Series 4 sheetmetal.
I live in So. Cal. and just this past week found out just how badly both doors have been bashed / butchered /bondoed /....on my project alpine.
How complete are your doors?
Last time I traveled out of state to pick up sunbeam parts [ Joses kit ] it cost me a fortune in repairs to my truck and rental car cost and milage. Not to sure if I can convince my wife that I need to do this again.
If you dont get any local takers for these parts drop me a PM and I'll see what I can do about taking you up on this.
Thanks.. Chuck.

Since a IV could have either style over it's manufactured years and he doesn't mention, you probably should ask if they're square or round corner doors so you know if they match your car's body style.

You are correct! My error,
These are from a round corner car.
Chuck, The doors are stripped of all parts, I can send photos if you like. I am also willing to strip off the paint/primer to verify what is underneath (as I do not know but the rest of the car had ru$t). I do not see any damage or repairs looking in from the "inside". I might be going to the Grand Canyon-Bryce areas in September so, it would save some drive time from SoCal.

Bill,
There is a local guy that could probably use a round cornered hood.
Is it still available?
Hi Bashby.
Well my car is a round corner one [ that is the lower rear corner. Right! ] I would be interested if they dont require too much repair
Are you familar with the expression ,Dont look a gift horse in the mouth ?
Is that what I'm doing? After all the Ad. said freebes!
However we will work something out for expences if you have to store and transport them. But I was hoping to see your car if I pick them up
Both my doors are in pretty bad shape so put my name on them.
......Thanks.Chuck....Gitnrusty .

Bill,
I'm in Phoenix and could arrange to meet you near the Canyon and store stuff down this way until So Cal members could come by to pick up. I'm right off Interstate 10 west of Phoenix.
I'd be interested in the Series4 top storage parts and any good trim that might turn up.
When you get close to coming down this way, let me know.

Nick, Careful I might be taking you up on this! I might have some Series 4 parts as well, need to sift through the boxes to see what I want to keep for the 5. I also have a complete Series 4 crossmember (not disassembled) and a windshield frame (with glass) it is all I thought might be useful - Little did I know that the Series 5 I bought had taken a major hit on the left-side -especially the front and I could have used the fender...but it went to rust heaven some time ago. Oh what you find that PO's have hidden under Bondo "... used a little DuraGlass to fill some small dings and dents..."
Bill
I'll pm you with contact information. If it makes it easier for members, I'm fine with that. Depending what it is, I may have to store it outside (it's Arizona-Relax) (Unless it hangs around thru Monsoon season....High wind and rain) Coordinate it with the new owners so the stuff isn't here for months and we're cool. A few weeks is no sweat. Glad to help.

Series 4 doors
Bill.
Just got your E mail. Bad news on the doors, it sounds like they are worse than what I have. Mine are bashed but rust free so I will have to brush up on my bodywork skills to fix POs bondo work.
Thanks so much for the trouble you took to explain their condition. maybe someone can use them and free up youre storage space [ those right coasters love fixin rust ].
Im going to reshedule our Colorado trip, was looking foreward to seeing your car and my wife was checking the penny jar fo a stopover in Vagas. We'll make it some other time.
Thanks again.....Chuck.

Owner'sHandbook
I just (re) jone the club. I own a 1964 Series IV Automatic which I had in storage since 1994. Recently, I decided to make it drivable and made an inventory of items that I need. It's mostly all there except for rust in the usual areas. I have been locating the various manuals that I need and the only one missing now is the Owner's Handbook for the automatic version. Any ideas? Appreciate any info. Thanks,
ArturoV
