free of gunk. They come right off..

Have to figure out where the spring for reflector goes.

And instead of rivits ..going to use bolts to hold retainer clips.
