Got the Fender Skirts

[RattlesnakeDaddy]

from Agape. they fit very well. picked them up from the customs office today, painted them and put them on. i am not shure about the additional chrome. maybe i will remove it.

Congratulations 'Daddy,

The skirts look like million dollars.

(I shouda bought mine from Agape as well, but, being cheap, I settled with fiber glass by Big Jim's... They fit poor and are nightmare to paint.)

Where did you got the extra chrome trim?

They do bring about a hint of '42 Chrysler...

[Bingster]

That chrome trim looks great!

[RattlesnakeDaddy]

thanks. the chrome is 1" self adhesive trim.

[Thumbtack]

Keep it! Looks awesome!

[BobT-47P15]

A nice look and different.........does remind one of the 1942 trim.

Those look great...wouldn't change a thing, myself.

Looking very nice.

though I got my skirts second hand they were never mounted..they do not come from Agape.but from a competitor..for the price I got them for I cannot really complain much..but like the one Pekka mentioned, they had move waves than the US Navy..took plenty of blocking and such to get them to look decent with a coat of primer...they may eventuallly make it onto one of the P15's..now that I have them not quite that hot on them..lol

[RattlesnakeDaddy]

thank you guys. i think i will keep the chrome. here´s a better pic:

i also made new interior. look at my arm rests :-)

the blue parts will be painted red. the actual color of the car is a dark metallic grey. it goes to the painter next month.

i am not a hot rodder but i like working on the car. i´m a fan of mild customizing too, but i take care that every modification is redoable and that it is possible to go back to a nearly original condition. respect to the old cars is an important thing...

Questions, oh so many questions!

-The armrests...you make those?...I'm missing one for my '40 plymouth so I might just as well make or find two.

-What sunvisor is that? I just recently aquired a fulton 800 for mine.

-Love the spots...I keep thinking dummies for mine since I really don't want to put big holes in the car. I want the "look" of them, not the actual function.

-Like the interior...red and black...nice. What's the headliner?{I'm in the delicate process of trying to pick out interior and exterior colors...not so easy as I 1st thought!} HOK pearl flatz red or blue with a white interior seems to be my current liking...

...can we see the engine...bet you didn't leave that alone...

[RattlesnakeDaddy]

yes. i made the armrests. it took only 15 minutes and it´s easy to do. two pieces of wood. i can mail you detailed pics if you want.

i don´t know anything about the visor. bought it from forum member highpockets. it is old and has a serial number stamped on it, but no manufakturer mark.

the spots are original unity spotlights. i also did not want to cut holes in the car, but do not like the dummy spots. so, i´ve cut the handle of the spotlights and use them as dummies.

the seats and headliner are made by a professional upholstery company. the seats are black leather, the headliner is grey.

the engine is original except for the color. it is red. the only mod is an open K&K air cleaner originally made for a PT Cruiser. choke and hand throttle are not installed.

i can not decide if the exterior color will be a flat grey or shiny black.

the car was frame off restored some years ago (not by me). here´s a pic of the engine:
