Projects 1940 Chrysler kustom driver.

Time for a new Project thread.
Traded a 54 Chevy 2door post for this 1940 Chrysler Windsor.
Always wanted a late 30s early 40s coupe.

The goal with this one is a mild custom and a good driver.

This is what i started with.
A solid car with a really good body, original engine is long gone and a later 318/727 combo took its Place.

 

Me likely ,,,,,,

 

There were alot of stuff that needed attention but you know how it is, first thing to do is to lower the front

 

Nex thing on the list was to scrap the ugly smoothie Wheels with radials and get some steel Wheels and White walls.
Got me some 6,70-15 Firestones.

 

The original dash is kinda ugly (not mine on the first pic).
Mine was also hacked up and hade some modern autometer guages badly installed. Someone also added some bling-bling chrome tape to make it even worse.

Lets cut it all out and make something new.
Filled the hole dash for a start.



Then i added a 54 Chevy guage cluster i had, sadly im missing a speedometer.
Also note the nice "new" 12v system.....

 

Some White paint added.

 

Right on! Looks great already! Subscribed!!

 

Cool.
