Piping

Had a retired GM pro do the seats- he even fixed the springs and bolstered the driver's seat for me. Need to see 'em in person to catch the red outlining (can't think of the word). I threw her together; had to learn metal work and polishing on the grill inserts- rest was elbow grease and lucky...

Not to highjack your thread-

Sorry back- that post I replied to was from 2016! Gen2cudas- bought your cruise control way back when- and was re-reading your thread- you mentioned replacing your cruise control specific speedometer cable with aftermarket- and wondered if I was still around. We need to compare notes. I...

QUOTE="Teeth & Tires, post: 1971260100, member: 29147"]I already have a trunk seal - just haven't installed it yet and hell if I can tell you the brand. I took it out of the bag and tossed the bag a long time ago. I do have a tube of proper weather strip adhesive to install it with, tho...

Sis ribbed. I Have a nice 318 that would be awesome as heck with a Paxton blower on it. Darned spell anticipator........lol.

Then, on to the buffers. Grey stick compound to cut a bit more metal and to polish; white to remove the scratches and polish more. Also have red rouge if I get ambitious. These are intended as driver quality, but: it is so hard to hang rough parts on the car without at least making the...

Mothers. No need to say more.

I intend to repaint the argent silver inside piece, and the black stripe that is in the lowered portion of the surround. Here are the previously mentioned attachment studs:

Getting there. Getting there. You can see the camera lense in the metal.

If you look real close, you can pick out part of the dents that need to be worked into "peaks".

I am starting with dent straightening: I take the piece, turn it so that the backside of the surround is accessible, place the front side of that portion in a dished out piece of wood corner trim, secure the piece to be wacked on with furniture clamps, then use a light hammer and oaken tools to...

This is some of my parts in their :before" shape:

This is a pair of 3/4 hp 2800 rpm capable drills mounted on a metal stand- all courtesy of our old friend Harbor Freight. I really dislike buying Chinese, but darn it is sure convenient and price friendly. The two drills are mounted with wood blocks between and under to level them- then a...

I have picked out the best of the grille inserts that I have been able to stockpile; I have selected the right side original primarily because it is in fair shape- and it still has the studs in fine shape on all sides. This is my version of a buffer:

Bump

Inbound to Austin in Red on a Friday night, early 80's with my brother and our dates. Just reaching the upper/lower deck split by UT and see that the upper deck is closed with an Austin PD cruiser parked on the highway in the fast lane leading to the upper lanes, lights on and the officer...

Bump

Yes Sir, that is indeed a T-bird, resto style. Actually built on a Jag chassis. . .just makes the parts cheaper to say "Ford". Unfortunately, Mopar's answer to a -Bird is a Viper. . .a little too pricey.

1997 Lincoln Mark VIII; chipped to 300, now full Sport suspension, Morimoto HID to replace the old ones, a number of other improvements. . .

My garage on a Thursday evening.

Spent a lot of my time trying to clean the best of two pair of hood inserts with a Dremel and rouge. . . . . .and getting the headlight buckets un-rusted.

Evening everyone. Had a few days off but had to get on a couple of other chores. Chore #1 was a oil change, brake disc check and rotate tires for Mrs. Gen2cudas ride. . .

Thanks guys. The kind words from you mean much. Out for 6, but back soon to finish the front. The nose and pass fender will have to be drilled for the letters and emblems that go on there (different year metal). The headlight bezels will be the hardest to massage into shape; the front end...

Thanks Swede! Love yours too!

Thank you Sir. This car was what kept me sane as a young man, growing up worrying foolishly and needlessly about life and love (or lack thereof). My intent with the post was to make some of the guys and gals here think. Hey, get help, buy it done if you have to and can afford it before you...

There is the "Header Tube". . . The work bench, more interior parts, the '67 vert that belongs to my daughter. . .

Weird work arounds: I got rid of the old exhaust system in 2009, figuring to put on TTI. . .when we got ready to put the engine in and prepared to fire it up, we had nothing to direct the exhaust away from the starter and wiring. . . . . .so, I built short tubes out of flex piping. . .if you...

Wheel well mouldings I have been sitting on since 2010; finally installed. You will notice the rear chrome, bumper and the back up lights are, well, original. Not in bad shape, useable driver stuff. My Son and I talked it over and decided to get this Girl back on the road now rather than...
