Door Sill Plates


Saw an address on a forum last week for a place that makes reproduction door sills. Mine are corroded and need to be replaced, but good used ones are impossible to find, so I called the place yesterday. The owner wasn’t there, but his friendly, chatty mother answered the phone and explained the business. It’s essentially a one man operation and the owner hand-makes everything. He’s been doing it for 36 years, so this is no fly-by-night business. There is no website as he doesn’t want to advertise his business by more than word-of-mouth.
Obviously, most of his work is for cars not supported by the aftermarket. He’s done lots of Mopars, including the Chrysler Museum, so that should speak to the quality.
Since everything is handmade, delivery times vary widely. She said orders can take from a few weeks to many months. After checking with him later, she said he has some ‘55/’56 Plymouth sills scheduled and that he should be working that batch in 2-3 months. My sills are priced at $275 a set, with a $50 deposit, and no credit cards accepted.
