RE: {Chrysler 300} Question about restoration and doors alignment



For the '57 to '59:   For a frame-up re-build,  the door alignment MUST be made while replacing the body on frame.  The space for doors expands during use!  On The Carpenter '59 at Champagne, Illinois Nat'l, he had no letters on hood;  said he got a replacement hood that had no holes(!) and he didn't like them anyway!

Rob -

I imagine that correct alignment could be achieved by the right adjustment. But my concern is that there may be excessive body filler, which may have created this situation. When you were down there, did you check the panels with a small magnet, like a refrigerator magnet ?

Hood letters: Are the holes for the letters still there, or did they get covered over with body filler ?

Subject: {Chrysler 300} Question about restoration and doors alignment



Hello Chrysler Group:

I'm looking at a 1959 Chrysler 300 E Convertible 
for purchase (I just completed an inspection and appraisal)
and it seems both passenger and
driver doors are showing significant misalignment.
It has a body on restoration, repaint, re chrome done in 2014.
Whoever did the work also did not replace the 
hood nose letters as there is simply nothing there.
Is it likely when the repaint was done they removed
doors but did not reinstall correctly?
How easy is this to correct?
I'm questioning the quality of the restoration with those two
issues?
I would appreciate any advice or thoughts from the wisdom
within this group.

Here is the link to the vehicle I am considering:

Thanks
