jd2ksilver Prowler Junkie Posts: 4360 From: Mt. View, CA Registered: JUL 2000	posted 12-03-2005 05:07 PM I know I know, a small item,, but it's cool to me. 1952 Plymouth Got these off of Ebay, not the correct size, I need the ones for 7 inch lights ( I think ) But made them work. I have almost everything working on the car now. Radio, heater, (need to the cardboard duct from the blower to the firewall, but I think I will make it out of sheet metal), all the lights. Just need on auto choke and done for bone stock. But had to post this,, ok, I know, its not my Silver Bullet, but I am having a blast with it. thanks for looking.

I believe that a friend of mine just bought the wagon version last week. I'll ask CJ to post a couple of pictures that I have. You might get a kick out of it.

No spectra flair Marty, Car is to old for that look. It had sat in a body shop for three years also I found out, after doing more reserch. I have only found two minor scratches. Has new paint, color is 99 Chevy Impala Blue.

RPL Prowler Junkie Posts: 3448 From: Rochester Hills, MI Registered: JUL 2000	posted 12-04-2005 01:50 PM My friend has a number of the original take off items. I remember seeing window regulators, IP cluster and outside side mirrors to mention a few.
jd2ksilver Prowler Junkie Posts: 4360 From: Mt. View, CA Registered: JUL 2000	posted 12-04-2005 02:57 PM I'm doing pretty good at finding parts so far. I have a NOS trunk and hood emblems coming in now. Also found molding clips and hardware. I do need the rear fender trims for a Cranbrook. And a temp gauge, however I think mine works, someone cut the hard wired piece to the block so they could remove the dash cluster. I do have a after market temp gauge working, but I am going to test the original with heat today, as they left about six inches of copper line remaining to the gauge. If that works I will splice the new into the old. Even if not real accurate it will be back to original. These gauges only read C to H anyway. I got the 6 volt positive ground radio working, and repaired the original interior light switch. So I am pretty good to go. I do have a line on a overdrive tranny, that were options for these years. One in PA I think and the shipping cost may kill the deal. But this car needs overdrive to keep the engine purring like it does now. Also have a lowering kit on the way. Sorry for so long of reply, but to be honest my prowler is pretty much the way I want it now. None finer looking IMO. And, except the few cases of strokers with luck at not blowing trannys, these cars will never be a feared street machine. With far less money I can drop a crate motor with power train in the 52 and go hunting. That is JMO, sorry. If your friend has those parts I mentioned I would be very interested.
