I’m finishing up my 1971 g.m.c.,I want to polish the mldgs but that anodizing is tough,anything you all recommend to remove the anodizing, Dave

Just make sure you wear gloves dust mask or respirator and above all safety glasses, Goodluck

Does anyone know of something that will take the anodizing off of mldgs,I repainted my 1971 gmc pickup and don’t want to put the mldgs back on without polishing them,I’m just going to polish the mldgs the mldgs not re anodize them, Thanks Dave

There are a lot of dark greens in fleet,when the paint was originally mixed it was probably taken from a fleet chart

P.p.g. Has what they call a fleet chart you should be able to match from there

I believe the paint failure is caused from putting a urethane paint over lacquer primer,it doesn’t play well together

Hello all. Try looking for devaux parts,a lot of people haven’t even heard of it,in all the years of going to the swap meets I’ve found a couple of hubcaps a no’s coil and that’s it, I have bought some parts from a friend parting one out,I’ve looked for a parts car for years with no luck, Dave

I myself like early cars,brass cars,20s cars 30s care I believe most interest on this site is pre w w2 or maybe it’s just me my ,thinking,if you want a street rod that’s your business but I think your better suited for the h.a.m. b. ,the aaca tome is about preserving , Justdave

Looks right for my 27 moon roadster,where is it located, thanks dave

Matt I do believe you getting sinicle, I think you need a vacation away from cars business and people you can’t satisfy,take a deep breath and relax,your wife and kids don’t need dad getting sick, Dave

Let me see it’s still in the car,I’ll see if I can get it out and find a number,thanks for taking the time and looking this up, Dave

Yes John it’s for the devaux,as usual not much info on the devaux,I’ve got a similiarmanual that has devaux but all it says is lock type,I have two 31 devauxs and a 32,but only one has the original switch,the 31 I’m working on has been a project for a gentleman up north since 1969,when he passed away the family sold it to the guy I bought it from and you can guess he picked up the car but didn’t get allot of the small parts,I think he missed a box of small parts and that’s what I’m looking for now,the ignition switch,the w ind shield wiper motor arm and blade,the side mount hardware and the list goes on,every time I look for something it’s missing,funny thing is I found the radiator shell devaux emblem and even the crank hole overs,just random stuff is missing,thanks for looking. Dave

Is there anyone that deals in clum ignition switches,or has a clum catalog showing different cars using the same switch will gladly by a catalog for the info,trying to find ignition switch

Joe I’m just asking not second guessing you’ve probably forgot more than I’ll ever know,can you use needle rollers in the main bearing shells instead of Babbitt and in the rods, Dave

Still looking for parts or parts car,let me know what you have, Dave

I would except she’s lived and raised her family in that house.years ago my wife and I bought a Newhouse about a mile or so from this one so the oldest daughter and her family moves in this one they are to keep the house up and make the payment,the wife and I talk about moving to Tennessee,,at that time my wife’s health is failing real bad,just asthingscantget any worse my youngest daughters partner,soulmate husband what ever you call it gets killed in a motorcycle accident,at that time my youngest and her disabled 3 year old daughter move back in,at that time my partner moves away and wants the business sold,well the business was sold with a small down and monthly payments,at that time I receive some sma. Payments but I’m unemployed and have lost my medical ins,a year later the wife is getting more and more frail when the guy buying the business up and dies at 42 years old, after several months of fighting I end up losing the house,at that time I sell my restored cars and motorcycles and move to an apartment.after a year my youngest decides to move out on her own,at that time my wife is pretty frail. So my oldest daughter asks us to move in so she could spend her last days with her,after about a year my wife passed away in August 2017.so here I am once on top of the world now just a pauper,,but I wouldn’t trade one bad time for one less day with my wife, Dave
