Two 1955 questions

[Mike E.]

I'm helping on a 55, and have two questions:
1) What is proper location of the side script? I can guess at it, but would rather get it right. It's had a nose put on it, and holes filled in the past.

2) Where does one find a correct heater core (with proper tubes) for a 55? Is anyone reproducing those? The tubes are obviously different than for a 53-54 because of the battery size/location.

Thanks!

Contact Roy Braatz!!

You can find his email address under the user profile section, maybe this would get him back onto the discussion board. I think we all miss his posts, he is the guru of 53-55 questions.

Too easy...

The nameplates are 3/4" between the top of the side moulding and the bottom of the side script. The LH script is 8" from the door gap, while the RH is 8 1/8" from the door gap.

Dunno about the core. I'm still using the original. Check with MaryJo on that one.
