Where do you guys suggest looking for rust repair panels and a rear (back) window? This would be for a 50' Club Coupe.
http://www.theplymouthdoctor.com/ I've never used theses guys but they have what you want sheetmetal wise. The glass will have to be used so it will be a matter of looking around. You may want to place an ad in the club newsletter. Another good Mopar bunch of guys and gals can be found here http://p15-d24.com/page/index.html !950 was a great year for DeSoto's...good luck with yours.

Their parts are excellent but they make them as you order them
so it takes a while.About 6-8 weeks
Thanks for the suggestions, I will check them out.
I'm debating buying a car that is in fairly decent condition but has some minor rust and is missing the back window and associated trim. The price is fair, 50' coupes seem hard to find, at least in my price range.
