alot of stuff only fits together one way, they dont have directions to put puzzles together! just start looking at stuff and it will come together
I doubt if there are any diagrams, unless maybe in an old shop manual or something. Do a Google search. If you are building a hot rod, you shouldn't need any instructions......right?
There are no shop manuals for the 1932 Plymouth. Ask me questions via email. I can help. John at keiser31@charter.net
I couldn't help but laugh when I read "guy sold it to me all in pieces", not that "you bought it all in pieces". I do not know how many parts you are dealing with but I would start with plenty of space and lay them out left, center, and right; starting with the pieces that you recognize. Some of the people on here are capable and will help with more information and photos.
Don't worry- I can help! First put everything back in the boxes, car, etc. I'll come by in a couple of days and take it off your hands!
Buy a model kit and sell the plymouth to somebody that can think. Assembling a body doesn't require a degree from MIT.
Check out this thread on the AACA forum. If he can figure this jig saw puzzle out, so can you. Go slow and good luck.
Oooooh! Thats like treasure!! Aladdins Cave but in an automotive sense! johnold1938: I just bought a 1930 Chrysler CJ 3W, if you need any photos give me a shout or look at my flickr page for some i've already taken... http://www.flickr.com/photos/yewtreebarn/sets/72157629639784985/ ... and calm down, take it easy and take your time, plenty people on here on hand to help out, i can vouch for that much! Also AACA forum and P15-D24 forum are good places for info guidance and support. Dudley
I had my '63 T-Bird for sale, engine down to shortblock: Guy emailed me and asked if I could lay all the parts out, including bolts, number them, and provide an 'order of assembly'. I asked if he wanted them cleaned... Lay the stuff out. Buy a model car, say a Revell '32 Ford 3 window coupe kit. (1/25 scale, under $20) That kit is the most similar to your car, and parts are likened to the genuine article, albeit the suspension differs in the springing. There is a sheet that numbers all the parts, (parts are numbered on the plastic 'trees', also; There are seriously some parts that have to be identified like this even for the experienced builder) This is the most comprehensive solution I can think of. We compare model kit parts to Gennie stuff all the time, and are amazed at the scale and clarity of parts...
This works as well as any other solution. You may run ito a measurement that you are not sure of if the body needs to be welded back togehter but once you figure that out you can ask someone to snag a measurrement for you and you will be golden.
