I'm getting ready to finally send off the door panels to SMS so that they will be done in a year or two when I'm ready to get back to work on this car but the work will involve adding power windows. To that end, I got new steel trim panels with the proper switch cutouts for the front doors and they need to be painted before being sent off. The replacements are gray but need to be black so what brand and/or type of primer and paint is used for this type of panel? Is it semi-glass or gloss? Is stripping down to the metal preferred?

A 20th Series Clipper is shown briefly and only from the rear near the beginning of the second episode of the Spanish drama on Netflix called Someone Has to Die.

Every one I’ve seen has the thin board behind it and is crimped very lightly into place at the edges. If the new piece is cut and beveled properly, it should just pop back in, then the piece behind keeps it pushed toward the crimped edge to prevent rattling.

Those actually ARE the hubcaps. They are rattling around inside the wheel cover. Anyway, I can’t imagine why they would be loose unless they are the incorrect parts or have taken a “set” of a compressed size. Should be standard so try NAPA for replacements.

Is it possible that your car has the battery Optima tray? I’ve never seen one but know that they are quite different than the stock one.

There was a series of retro cars some years back that looked pretty much like it. Supposedly they were so proportioned that even their front fiberglass parts would fit an original car.

According to moparpro, they make only one tank for 1948-1950 but they made many listings for it on eBay. Some listings are for the years all together while others are for the individual years. None, however, have the long filler pipe.
