Easy there Allen! 

I love the car as is, with the blacked out grill and the gold/silver wheelsBut what do I know? It’s your car Bill…have at it.You can always go back if you don’t like the result.

Great pics Ed!And they fit behind (and under!) the wheel!

I think that the gold wheels and a gold grill would look great.

Tom– please post pics of those swingin’ knock-off spokers. Do so wish I could get me some . . . .

Step 1 IS the final finish. Its a cleaned and shiner. Spray opn and wipe till dry and shiney.

Well…bessides my wife there is…., and…., and…(all of whom I work with). And then there’s …. Ooh decvisions, decisions, decisions. 

You may find a little info with the Google. Or take it to any cruise-in.Your engine is basically the same thing Chevy put in almost every car it made from 1955 through, I think, 1998. Durable and easy to work on, and very forgiving of newbie errors such as driving the main bearings out with a screwdriver and a hammer. Also, parts are not…[Read more]

sounda like a blast! We’ll be cruisin’ the TDs up here this Saturday–hoping for nice weather. Karen and I took Bridget apple picking at Millburn Orchards on Saturday and that was a nice ride along Rt 1 (the non-busy part) but a little bit cool on the way in and just a touch rainy on the way home. Oh well, nothing a little apple pie can’t fix!We…[Read more]

what would be good to protect the finish after applying Step 1?

That sounds like fun for someone with the time and funds.  I’m in a new job, so I’m saddled for the time to just weekends off for at least the next year.  A cruise like that sounds great!

I’ve got a pretty gal for my main accessory.  Cars may come and go, but she’s a keeper.

Easy: just drive around a while in the TD… Oh, wait. Never mind…

You should make it a new thread…with an appropriate subject line.

Love it when the solution is essentially free!
Might want to put a dab of paint on one lug stud and one hole so you don’t repeat the problem next time the wheels come off the car.

Hey Allen…where do I get that “particular accessory”?

It’s a 3-stage product. When finished you apply Stage 1 and the surface is as sooth as glass.

like the pretty girl wearing a kerchief and sun glasses but I don’t think the wife would appreciate that particular accessory. (drat!) 

 
You forgot the wicker picnic basket on the luggage rack, the plaid blanket and wine cooler behind the seats and the pretty girl wearing a kerchief and sun glasses in the passenger seat.
TDs accesorize very nicely.

Took the car in Friday to get the wheels balanced while on the car. Upon inspection getting the wheel up to speed while off the ground revealed wheel travel up and down indicating something was out of round. We pulled the wheel off and noticed the knock off hub mounted to the brake drum was off center. Unusual cause the holes are over size but the…[Read more]
