I ordered mine a year ago.  The cost was $225 + $20 S&H, with a $50 deposit required for the order.  He also requests you send an original so he can be sure he is using the correct patern.  He will return them. His back-log is 6-8 months.  Well worth the cost and the wait.

Can someone post a picture of the aluminum sill plate installed on their car?
#184
I guess any style is basically OK?
I'll go with a black ribbed design.
#185
OK, thanks
#186
Did you have to do any machining, or was it ready to install?

I just received my new sill plates for my 29 Plymouth 4 Dr from Don Kuhn.   They look great.  Question - should the sills be installed under the sill covers, or on top of them?

Regarding the color, I did find a very small patch of original color when I removed the bracket from the back of the dash, but I was not able to computer match it because it was too uneven in color.  The color I chose does look similar to that patch though.  I also looked at a lot of other blue 29 Plymouths, it seemed the right color.

It is Dupont Nason CAS536 1F with a clear coat.

I had my outside door handles and escutcheons chrome plated.  When I went to put them back together I noticed the handles do not sit all the way into the escutcheons - I guess the chrome plating made them too thick.  Question - the handles should sit all the way into the escutcheon sockets, correct?

When re-assembling, the spring sits on the inner part of the escutcheon - correct?

Also - Most every old Plymouth I have seen has at least one outside door handle that sags.  Has anyone ever tried to repair a door latch with a weak spring?

The lug nuts are exactly the same as the Model T Ford.  You can order them on-line from Snyders.

Today I picked up my 1929 Plymouth 4 door sedan from the paint and body shop.  After 43 years I finally got it repainted!  Next I have to put the rest of it back together and get the Pin stripping done.

What is the correct style for the front floor mat, and where can the material be bought?
#193
I could use two good front fenders

Ted,
Thanks!

The judging guide states, "Pin stripe outlined wood graining on the sedan cowling"

What exactly does this mean?  Where is the woodgraining supposed to be at, and what does it look like?
