Thanks Vila I did some more digging and basf brand has a dealer in town and they had a sample that is so close that i am going with that. Im painting the front clip and if it does not match I will continue on the rest of the car. it was painted in 1988 with base clear so it will be an easy repaint as there is very little repair. Happy motoring

Does anyone have the formula for Toronto blue #217 in modern single stage. I have hit a dead end with ditzler and dupont ,ppg. Im in Canada so no shipping from U.S. Thank Kevin

What car do you have ? I have some doors from a model 130 4 door, early 1928 before they stretched the body. Where do you live?

I like what you did . Im the same way to save a buck, but also the satisfaction of it. When people come up to you and say did you do that. It is very hard not to smile and puff the chest a little bit and proudly say yes I did. Keep up the good work.Kevin

looks awesome we will see you in Detroit.

now we know where all the hard to find hood ornaments go. ahahaha

Thanks for your input. I think I have found a very nice 20 foot with the 9900# rating. I think last year I had told everyone I was going to drive my 28 vic 6 sedan to Detroit meet. Well not to be . I will be trailering. The marriage will last longer that way. I do get my way sometimes. Im going to get a trailer out of the deal which I have wanted for a while. It is the car that is all important right?

Im looking at buying a enclosed car trailer. 20' or 24'? Give me your thoughts on this. We will be driving 2400 miles to the meet in Detroit next year . Yes I know bigger is better or is it.

Keep it stock it will turn heads. I put a rhode island harness with turn signals built into it about 150.00 extra. Just follow all the tags and drawing they send great job. I also put a 3rd brake and turn signal unit in the back window. I like the safety factor. there are a lot of idiots out there. I was at a show 2 weeks ago and there was a 31 nash that was all original It was really cool to see that car like that.you will have a good time with this car. My 28 vic6 4 dr love it.

Acklands grainger industrial supply or other company usually have catalogs with lots of different sizes

Hi guys I call our car at times the ice cream car because it just can't drive by the Dairy Queen. we drive our DB all the time. Our local group id great we like to tour. today we called it the fall colours tour. there were only three cars but what the heck it was great. We had a 20 yr old and a17 yr old driving today so lets get thme interested. we go on 1000 mile tours as well over 7 days each spring. Did a 400 mile tour and a overnight in July. I did 2 car shows and 2 parades this year as this is the first year I have had the car finished after 6 year resto. I do also like the car as a people magnet in the parking lots of the grocery stores or gas stations. You can visit and talk about the history and hopefully get them interested in the hobby. Today we stopped for lunch after the tour. Our friends where there with there parents 53rd wedding anniversary. I took them for a little spin. I was traveling on a main street at 30 mph and this guy pulls out from a stop sign and hits me in the back left fender with his jacked up full size 4x4. His big steel bumper opened up my fender like a can opener . Every body is ok but poor MIss Vicky now has a war wound. I was not pleased of course but I though there was going to be more damage. Now will i still drive our lovely car ? You bet we will. We are planning on driving to Detroit in 2014 - 2500miles one way. It is the journey not the destination. Happy motoring Kevin

Hi Ray On my 28 victory I have the Stewart vac tank. I had a few issues with the float sinking. I had the por 15 tank sealer left over from my tank( which worked great) The float fits just in side the litre can and I dipped that in and It has been good now for about 3 months. We have pulled some good hills in B.C. going from 1800 ft to 4500 ft . over 50 miles. I did get some vapour lock on the last long hill but it was 29c and it was a 5 mile long climb. As soon as we went down the other side it ran good again. I was in third most of the time but a few times into second. Went for a fall tour today for about an hours drive it was amazing all the colours. Good luck on the tank. They do work well. Kevin

I did RI and it fit like a glove. I had them put in the turn signals as well and again works great. that is all on my 28 victory 6 sedan.

This is a mural that has been painted in our town. We now have 10. They really look good and spruce up the buildings. Thought I would share this with all of you car nuts. Kevin

Hi L Taylor I bought mine from Meyers early dodge parts. the front ones worked fine. The rear ones broke when my latch did not hold the door closed and it slamed into my fender while driving down the street. Big tears but big boys don,t cry the make ther own strap. What I use was a belting material that I got from a plywood plant. It is very strong and I no it will not break. So you may find some in your area from some sort of factory. Kevin
