Today I did an experiment on what a straight polishing would do to my stainless rear window trim. Couple caveats though... I did not do any repairs to the trim. Mine is pretty beat up, but going with the survivor theme a little, I did not use any sandpapers to take out deep scratches, trim anvil and...

Forgot to post up the fuel line bending, before initial start up. A little trial and error here, but easy job, just takes some tinkering to get the bends right. I have a couple different hand held cheap tube benders, but on my first go, I had a drawing laid out that had some nice clean 90 degree ben...

Looks great. A little jewelry on the girl is always a good feeling.

Had a little bit of a red letter day today. Started the car for the first time! It runs (roughly), but didn't explode, so that's good. No video, just a pic. 20240513_193501.jpg On the downside, I need to get a unisyn. I originally thought I had a driver side choke issue, but after snooping around so...

Nice! Welcome aboard!

Nice!

Welcome! I would start with the headlight switch and check the grounds.

One other easy thing that was confusing to find a straight answer to online was the body and Engine big grommets. I checked the assembly manual and it had a couple answers, but you have to jump around sections and it's not the greatest to be honest. I just may not be familiar enough with it though. ...

Haven't done much lately, lots of storms and chores. Finally got my Clarks order in though and thought I'd do a quick review on their trim insert. Overall, I'd give it a 8 of 10 maybe. Looks nice coming out of package and came in a nice box. New.jpg Up close though, there's some manufacturing blemis...

Welcome!

FWIW, I changed out my alternator to a 63a and got rid of the little red tie point going into cabin. I used a 60a maxi fuse and haven't had any issues.

Man, that trunk came out nice! Re-assembly is the fun part for me. Enjoy it buddy!

Are those the bowtie mirrors from clarks? I'm torn on using those or getting some mid-70's camaro junkyard mirrors. Someone previous already put holes in both doors.

Thanks, and I'll definitely check out Eastwood for it.

Didn't know about the yellow can Easy Off either. Now I have a new experiment to try, lol.

I jump around on projects a lot, in case you couldn't tell. If it starts getting tedious, I work on something else. Decided to try my hand at polishing the rear window today. Came out much improved from before, but I rushed it a bit I think. At least I know my glass is usable, albeit a little scratc...

Finally got around to a pic of the lower grill installed. Matches up...kind of. Use a size oversized on the sheetmetal screws. At least I needed to. I started by loosely putting on the lower side screws, then tilting it up like a hinge. It's a PITA trying to see and line up the holes and then fit a ...

Welcome!
