    To tint, or not to tint, that is the question

    There must be some difference with solar gain due to the glass being almost vertical. I also agree with Speedbird on body color. Mike

    Front Bumper Lateral Adjustment?

    Plasma cutters work great for this sort of hole work. I like to make a template with 3/4 wood to get the size I need. Mike

    Purchase a 20' length of 2x2x? and have enough for 2 cars for less money. Cut them into the floor and incorporate the floor into the structure for more rigidity. Mike

    1965 Satellite rocker chrome clips

    That design clip is also used to hold the top trim clips on over the windshield. Needle nose pliers will work. They are a one use design, in my opinion. On my 65 I straightened out the folds and drilled a hole in the center. Then used thread inserts and screws to retain the clips. I just dawned...

    Vinyl top install?

    Maybe some graphics would trip your trigger? I bet a well designed wrap could achieve the look you desire. Mike

    Heat Shrink End Cap for Door Switch?

    As stated above, all the jamb switches I have ever seen were bare but, a rubber cap/covering would be easier on the paint. Mike

    Heat Shrink End Cap for Door Switch?

    As an alternative idea, I have found that the liquid rubber that comes in a can (marketed as a coating for pliers handles) works well for plug wire holders (on bare steel), recoating on valve cover wire clips, hood latch handles, window glass stops, etc. Mike

    Inner Fender Needed?

    On the other hand, my 65 had left fender damage (filled with bondo) that pushed the entire fender assembly rearward. I did not think it was bad and replaced the inner due to battery caused rust. Also got a replacement fender. Had major bodywork done at a reputable shop but, nothing was "bolted...

    Roof Rail Weatherstrip

    My 65 used round head Phillips drive sheet metal screws, about 3/8-1/2" in length. About #8 size-try a known size in the screw holes to confirm. Mike

    Why Do We Have So Many Front Cowl and Trunk Waterleaks?

    I used many cans of this on my Belvedere and Coronet. Each can comes with the long tubing so, I spliced 3 tubes together and using my x-ray vision, sprayed the hell out every nook and cranny. It even creeps into flat, skin welded to skin, sheet metal. It was running out of joints everywhere! Mike

    Why Do We Have So Many Front Cowl and Trunk Waterleaks?

    When I repaired the cowl on my 65 Belvedere I completely removed the panel to weld in the inner and outer patch panels. When it was assembly time I used weld thru primer on the under side of the outer panel and completely covered the top of the inner panel with fiberglass mat and resin, filling...

    Why Do We Have So Many Front Cowl and Trunk Waterleaks?

    All cars, even today, are a product constructed to sell and "make money". Don't you think a pickup truck box could be designed to not rust out around the fender opening? Mike

    74 Charger: are new repro $499 bumpers worth the money? Or is rechroming the way to go?

    Lots of variables here. Have you priced rechroming? What will shipping cost? Quality? Warrantee? Time factor? Mike
