  1. HI Andy, It has come together pretty well, the interior is a real mix and match, Mick had a billet 5 gauge setup planned but I am a huge fan of the more original look. The instrument cluster is 41 Chrysler with modern mechanisms hidden behind, the centre section and wheel are 47 Chrysler. The wheel was recast by Steeringwheelkris in LA and I'm super happy with the result. Transmission wise we are running AP5 push buttons to operate the 727. The trim itself was inspired by Imperial patterns. Triple carbs are proving a headache to get right so far but hopefully this week we can get them sorted. I'm trying get the last few jobs done ready for a final engineering inspection.
  2. Bit of a catchup on this thread, there was some slow progress but the last few months have seen the car return from the Trimmers, Glass all installed and now on the home stretch getting the least few jobs ticked off before the final engineering inspection. Hopefully on the road legally in the next couple of months.
  3. Does anyone remake the door garnish inserts to suit a 1940 Chrysler? Mine are missing on the coupe and I was considering looking into getting something 3D printed?
  4. Further testing, the lock works to unlock and lock when the door is open but as soon as it is closed the door locks with the key but will not unlock. Using the inner handle it will lock and unlock?
  5. Hi guys, It has been a while since I've been on here, I'm still working on my 1940 Chrysler Royal coupe. An issue I am having is with the door lock, I have a new lock which is working perfectly put it isn't locking the door. I can lock the door using the inside handle without any worry. The car was already apart when I got it so it seems I haven't got something connected properly. Also what is the correct retainer for the door lock itself? Trav
  6. And here we have the original small tank mounted behind the rear seat prior to removal. We then cut out the fabricated floor (seemed a shame!) then made a new section at the striker end and the final shot is trial fitting the new drop in alloy tank I had made. Hopefully we will have new filler sorted out and the tank finished later this week. The last few weeks have seen pretty good progress at last.
  7. Here's a couple of photos from the filler removal and returning the panel back to original;
  8. The trim arrived this morning, Thanks again Andy for your help on this, it should do the trick!
  9. Thanks Andy, I will give you a call! I noticed this on a Windsor convertible that could be an option too.
  10. Here’s a few shots of the mouldings on the car.
  11. Thanks Andy, I will get a photo or two and post them up here of the mouldings I have. There a lot of original items the car is missing sadly.
  12. Been a while since I have posted, about to get stuck into a few more jobs on this in coming weeks main things will be to source a dash to match the cluster and find the trim that is on the cowl. Bodywork wise I am removing the filler that was previously fabricated into the top of the rear 1/4 and finding a better fuel tank solution than the one fitted inside the trunk. The rear guards also need some final touches along with the trunk lid prior to paint. All new glass is on it's way and in coming weeks I hope to tick a lot more off the list.
  13. Here's a better shot of the mockup, I will make a new panel and keep hunting a surround to suit.
