Originality / Re: steering wheel

If I were you I would try to do it myself or find a better wheel. I have had the center section of that wheel done professionally and was not happy with the result.

Thank you very much. Do you have a suggestion for applying it? When I pulled the trunk plugs out it looked like it was applied in a bead then the plug was set into it.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a product that looks like the original cream colored sealent used to put the oval trunk/floor pans is place?
Thank you.
Thank you.

General Discussion / Re: originality or no rust, which is more important?

I have no interest at all in rusted cars. Unless the car is very rare and expensive I have to believe trying to properly restore a rusted/damaged car with good quality (GM) sheetmetal is going to be a financial loser.

Any suggestions on who to use for chemically stripping and replating a jack post and what the going price might be?
Thanks

I believe I read that Brian Henderson's product has a very short shelf llife, he mixes and he uses it. It is not practical to sell it. Any pictures around of what the Larry C. product looks like? Is special equipment needed to spray it?

All I have to compare it to is my 68 and I don't know if there are variation between the years. The photo that you have of it applied to the trunk looks too dark to me. Also on the 2 side by side pictures in the first attachment what is the difference between the 2 colors, are they different products?

KevinK. Thanks for the response. What you describe is exactly what I have. Undercoat sprayed in the inside of the quarters (and some blobs of undercoat on the trunk floor where the guy doing the spraying sort of missed the quarters). Jute padded insulation behind the rear seat back. The rubber trunk mat. And the mat is what you describe (paper backed with tar?) and located in the forward area of the trunk (where the trunk floor is on a slant to go up over the axle). The well of the trunk did not receive anything special.
Unless someone else chimes in, I am assuming my trunk is correct for a deluxe interior car as it matches what Kevin describes.
My only questions at this point is, did the the paper backed tar mat the is on the forward portion of the trunk get sprayed with spatter paint? Or was it applied to the floor after the spatter paint was applied?.
Of course any thoughts on the best product to get close to the original spatter paint would be appreciated.

Originality / 68 Trunk Restoration
« on: April 08, 2007, 09:53:00 PM »
I am restoring the trunk of my 68 that has the custom interior option. I mention that as the custom interior comes with additional body insulation, some of it is in the trunk. Can anyone describe the extra insulation that would be in the trunk so I can accurately duplicate it? The car has all original metal and unfortunately someone spray bombed the trunk.
As far as extra insulation goes the car has an asbestos? mat about 12" x 34" which sits on the floor toward the forward part of the trunk. Was the mat installed before the trunk spatter paint was sprayed or after the paint was applied? Also the insides of the quarters have what appears to be undercoating sprayed on them? I would imagine that the undercoat was applied prior to the spaying of the spatter paint. Was there any other areas in the trunk that were sprayed with any other sound deadening material?
And finally, who has the best product for getting close to the original spatter paint appearance? And yes I know that most of this will be covered up by the trunk mat..but I do try to do it correctly.
Thanks for any help you can offer

« on: March 31, 2007, 02:52:19 PM »
Since we are talking about windshields, isn't there supposed to be a "ribbon" cloth tape that goes between the glass and the adhesive strip. I have seen this on original cars, but never have I seen this on cars where the glass has been replaced or reinstalled.

I agree with what has been said about original sheetmetal being the best way to go. Anyone want to offer some sources for getting some? Thanks for the help
