Hi Graeme, Great project, I hope it goes well! Are you aware there is a tour in March to celebrate 100-years of Chrysler? There are 2 starting points, from central NSW, and central Victoria, converging on Albury/Wodonga for Chrysler's on the Murray. I know of 2 (possibly 3) E80's starting in NSW, and hopefully another one coming from Vic. There are also 2 cars making the journey from WA. Could be a great opportunity to meet some fellow E80 owners!! Let me know if would like some more details?

Thanks Viv, That is very helpful to know!

Hi, can anyone tell me if 1930 Chrysler brake drums interchange between models? I would like to swap between a 70 to a 77, as I would like to fit wire wheels to a 77. Thanks

Hi John, I'll send you a pm with some details

Beautiful car! Are you planning to attend the National Buick Rally in May?

Hi Billety, That will be a nice car to have when it is finished! There is a chance I might have some cowl lamps that suit, I will dig them out and have a look, and let you know. I'll send you a pm. Viv's suggestion of joining a Chrysler club is worth considering (in case you haven't already!) depending on which state you live in. Good luck!

Is there any chance you can share some photos of the 77 roadster??

Can anyone tell me which model these window trims may come from? They came with some ‘34 Chrysler CA parts that I recently purchased.

Wow Mark that is looking really good! Love the colour too! Just the inspiration I need for a day in the shed!

Just out of interest, how many model 66 tourers are still surviving?? (if any!)

Great job mate, and thanks for sharing your story! I look forward to reading your future posts, and seeing the Chrysler hit the road!!

Hi Mark and Sasha39 Thank you both for your comments and pictures, very helpful indeed! I just need to stop procrastinating and make a start on my timber frame!

G'day Mark, Great job with your project, and thanks for sharing the details of your build! Can I ask.....is the main timber support rail (running parallel to the chassis) one complete piece of timber from the cowl to the rear of the chassis? Or, does the height change over the rear wheels? At some point I need to make a start on my own project, and I am not too sure how the timber in the rear section will look, as my car is a roadster. Lambroast (pm sent)

Thanks Mark, I will post a message on their page!

Does anyone know if there is a difference in gear ratios between the 1927 Reo Flying Cloud transmission, and the 1929 with the silent-second transmission? I can find the ratios for a 1929, (1st 3.13 to 1, 2nd 1.66 to 1, top 1:1) but I cannot find any information for the '27! Any help would be appreciated, Matt
