Restoration / How do they shine up aluminum parts like that?????
« on: April 19, 2007, 09:47:28 PM »
Greetings...
   
   I have seen several pictures of restorations where they have assembled the engine and attached the bell housing and the tranny to the back for easier installation to the engine bay....and the aluminum muncie and bell housing are so clean and bright...especially up next to a freshly painted engine.  Does anyone know how they prep these parts so that they look good upon installation?  Is there a chemical, or is media blasting the only way to "restore" the tranny and bell housing?

Thanks,
Mike T.

Restoration / 1968 Camaro rocker panel replacement
« on: July 08, 2006, 11:37:54 PM »
Has anyone out there actually replaced the full rocker panel on a 68 Camaro (I'm sure 67 and 69 would be the same operation)?
Before you ask...I don't think the "skin" will do any good.  I have purchased both, and think that the full rocker is the proper fix.

My car's driver side rocker has cancer in the rocker panel that requires it to be replaced.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike T.

Restoration / broken fender bolt
« on: July 07, 2006, 09:58:29 PM »
Was wondering what can be done to "fix" a broken bolt on a 68 Camaro which fastened the rear part of the fender (passenger side)
to where it normally is attached under the firewall.

I have tried the normal stuff, like an easy out...but that did not work.  I have managed to drill out the bolt, but the nut that I think was attached to the body has come loose...and probably does not have thread any longer to hold the new bolt.

I assume that this is common...since the car has sat around for such a long time, and the other cars I have are in the same condition.

Hope all of this makes sense.  I just hope that someone can tell me a common (not too hard or expensive) way to fix this.

Thanks,

Mike T.
