As a matter of fact, my 69 has a tag on the front that says "My Addiction". It's not wrong!

General Discussion / 1969 Bumper Jack Color
« on: July 16, 2017, 06:36:26 AM »
Howdy all. I've read the 3 year old bumper jack posts, but didn't see my question answered there, although the question about the gray on the base and hook are answered.
Can anyone tell me the correct color of the mast itself - I saw it listed as silver cadmium in that thread (and that looks right by my memory), so can anyone suggest an off the shelf color that would be right or at least close??
My car isn't a concours car - though it's an original car with a 19 year old paint job (in lacquer and orig LeMans Blue), and I'm the original owner.
Thanks in advance!

Glad I finally saw a good pic your 'Maro, George. Looks fantastic!! Glad to hear you'll make it to the 'nats - we had to cancel at the last moment. 
Also, if ya need a pic of that shroud screw head, let me know. Be glad to take one for ya - unfortunately, it'll be around the end of the week before I can get home.
Y'all take care,
Mike.

Howdy Sauron327. Can't thank you enuff for this HUGE gift!! Unfortunately, I have no connections whatsoever with any jobbers or paint shops any more. I'll need both paint and primer. How do we go about this? Would you prefer to do this by PM or email?
This paint is not original (15 years old), and does have clear - can't remember what the brand is though.
Thanks again,
Mike.

Restoration / Lacquer question
« on: June 14, 2014, 09:48:05 PM »
Howdy all. Got a paint question about my darlin's LeMans Blue lacquer. I seem to have acquired several scratches, along with a few bad chips (down to metal 
). It lives in the garage under a good cover, and I've put a good coat of wax on the chips, but I badly need to cover those chips with paint and seal the metal, so can anything else be used to touch it up besides lacquer?? I've had zero luck (other than bad) finding any lacquer touch up paint anywhere. What about acrylic urethane? Then, of course, there's the issue of primer to cover the bare metal?

"As I understand it, the reason for the A/C muffler is to attenuate the pressure pulses on the discharge side. If so, what might happen without it in place - could it damage the system? Thanks in advance."

Thanks KurtS. Definitely gonna do some digging as soon as I can.

Thanks Kurt! Still not convinced, but y'all have planted a seed of doubt here 
Looks like I'll be checking the hoses out for numbers VERY carefully 
I'll get back to y'all!

Thanks George. I'll check the hoses as soon as I can.
In the meantime, does anyone else have any ideas why there isn't an A/C muffler? Gotta get this mystery figured out
.
I'll also take a pic of the bolt for ya. Should I post the pic in the thread, or email it to ya? Looks like we might have to exchange more info.

Thanks George. Not sure what to tell ya here. Build was 11A, that could explain the hoses. They still have the original insulators on them. Is there another way to verify the hoses?

Originality / A/C compressor/muffler mystery
« on: May 25, 2014, 03:38:08 AM »
Been reading up on my A/C compressor/muffler, and can't find any reference to a system without a muffler . AIM shows one, and I've seen 'em on others. Don't remember seeing a system without one - doesn't mean they aren't out there, though.. Anyone got a clue why the muffler wouldn't be there? I'm not aware of anything being replaced in the past (brain cramp?). There IS a slight possibility that my mom might have had something done to the A/C when I was letting her use it while I was working out of state and she didn't inform me (she was having memory problems ). Other than that, can anyone shed any light on this mystery? 11A build; 327/210; PG; PS.
