  1. I have been known to take a clutch head bit with my other tools to the junkyard and grab some of screws just so I would have some on hand. Just in case! Along with other miscellaneous odds and ends that aren’t easily obtainable.
  2. Perhaps you could try your local plumbing store. I have used one here in the past for odds and ends brass fittings.
  3. World Clutch here in Knoxville has relined clutches and brake shoes for me. Sometimes even while I wait. Now that’s good old school service!
  4. Thanks Grimy! I’m sure this applies to all GM makes of similar vintage and perhaps others too.
  5. Any spark when connecting a battery cable is a concern. That’s why we always disconnect the negative cable. While uncommon a battery explosion is a real danger. Perhaps subsequent connections are not showing a visible spark, but a lesser transfer of current is still a possibility. Certainly it needs to be corrected.
  6. Try placing this in the Wanted section , not the Junkyard
  7. I was wandering through an indoor flea market/ antique mall and found this grill on a shelf. Anyone need it?
  8. JMBT, I should have mentioned this earlier in your post, if you haven’t already opened the access panels on the doors you probably should do so and at least inspect, if not remove the sound deadener that is probably now lay in the bottom of the doors instead of attached to the exterior. I also recommend using rattle can to hose down the inside of the doors afterwards. And don’t neglect inspections of the quarter panels from the trunk, they put deadener in there , too, including above the wheel well. The old deadener acts like a sponge and holds moisture. I need quarter panel repair and another door for the ‘52 Special I have due to the aforementioned deadener.
  9. It may be a little while before I get back out there.
  10. Thanks for the offer Flackmaster, but this car is a real beater project. Driver quality is all I need. And they could be rough enough that they would only be good for a paint job.
  11. I have a basket case 1940 junior series and the bezels for the headlights are missing. What else will work? Chevrolet? The car is not a candidate for restoration, just a possible driver, eventually. Years , makes?
  12. I long for the good old days around here, when the snows came we stayed home. No salt, no worries! Nearly everyone got a snow day back then.
  13. I couldn’t get out! And yes, way too much brine!
