Doesn't run yet, and I plan on doing a restomod on it, modern internals and the works. I want to keep the visuals completely "factory" or as close as I can get. And on the paint job I figured that would be the consensus I was just wondering if there were any personal contacts lol.

I would suggest getting it going with the factory drivetrain. In the long run it will be easier and cheaper.

Didn't you say you wanted this project to be done within 1 year?

It will also then be a Packard instead of a Chevy

Have you tried the « usual suspects » like Chirco, Merritt, Kanter?

They look great but the mold is still a concern as it has to have come from somewhere. It’s either in the padding inside the armrest and somehow getting through the old vinyl or it’s inside the car but doesn’t like the paint. Either way, it wouldn’t hurt to get a mold test kit to be sire you’re not breathing it.

I rebuilt these last winter and the white growth only grows on the plastic base, not the padding or vinyl. I'm pretty sure it's the Tenite they added to plastic to make it soft. There are plenty of stories online talking about plastics that have Tenite breaking down and creating a bad smell.

I'll see what happens over the next year or so.[/quote

Reread my earlier post to you instead of saying ´adding Tenite to plastic to make it soft’. It looks like it was bloom and you have a good chance of it not reappearing now

Re: 1940 160 Coupe

Senior business coupes are very rare, and are the lightest body with a 356. Probably the only performance challenger would be a Buick Century

It’s a 41 engine, so while some loss in value not a serious one as it is a 356. Packards are not like muscle cars in this

Large tan one in the center looks like the control for the cowl vent at the base of the windshield

Thanks. I found an intact piece this morning. It’s 3 inch tarpaper and folds 90 degrees to sit on the frame rail. Completely brittle by now. I’m thinking rubber sheet will be a better idea , or should I replace in kind?
