Hello, I’m changing the rumble seat to trunk in a 36 3/W,is there anyone out there that makes the trunk area gutters and parts I will need ?,and any tips appreciated
Thanks in advance.
 
The lower part of the gutter is not reproduced as a stock item by any vendor I am aware of.


From a previous thread:


1935-36... Trunk hinges, Wescott. Check under the body for two brackets with slotted holes for mounting the hinges, if not you will have to fabricate these. Latch, Ecklers. Latch striker, Wescott. Lower drip channel is welded in, not reproduced and must be fabricated. Prop, Modify the 1933-34 from Tom Bay. Prop shoulder bolt, Snyders. Seal, Drake or Carpenter. Handle, reuse original or Vintique (die cast chrome). Handle pad, Drake or Carpenter. Handle lockwasher, Snyders.


I, or any good dealer of your choice, can aggregate all of these parts if you don't want to make 20 phone calls.
 
I had Metal Union Speed Shop in Lilburn GA fab and install the gutters in my coupe when I converted it back to a trunk after a previous owner cut it to make a rumble.No more puddles in the trunk floor now! The Drake repop trunk hinges didn't fit and the real ones are rare and pricey.
 
Josh Carrillo can make you the replacement gutter, but he will have to fabricate it and you will be paying hourly shop rates to do it. He specializes in 35-36’s and his work is top notch. I know he is a member here but not a big poster.
