[Chrysler300] idea re major rust repair in early 300s?

["christopher beilby" <thelastbestgenius@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Most recent Clubsite discussion re what 'non 300' body parts interchange re 
60-onwards unibody 300s, seems to strengthen the thought that the Club 
should try and gather a 'rust restorers guide', or reference, re helpful 
info such as what body pieces interchange re 300s and non 300 mopar build 
same body cars.

I would suggest this be done for all early 300 basic body styles, ie 55-56, 
then also 57-59s, and 60-61 etc.

I am prepared to start a 57 'rust resto reference', once I get a bit more 
time after finishing my last 300C - say maybe in about 5-8 weeks. Can I 
suggest those familar with the unibodys decide who might volunteer to start 
one for them, if anyone wishes to.

It seems a pity that those who have often learnt the hard way what works, 
and what to watch out for, avoid, cannot pass on this info more readily?  
This may be a start, if not perfect and complete at first, this website the 
perfect forum to add to, or correct/improve?

The other part of such a 'guide', could be 'repo panel parts sources', 
although the response to my recent query as to US sources of good quality 
rust replacement pieces for 57 style body resulted in a near (defeaning) 
zero response - surely there must be some quality rust replacent panel piece 
sources out there, other than searching for same years Dodge De Soto and 
Chryslers that are good to cut the needed pieces out of?

Keep them US 300s rolling - our fuel prices here not so friendly re this 
lately.
