CUL8R Posted March 16, 2021 Posted March 16, 2021 Agree with you on the Vinyl roofs, never been a fan but on those late 60's, early 70's muscle cars they're starting to grow on me 1 Quote

CUL8R Posted March 24, 2021 Posted March 24, 2021 Who are you using to do the Blasting? Blaine @ Fast Blast is a GC and would happily sort a sharp price and blast where you want Quote
Mr Vapour Posted March 24, 2021 Posted March 24, 2021 Give bare steel a call also. He primarily blasts cars and is an American car fan. Quote
Mr.Mk1 Posted March 26, 2021 Posted March 26, 2021 Allan at Bare steel, I’ve known his son for yonks and he’s not far away from here. Quote
RUNAMUCK Posted April 7, 2021 Author Posted April 7, 2021 Speaking of the front seal/torque converter seal, Hows the neck of the converter look? It's not uncommon for them to groove out too. Quote
dabuzz Posted April 7, 2021 Posted April 7, 2021 man this project is huge - Looking forward to seeing the body resurrection updates, its all way above my skill level, so its going to be cool seeing/learning about the body work as it progresses 1 Quote
piazzanoob Posted April 8, 2021 Posted April 8, 2021 the easiest way ive found to do selector seals on 727 or 904 trans is to pull pan and valve body out and put new seal in then the seal is fitted square. but this is how its done with trans in car. nice progress looking forward to the end result 1 Quote

The waiting part is inevitable but the more parts I clean up and paint in the mean-time, the more I gag to put them back on the car and feel some sense of achievement, lol! havent really dialled-in how I’ll be suspending it while doing repairs cause there won’t be shit left to rest stands/hoist pads. future problem 1 Quote
RUNAMUCK Posted April 8, 2021 Author Posted April 8, 2021 I saw a graveyard cars video where they built a huge steel jig as long as the car. Quote

RUNAMUCK Posted April 10, 2021 Author Posted April 10, 2021 Theres actually a thing called a seal saver for those shifter seals. It's something like a disc which prevents the shifter body moving ecentricly and the seal losing contact. *so I heard, second hand. Quote

anglia4 Posted May 10, 2021 Posted May 10, 2021 Fuck a duck. How much car are you expecting to get back from the blasters?! I'm super impressed that you don't seem to see any of that as a big deal. Its a very cool car to be saving. Quote

Smaller than my palm? I said don’t bother touching the crusty bits or surrounding areas as that’s going to end up on the cutting room floor anyway 1 Quote
JustHarry Posted May 10, 2021 Posted May 10, 2021 I imagine you will be able to buy almost every part you need to repair for this? That will make the job 11ty billion times quicker and easier. Especially with large and involved repairs Talking from experience in the matter 2 Quote
