Hi Everyone,

The trunk is just about done. Just waiting on the lid jack instruction sticker.

Trunk is nicely detailed

[usraptor]

Very well done.       Do you restore the tire inflation bottle or buy a repo?

[IRON MAN]

x6. Nice job! The trunk/deck lid lies nice and flat. What brand trunk seal did you install?

[HEMICUDA]

You trunk looks great.  There is another reproduction bottle available that is much closer to original than the one you have.  Neither on is exact.

Hi,

The can I have is full, I'd rather try and find the can label and replace it. The mat I picked up from REM.

Thanks

Hi,

This is an original replacement bottle that you would have bought to replace the factory one that came in your new vehicle. It is full and weighs more than 1.5 lbs. Has original three knurl impression on bottom, that was formed during the manufacturing process.

Did someone tell you that is a Chrysler factory replacement?  I don't think so, it's a bottle from "who knows where" with a reproduction label put on it.  I was just pointing you in the direction of a bottle that looks way closer to correct.  If you're looking for a functional bottle so you can inflate your very expensive space saver tire and ruin it, there you go.

Hi,

I was told this is an actual replacement bottle from the 70s, why do you believe it is not an actual replacement bottle and a fake?. As far as swapping the can for the correct sticker, I'm not going to do it, as you also point out... That label not 100% correct either, so why change to an empty can with an incorrect label when I have a full can with an incorrect label.

The number one question I hear at car shows (some from the JUDGES) is this "Is that can full", I can now say yes it is. As far as filling the tire and using it, "I WOULD NEVER USE THAT CAN" nor would I "EVER" drive on that tire, so "NOTHING" is going to get ruined.

Anything happens to my baby when I'm on the road I'll be calling a flatbed tow truck for her return home.

Thanks for the advice.
