Re: escutcheon 1930-31

That explains the damage to the escutcheon, the prior owner cut a 1/4" out of every escutcheon to remove the pins. Gueez...

Re: escutcheon 1930-31

But but it is hard to push the escutcheon back, pull handle forward and with two more hands, when you only have two, tap the pin out with nail / hammer. Not much give sometimes to get the pin out but lots of cussing.

Yes, I have found that working on these cars will expand one's vocabulary.

Re: escutcheon 1930-31

I'm very excited today, I received the reproduction Chevy escutcheon are are an excellent match.
The repro ID is 2mm wider, other than the Durant originals, but ost other details are very close.
The bright chrome hide the cone shape in the middle, but still theser are going to make the 619 interior Pop.

Don't forget to use the added vocabulary when installing them. They look great and since Chevy was Billy's can be forgiven, unlike using Ford parts.

Re: escutcheon 1930-31

My new handles arrived from Vintage Reproductions in Australia yesterday.
Coupled with the new escutcheon I think I've got a winning combination here.
