1955 Speedster Restoration

#1 Post by Jerry Garwick »

I am trying to find a source for the panel as shown on the parts book. It is item 14. Unfortunately, the parts book does not list the items name as the call outs jump from item 13 to 15, omitting part 14. I would prefer not to fabricate the items as they are rather complex having openings for both the heater tube and the rear torsion bar tube.

Any help?

I always called the inner fender well liner. It fits between the aft floor bulkhead aft to above the axel bumper stop ring

Somewhere on this link they is photos and descriptions on how to make one, and install it. Is is most extensive overhaul I have seen but a good reference. Its a couple hundred pages long, go get a cup of coffee.

It is difficult to determine from the parts diagram, but we have several chassis parts in stock, which you can look at on the website.
parts #s 183, 185,. click on the pictures to blow them up so you can easily determine what you need. if you don't see what you need give us a call
