    Try Bob Owens Salvage in Wellington, Texas. He's a good friend of a friend of mine in New Mexico and has a great inventory of '40s and '50s parts and cars. Don't have a number but try information.

    I don't have the number off hand but try EasyJacks out of Junction City, Kansas. His son Jamin is now running the place seeing that Jack just p***ed recently. Good people, been there many times and bought stuff many times

    When you walk thru the office and they say, "this 1/2 of the yard is prewar and the other side is post war" you know your in the right place!

    Try Old car guys on the web. It is a listing of yards in MO that deal in older cars and parts. Good Luck
     
  20. Isn't that door the same as a 46-48 Chevy, but without the holes for the extension? Ya might have to broaden your search ;)

    Nope it has to be a 41 olds door I bought all the interior window moldings for Chevy Buick and Pontiac thinking they would fit this car but only olds fit the others were longer or taller.
     
  22. Oh well. Never would have guessed that, but....
    How about this---if you can find a rust free Chevy door, it could yield the outer skin, and you might get your metalman to straighten the inner door structure. That would be my default if I couldn't find a door(I've been in the body shop business for 30+ years ;)) Just a suggestion. Maybe section the skin in below the belt and you won't have to re-do the door handle(though I wish you would:eek::eek:) Good luck with the search :cool:

    Have you looked in Hemmings and called vendors that advertise in the Oldsmobile section? There are lots of vendors throughout the 'mixed makes' section also.
