I want to add ashtrays and armrests to the rear panels in my 48 Super Deluxe coupe but I don't have cutout info to make the attachment correct, I have all the parts. The existing side panels were blank, could use some dimension, I have several photos that show the locations, if any Barn members could help it would be appreciated.

If you can remove the side panels, the recesses for the ash trays can be easily seen -a least they are on the Tudor. Not sure about the arm rests in a coupe.

Contact Lebaron-Bonney or Cartouche. They may be able to supply you a pattern out of paper that can give you the locations. If that is not an option then purchase one of LeBaron-Bonney's bare cardboard panels. It should come with the holes punched or marked and you can use that for your pattern.

If you have the armrests and ashtrays with the mounting plate remove the panel and hook the armrest in place and then take your measurments,. Same with the ashtray. There is fiberboard behind and below the armrest which your upolster will figure out. These attach to the wood armrest.

If you don't have any panels why not order the bare panels from Lebaron-Bonney? They will come with the correct holes and cutouts for the ashtrays and armrests. Why spend hours trying to figure out the correct locations and maybe ruin some panel material in the process if you are wrong. I can't believe that LB would not give you some advice/feedback.

If LB does not cut the holes ask them if the holes are marked on the panels.
