fully interchangeable '69-'73 Will

Ya know, You could probably pay a competent shop(one with an owner with proper mechanical ability and reasonable judgment;)) a whole lot less to build a much better car with the same engine, put it on ebay and have just as much history-maybe more if the shell didn't spend more than 10 years in the sand...collecting dust and mystery:eek:. Will

I found that they were all the same size, if you order a new set from the dealer, that is how they come. I replaced mine with the stainless set from ZCarCreations, and they are all the same size. Will

I asked him who "the experts" were, and for the Vin... Of course, now that the car is on ebay, every one of us has heard of it. Though confusing knowledge of the car with agreement that it is valuable is just a wee bit of a stretch:stupid: Will

I sent him a couple of questions within minutes of his listing...still no answer...or clue Will

It is a combustible fluid that cleans engine internals and smokes white like you can't beileve! Will

With any luck I will have several sets at Amelia! I am just waiting on mold supplies-and they are due in on or about Wednesday of next week. I will have everything ready to pour the molds tuesday night, and within 8 hours of the supplies hitting the doorway, I should have a pair of molds for each of the two types of knobs(rounded and squared) so that I can make two pair at a time. Will

Just on the offchance, did you put seafoam in the car? Will

Esprist, I have a New Old Stock set sitting in the original boxes with the original paperwork to work from-all of the components are pictured in my gallery http://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=12162&ppuser=4106 http://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=12159&ppuser=4106 and in another thread I will locate later. I am not certain what we-this will be a team effort- will do about hardware as the original is not built to last, and is dificult to install. Using Threaded rivits would be far easier to fit, and longer lasting. I am aslo going to develop a seal kit to keep moisture and road debris out of the covered nacelle. Will

I hit Lowes and found it, and I have one from Bryan. I agree with you Bryan, yours looks and feels closer-but under the boot either will do the trick! When I remember to bring my camera back from the restoration shop correcting Larrys car, I'll take and post some side by sides. Will

For the door glass, remove the trim at the base of the window and cover the paint, The window can be polished on the car, but cover everything-tape up the rubber-the cerium oxide is worse than buffing compound to remove. Will

I put the whole thing together by searching 1) Car-parts.com Vented Toyota Calipers($30 a pair) 2) Discount auto Rebuilt lifetime garanteed Loaded vented Calipers($110 a pair-$60 core) 3) RockAuto.com Vented rotors ($40 a pair) 4) Local Dealer Maxima Brackets ($110 a pair) 5) Ebay Spacers and hardware ($65 a set) right at $275 for the whole shabang-all new/rebuilt parts Will

Jim's right, The 280 pieces have been and are easily adapted to the task-but I don't think they are available from the dealer any longer-I don't remember checking for sure. Will

Since Chloe disappeared, I don't know of anyone, but I would say CourtesyParts.com could be your best try-other than getting the club CD and ordering them from the dealer yourself. Arne posted a great guide to the emissions hoses under the hatch and floor with their "replace-ability value" and part numbers. Unless you are going for a restoration, I would suggest using thick wall silicone hoses-since they will not degrade. Will

What you describe is either known as Hard water stains-places where water has evaporated and either left calcium and other deposits behind, or actually an area etched the glass with a slightly acidic content For hard water spots, sometimes placing and holding a paper towel soaked in white Vinegar on the area will take care of the deposits(essentially the same thing as Boiler scale). I have always used the Eastwood glass polishing kit. It can handle both situations. Here is a before and after...

The Shelf wasn't restored, it was modified. As any professionally published and edited dictionary will confirm, the act of Restoration means only one thing-to put something back as it was originally. The shelves are usually filled for one of two reasons: 1) To hide a not so well done repair-as pointed out earlier-pull the panel and look at the underside-a poorly done job will show underneath with filler stalagmites, untreated rust, misaligned panels, etc. 2) To keep water and dirt from collecting in the corner by building the area up and building in an angle to direct the water (and what it may carry) away from the area. Will

Marty, They will be absolutely and completely useless from the time I embed them into a proper clay until the time I pull them from the finished mold-then they will be ready to go back in their protective hiding places, or right onto a glof medallion contender immediately before a show-no worse for the mud pack or the multi-sided soak in vacuum inspired effervescent silicone! The molding process is no more detrimental to the original part than handing it to another enthusiast who recognizes its rarity, and respects your search for it. Will

Both are on the list...and probably need to be here too! WIll

Mike, Thanks for jumping in! Ps, I am waiting on casting supplies-and so are two sets of NOS Choke/Throttle knobs! Will

Dan, It could be, Those parts were pulled from cars that had been sacrificed to the rust god decades ago... I think Chris (26thZ) could answer that from either/both of his cars. Will

I left a comment and saw Carls come up after leaving mine. "This is a beautiful car, but it has not been restored. Restored means only one thing-put back to as it was. This car is a wonderful "restomod." The owner has done a beautiful job of his modifications, and the car is gorgeous, but a car with modifications is not a restoration. This is a wonderful effort to do a very cool thing, but, please, do a little more research on the marque and model before trying to speak about it, and garner a full understanding of the terms you use so as not to dilute correct information. the opening blurb led me to believe the owner would be talking about his car...more than the host would be. William Stokes Great idea, excellent start, a few suggestions for improvement." Will

But his name is not Ron! Will DO'oh, you had to go and change your signature!!!!

I am still working on it, and thanks to MikeW have a new approach to the problem-Thanks MikeW! I have not made it up to Ohio yet to get the lenses underway, because of my committment to getting Larys car on the right track, but as soon as that is sewn up, I will get up there and progress will be post haste! Will
