I have a 53 zwitter. Pretty much a shell but I would like to guilt it into a daily type driver. It is by no means correct. its a 53 on a 63 pan.

I seached the forums for about an hour trying to find the answer to my question but didnt have any luck so please dont execute me.

I know the zwitter has a trimless ashtray that is very hard to find and i most likely wont find one but will a regular old oval window ashtray fit in the slot of a zwitter ash tray? Also will an oval glove bow door fit on the zwitter?

A later ashtray can be modified to fit the hole until you find the correct one.
