Not possible.

You have to use fabric paint, if you are painting over carpet! LOL

Nice work!

When properly done, the USCT ones almost look factory. IMO.

I used a set of U.S. CarTool weld-in connectors on my '64 Polara. They are contoured to the car's floorpan. They get welded at the ends to your car's existing subframes and to the floors. This makes your floors part of the stiffening process. I got mine at Mancini's for about $200.

I had the '64 Polara 500 convertible I restored trapped in paint jail for about a year and a half. I had done my due diligence by inspecting this guy's shop before committing to having him do the work. At the time, this shop was completing a 1968 Camaro project for a GM engineer from Detroit. He...

Ten years! You must be a Saint, not to have wrung his neck by now. Good luck with the paint job. I don't know too many painters around my area that will put their paint work over someone else's body work.

My guy never asked me for any $$$ up front. He came down to my place with his truck and trailer, looked my project over, and said he would do it. He said he would not put an estimate on it, because there are always hidden surprises with any old car project. He told me his hourly rate, and would...

Get a spray can of Rust Check or Krown rust inhibitor, and soak it down from the back side. It won't stop it, but will slow it down. I spray this stuff inside my doors before putting the door cards back on. Another good spot to spray is the outside edges of rear wheel well tubs from inside the...

Have you got a fibreglass 6-pack type hood, or regular steel hood (bonnet)?

I know Sherman's stuff is pretty rowdy, but there is nothing else out there.

I am in the village of Copenhagen, southeast of London, down near Lake Erie.

I did mine with Krylon satin black and a small paint brush. I just spray some out in the cap, and go at it with a hobby brush. You can also use those little Testors or Tamiya bottles from your local hobby shop. You can clean up any paint slops on the high spots of the casting with paint...

Thanks, Jerry. I stand corrected. Just points out there is still room for us "know-it-alls" to learn something new. LOL

I think the corners of the hoods are different. Single headlight versus double headlight. I have been corrected on this. Hood corners are the same.

This would likely be fairly rare, because consumers and the industry were moving away from 2-tone paint trim, in favour of vinyl tops. Chrysler did not keep track of production numbers by colour.

A lot of paint suppliers have a laser gun that can scan the paint you need matched and can come up with a formula for it.

When I restored my 1964 Polara 500, this is a job I left to the professionals. If installed poorly, it will look like crap forever. These guys have the tools and skills to make the top look correct.

I agree; pot metal, like tail light bezels. etc. When I bought my 1964 Polara in 1980, it had a placque on the trunk lid advertising that it was sold by McManus Motors of London, Ontario. This pot metal sign was pretty crusty, so when the car was first painted in the early '80's, I tossed it. At...

Proper adjustment of the rubber bump stops will level the hood.
