Here are a couple of photos showing the NOS Chrysler Radio that was used for this project. It was the second Unit that had to be installed. The first one was also an NOS setup but did not work when it was removed from its original box. I ended up finding an identical replacement and it worked perfectly.
Here are a few pictures showing the replacement Vinyl Top we are using. This issue has set us back and caused numerous delays in planning for the Show events. Legendary made the first 6 or 7 Tops but they all had problems with “pleating” at the Seams. We had requested (numerous times) that they not piece sections together that had different tensions at the Seam. Because of their inability to follow our simple instructions, we used another Manufacturer for our Custom Top. After going through all of these problems, I made sure I took the time to find a very reputable source.
Top Creations in Oklahoma City, is a Company that actually worked with Chrysler in the 1960’s and helped design the Charger Tops. The material they offered to us was the same material that was used on the Auto-Rama Show Cars and it worked perfect for our application. Their Vinyl material was far superior to the plastic like Vinyl used by Legendary. The Seams did not have a melted appearance and the construction was much better than the bulky (plastic lined) Seam construction used by Legendary. As troublesome as all of this was, I was very happy with the final results. Sometimes the little setbacks are what is needed to take a giant step forward. The appearance, quality and fit worked perfect for this Project. Here are some comparison photos.
Here are a few pictures showing the Broadcast Sheets in place. We had about 14 printed and will use them in areas where they were found on Factory Cars. The great thing about these are that they are the original Broadcast Sheets to this Concept Vehicle. (lol)
Here is a photo of the Broadcast Sheet that we created for this Concept Tribute Vehicle. We decided to make approximately 6 to install throughout the Car. They will be placed in the same areas that the Factory originally installed them it. The Front Seat Back, top of Glove Box, Back Seat, etc……
Here are a few pictures showing the alterations on the Rear Seat Bottom that had to be made for this Project. I had requested that the cushion be firm and for the material not to have any loose fitting spots. Those instructions were obviously ignored and we had to remove the covering to add additional padding to specific areas. Now the Rear Seat looks Factory original and no longer exhibits loose fitting material. Here are some “BEFORE & AFTER” photos of the work.
