69s were torch cut. 67 and 68 were punched with a reinforcement ring spot welded underneath.The factory used a torch to cutout the 4 speed transmission hole in the floorpan
Again, no.
The original trim was aluminum with Bright-Dip anodizing. Very few shops will do the Bright-Dip for hobbyists. As always, it depends on how much you want it to look original and how much you want to pay. Some try to polish and then clear coat it. The results are nice, but not original looking IMO. Dennis Barnett Classic Molding Restoration did mine but not sure he still does it. Be prepared for $$ and over a year wait time.Negative. The moldings the OP is referring to are stainless with flash chrome. Other moldings on the car are aluminum. Plenty of palces restore it. I've polished my own after dent removal. Now I have customers send it out.
The carpet and interior both look blue to me. Look at the trans tunnel carpet in front of rear seat.The pics and ad we were referring to are gone. Thread is six years old.
I just read the PM. I usually get email notifications about PMs but perhaps the settings changed.Some of the newer strippers are junk. They reformulated the Klean Strip brand to a better aggressive version and it was great like the old stuff. Then certain states like CT stopped selling it. And this is at a jobber where shops like myself buy it. Someone I know got another brand at HD that worked well but I don't recall the name. I may have been Rustoleum's new formula which I've tried and it was "OK". It shouln't hurt the 'glass like it can to bumper covers which hobby people rarely have to contend with. Common sense dictates to try it first. It helps if you abrade the paint with coarse grit before application. Disappointing strippers are no fun.
Hi Sauron, I went with Uscrichter's suggestion and the Aircraft Stripper did not do much to the bottom of the spoiler. So now I think I will try hitting it with a coarse grit and then a coat of stripper. I tried messaging you on a paint question but it does not appear my question sent? I will try messaging you again for your advice. Thanks , Jon
Alright, as this post is right up my alley, for the same reasons. The number 1 gripe in the whole of my restoration is of course the Master cyl, purchased 1 from a major Camaro Vendor, came to me in El naturale and now is the sore spot for me every time open the hood, for show at car shows, Dag gum it surface rust already. So I’m open to suggestions as to remedy this on the car. To dam old for removal and cleaning. Do got a question, can I use a rust prohibitive as a primer, then good semi black cover coat? Thanks, all here!Clean the rust off, epoxy and topcoat it. I've done them neatly on the car. I stock auto paint, but you can use a quality primer and paint and it will be fine.
