Hi guys and gals thanks for the add

 I just recently got the car of my dreams and am anxious to get it started. But before I do so I need a few parts, most importantly the trunk deck lid. If I'm not abel to get an original could I some how put two ends off a club coupe and add the center.? Any ideas my friends?

Did you talk to the guys at French Lake Auto?  They have a lot of old stuff.  I am getting a core 230 to build and shipping, with liftgate service was reasonable.  I know someone else got an entire front suspension with frame from them recently.

If you lived in the Seattle area I could fix you right up with a NOS 1941 Chrysler trunk lid....same except for license stop lamp holes.

Yes my first time using metallic paint.  My 2nd paint job.

You may have found your retirement occupation.

I've found out that a good paint job is 80% body prep.

Yup,the tedious,unglamourous work that most people don't even relalize is essential,and even most of the people who do suspect all the work involved,just don't care about.

 

Everybody wants to cut corners and get a bargain price. It just ain't possible.
