Well son of a gun. AMD told me in November that they had no plans at that time to supply that piece. Merry Christmas!

I have had success using a 2:1 ratio with a cup of salt for each gallon of vinegar. Of course it depends on what you are de-rusting. This has worked well on sheet metal, frame rails, brake drums etc. As hdwrench mentioned, it can be corrosive so you need to experiment. I will give the molasses...

Do you all really prefer molasses to a vinegar and salt solution?

Are they spot welded together?

Spoke with Kevin at AMD this morning. He said they don't carry the 3rd piece and that he doesn't see any announcement that they will soon carry that part and that it would be another year if they were planning on producing it. Sorry for the bad news.

Yes it does help, thanks. I will give AMD a call tomorrow for you. It doesn't make sense that they wouldn't carry all 3 pieces. I'll see what they say and let you know.

I haven't called them yet. Could you post more pics showing all 3 pieces?

That will be one sweet ride when it's done. Wish I had seen this before I bought my project. Good luck!

When I started my project, I had been told that no one made reproduction A-Pillars. That's why I was so excited when I saw AMD had started carrying them. I am going to give them a call and ask if they plan on carrying the third piece. If they won't our only choices would be to fabricate them...

Interesting. I haven't started working on my A-Pillar's yet, so I didn't know they consisted of 3 pieces. My hopes are dashed. Why wouldn't AMD produce all 3 pieces?

Where do you get rid of it?

I bought a set of urethane engine mounts from 440 Source. The right side fits as expected, but the bolt sleeve on the left side mount is at an angle and when installed the urethane doesn't sit flush with my K-member. Anyone ever use these from 440 source?

I'm doing a similar project. Are you saying not to use new lifters with a used cam?

I'm on that site all the time. Surprised that I didn't see it.

Thanks Dale. You've got a sweet ride!
