I spent the afternoon at the local paint stores looking to aproximate the yellow and brown of Bronson and Seal. Not much luck. Anybody here know of a realistic source of basecoat paint that can come close to those colors of paint? The old standbys of perusing paint chips and finding formulas...

After 30 years of collecting and procrastination I am nearing the paint phase of restoring the yellow car. Amazingly, there is not much available for the detail of how the 68C (Bronson and Seal) is painted. MOst of the available photos are lacking the detail of how the yellow and brown are...

Since the folks in Hot Springs have retired, I do not know of anyone within driving distance to put my upholstery and interior together. I don't want to turn my Labaron Bonnie kits over to just anybody. Anybody out there know of a worthy source of upholstery services within driving distance of...

I've been working on several vacuum wipers recently. Time to give them a test and tweak. Anybody have a suggestion for a cost effective vacuum source at my work bench?

Does anybody here recall the business in Hot Springs Arkansas that did upholstery work? I took my pickup to them and they did a terrific job. I'm getting close to needing their assistance with installing my upholstery and top kits for my cabriolet. I can't find the contact information and I...

The suppliers have been indicating that the BASCO key blanks for 30-31 round speedo setups (A-11582-C) are out of stock. Earlier this year some of the suppliers were estimating when the new supply would be received but currently they just indicate out of stock. Did the shipments arrive and...

Over the years I've seen several variations of paint colors for KR Wilson tools. Rust, Red and Battleship Gray seem to be the dominant colors. Anyone here want to weigh in on what these tools looked like originally? I am making a project out of cleaning up some of my rusty collection.

Looking for your stash of Distributor rotors. The new ones are just overpriced. Looking to buy that dozen of NORS filco's or similar gathering. Please let me know what you have.

Over the years, I've accumulated a pile of distributor plates that to some degree the fiber insulator plate has dissapeared or has become damaged. Anybody here know whether these are reproduced? I have some very nice plates that just need a bit of TLC to be redeployed. MRR

I have a bucket full of parts that need to be plated. In case you're interested, upper and lower distributor plates, misc and sundry Zenith parts etc. Anybody know of a plater that will do the deed via mail or UPS? None of the locals here in Oklahoma seem to be interested in assisting.

Now that many suppliers are out of stock or indicate they cannot mail/ship cans of spray paint, is there a brand of paint available on a local basis that matches up with what we used to have readily available? Is there a known brand (say Krylon) that has a color code available that matches...

Looking for your reasonably priced pile-o-distributor castings and spare parts.

Does anyone here know of a source for the electrical connection for lower distributor plate wires? I have bushels of wire in my shop and it seems that making up a new connecting wires between the lower and upper plate would be a cost effective project. My "heat of the summer" project this year...

Are there any fool proof (referring to myself) methods for extracting the Adjusting Needle Housing from Zenith castings? I've got a couple of these that just won't come loose with a wrench. I've tried penetrating oil, lots of bad words and searched for 13/32 wrenches to no avail. I have...

I used to know this but it has slipped away. It's not the age, it's mileage. The Adjustment needle housing has an odd sized hex wrench surface for install and removal. Can someone with a memory better than mind let me know what sized wrench to go in search of? My tools have been jumbled by a...

I've got a nice '31 fender with one flaw. The wire in the bead where the front curves back before slanting down has broken and the bead is beyond repair for about an 8 inch section along the front lip of the fender. It has been many years since an older friend opened a drawer in his shop to...

Anybody an expert on how to install a new screen in a horn? I fear that I will damage the new screen before I get it into the groove. Any help from experienced folk would be appreciated. thanks

I have recently acquired several original horns in the usual various states of repair. I have acquired sufficient skills to repair and restore the metal parts of these guys but my electrical motor skills are near non-existent. Does anybody in the group know of someone that can rework the...

I've seen old grainy photos of the accessory canopies for rumble seats but haven't seen one in person. Anybody here know if somebody produced those things in the recent past or know where one could be found? Seems like a parade pleaser if one could lay their hands on one.
