Re: [Chrysler300] 300F puzzler

["Gary Holm" <gholm@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

300 Group;  When I rebuilt my G 's dash, I was having it powder coated and they called to say the process melted the lead out of the ashtray area and needed a fix.  My body guy was good enough tho fill it by welding it and brazing.  I did not even think of the lead melting when heating the  powder coating.  Gary with a big G

  It is the ashtray for the non-300 Chryslers. The dash used is the stock dash
  from the other Chryslers and modified for the 300 letter car. Since the
  ashtray in the 300F was in the console over the trans hump, it was not
  needed in the dash and had to be filled in to look right. The '61 is the
  same way, and I believe the '62 as well. 

  I can still see the factory sanding marks in the fill plate on mine, as my
  dash has never been repainted.

  Took the dash out of the car today for painting and general cleaning up. On
  the lower dash directly below the radio there was a door that had been
  welded shut and the seams were filled and painted. Once the dash was out
  and we looked at the backside the opening and door looked original and not
  cut in. I looked at a load of interior pics on the net and they were no
  help. Anybody know what this might have been? Thanks in advance
