Dave...sorry pic was too big. Just click on the link on my signature line. "1930 A Bone"

Thanks Pat - and the pictures showed me where to put the step plates as well. It appears that they are centered in the door opening. It doesn't look like you are using the fender welt everywhere Ford did either.

My 93 year old mother in law has been waiting for me to finish mine so she can go for a ride - and I KNOW that she will use them.

LeBaron-Bonney have the standard plates at $38 and the DeLuxe at $50 plus another $20 for the emblems. Macs are now quite a bit more, for whatever reason.

How come you are calling yours a '30 with the '31 splash shields - or was it "just one of them things"?

IC2, I have been thinking about using those to protect my 34 boards. Not sure how they would look but I like the protection angle. I also think they look better centered in the door and squared to the outer edge.

My .02 cents anyway!

Not sure how they would look on a post '32 car. Why not make up a facsimile out of wood or sheet metal before you spend $50 for the plates (or wander up to Ayer and see the LeBaron-Bonney folks - they might let you borrow a set to look at when the car is available)

Mine will be door opening centered and about an inch back from the edge - decisions have been made with a little help from my friends here!!!!!

What a PITA to put these things together - 2 sets of SS trim to get 1 good useable set for the 2 boards, a piece of SS from the Metals Supermarket, 2 sets of matting (the stickum and contact cement on the first set was no good) and some super sticky 2 sided tape. Needless to say, aftermarket stuff isn't always good Chinese quality - which is where it ALL came from.

That's a good idea on L.B., maybe they would let me set'em on the boards and get an idea of the look.

Glad to hear of your decision!

When it comes time to cover my boards I hope your around so I can pick your brain! LOL..
