1961 Mercury Meteor 800 restore
pacerman replied to Laughing Coyote's topic in Our Cars & Restoration Projects
I think the 62 model year would already have started by October of 61. I think the plant shutdowns for model changeover were typically in August. Your paint looks good. A little orange peel will make is look more authentic. -
1960 Pontiac Bonneville (Maude)
pacerman replied to AURktman's topic in The Unrestored Car Appreciation Forum
A vendor named Booster Dewey can rebuild you brake booster I believe. Hemmings Motor News will have lists of vendors who can perform the services you seek. Good luck with it. Joe -
1956 Ford Thunderbird
pacerman replied to 1956 Ford Thunderbird's topic in Our Cars & Restoration Projects
Just search on Ebay. There appear to be lots of small manufacturers and many of them are priced similarly at less than $100 complete with casters. I bought two a few years ago from a maker in Missouri but I cannot recall his name, for my AMC V8 engines. Or google engine cradles and search on images for one that looks good to you. Joe -
What an old Buick Skylark unrestored is worth
pacerman replied to Toolmaker870's topic in Automobiles and Parts - Buy/Sell
Anywhere from $500 to $2500 depending on how bad you want it. If you can see yourself in it, running and driving, make the seller an offer. Cars are personal, unless you are a dealer. Joe -

Thanks, I will check out the SPI products. -
1927 Studebaker Unfinished Project / Project
pacerman replied to danoz's topic in Our Cars & Restoration Projects
They are looking good but I was in my local PPG paint and body supplies store a few years ago while in the midst of patching the rear quarters on a Rambler. I told the guy at the counter that I was trying to block sand epoxy primer on the repair (PPG DPLF 50 to be exact) and the guy at the counter and two other customers in the store said almost in unison: You are not supposed to block sand epoxy primer. So what sandpaper are you using? Wet sanding? -
32' Oldsmobile Deluxe Convertible Roadster
pacerman replied to chistech's topic in Our Cars & Restoration Projects
That is really nice work. -
With a full reading on the gauge you might have an inadvertent ground somewhere in the system, not a bad or disconnected ground.

Looks like a lot of fun.

You're gonna be thinking about that car while you try to fall asleep each night, I think.

Metro Molded parts has a pretty extensive catalog of various types of weatherstripping, with many of the profiles shown along with dimensions. You can order a printed catalog from their website or browse profiles online. Joe

I think that is supposed to be a "1" but was mis-struck. See http://www.tpocr.com/buickvin1.html for decoding your VIN. Joe

1960 61 62 Rambler 196 automatic
pacerman replied to Ovalrace25's topic in American Motors (AMC), Nash, & Rambler
If you google, The AMC Forum you can join that group. There are several people on the forum who will gladly help answer your questons. I do have several older Ramblers but I do not have one with the automatic transmission feature you describe. Joe -
65 american fuel tank substitute!
pacerman replied to Bignosepicker55's topic in American Motors (AMC), Nash, & Rambler
I have also used a 65 Mustang tank on a 65 Rambler American. Yep, it works, but some modifications are needed as you mentioned. -
Perhaps the quoted reference was to lye, but electrolysis is usually done with washing soda ( sodium carbonate). The lye might have been useful for parts where all of the oil and grease had not yet been removed.

Progress Report on my Renault Ondine in Bolivia
pacerman replied to Richard1's topic in Our Cars & Restoration Projects
Your before and after pictures are always a delight. -
please ask Greg how much horsepower and torque was generated by the OX-5?
-
I thought you could order rings like that from Egge Machine, just by giving them the ring sizes.

It is June, Jon but you are forgiven. The Cub Cadet hardly looks used.

Need help installing a transmission
pacerman replied to Dennis Jones's topic in Our Cars & Restoration Projects
Just be sure the modified bolts are not long enough to collide with any protrusion(s) on the sides of the transmission or shifter parts (if it has a side shifter). I made that mistake in the past. -
ME & MY === 1958 Buick, 1958 Buick, 1958 Buick and……..
pacerman replied to dei's topic in Me and My Buick
You parked next to an AMC Pacer too. That helped to draw a crowd. LOL (I'm an AMC fan). -
.030 gap sounds excessive for the points. More like .016. If you are talking about the gap between the rotor end and the cap brass, I don't know what that should be. Joe

pacerman replied to V8TV's topic in Our Cars & Restoration Projects
Used glass would be a big mistake on that car. Looks great. Joe
