Guest Skyking Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Regarding your tire question: I went with Coker 820 X 15 US Royal 2 3/4 White Wall which was the closest I could find with the correct white wall width and a "brand name" that was available .A friend of mine bought the US Royals for his '57 Caddy convertible and there's something I couldn't understand. The tread design is not correct for the Safety 800. That design is for the Safety 8. I wonder why they did this? Copyright?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mirko 73 Posted April 30, 2015 Author Share Posted April 30, 2015 Good morning, we have made a perfect reproduction of front lens, Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan at larescorp Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 That's very impressive! Good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleach Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I'm guessing no one is reproducing the parking lamp lenses. Mirko if there is enough demand for reproduction lenses, you might be able to fund the restoration of your car by making them for others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buick5563 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I get the feeling that even if the lens is available, it isn't good enough for Mirko.That, or he just wants to do it because he can.Dude is a monster. Period. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RivNut Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 (edited) Good morning, i'm looking for a correct carburetor, 59-60 Carter afb. Can we help me?Thanks Mirko Miko, According to this website, your car uses a Carter AFB, #2840. Jon, the owner, also lists this number for sale from his inventory. Love your work and your posts. I'd say something but your work leaves me speechless. Here's the link to the Carburetor Shop in Eldon, Missouri, USA. Jon Hardgrove is the owner. He's a great guy to work with. This link is to the carburetors he's listing for sale. His contact information is on the home page. Good luck. http://www.thecarburetorshop.com/Carbsale.htm Ed Edited June 11, 2015 by RivNut (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirko 73 Posted June 11, 2015 Author Share Posted June 11, 2015 Mr Tom, if my car is fabulous is merit of his guide patience and courtesy for having responded to my every mail in which i asked her questions. I don't know if I can never thank her in person but i will always be in debt with you.Thanks Mirko. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
