I used the welt on wire type and it looks good to me and has held up well. When I restored my top the aluminum mouldings were not available. I tried reusing the original but was never happy with the way it looked. I bought the aluminum mouldings but never installed them for the same reason you...

With the float a motor mounts my engine shifted far enough forward so that the engine pan bolts could not be removed. I went back to the original mounts and can't tell that the vibration is any worse without them. I will stick with the original mounts.

I did my own and I am very pleased with the way it turned out. I get a lot of compliments on it.

Really looks great

My FAM allowed the motor to shift far enough forward to prevent the removal of the front oil pan screws. I had to go back to the original. I don't feel any difference in the ride. I would not use a FAM if I were you.

Thanks guys. I will check these things out.

I have a new noise that happens only at idle. It sounds like a loud intermittent squeak. It becomes continuous when the clutch is depressed. It hasn't been long since I greased the throughout bearing. The bearing was replaced when the transmission was rebuilt 20 years ago and has very few miles...

I guess I've been extremely lucky. No damaged or lost parts using USPS. But motor freight on the other hand.......

I enjoy this sight. Thank you for making it even better. I like your rules. I was in a famous preacher's office in Frisco, TX a while back and he has a big sign behind his desk that says "Be Nice or Get Out". I liked it!

I used the Vintage Precision adapter and couldn't be happier. Great company, very quick shipping.

I got mine from Renners. Engine runs better than ever. Great product and prompt service.

Chromed repops that I have bought in the past did not hold up. Chrome started popping off and rust popped through. I have stainless steel ones 20 years now and they look new.

I live in Laurel, MS, about 25 miles off your route or maybe less if you take a slight detour. I would be glad to meet you and lend a hand if need be. PM me and I will give you my cell number. I could also help with an oil change or whatever at my house.

My switch rod had a raised area right where the lever was formed onto the round center. That was dragging on the steering wheel causing the switch to move when I turned the wheel. I filed the area under the lever until it was flush with the surrounding area and that solved the problem.

Seriously. The car really is nice looking. Have you driven it much?
