thanks you guys,Rusty informed me on another post its a 1953 Chrysler Imperial trunk emblem

This V8 emblem was on the decklid of my 38 years ago when i bought it,The car was originaly from Argentina, if it wasnt an original badge for this does anyone recognize what it came off. Thanks ahead for responces

i did rough up the head of the screw with my die grinder so it would have a little more bite on it,also it was a tapered screw completly submerged in the JB Weld,pretty sure as long as i dont nuts over torqing it should hold.thanks for the post

Thirsty ,,,thats a good idea with the rags for heat sinks,i suspect the JB weld is going to hold especialy considering its 1 of 4 holding it, but if not solder will be the next thing i try,,thanks again

probably not ideal and found jb weld isnt either,i didnt have on hand but have favored west marine,s 2 part in the past,but no rush with this it can sit for a while to cure up, thanks much Thirsty appreciate the help

i widen the hole a little more till this screw head fit and j b welded it

i drilled it and attempted to tap it but i only have about 1/8 of thickness before im out the front side and even with a blunt tap i was unsuccessful, think i will try your cold jb weld fix a shot and epoxy a 12 nut in it thanks much

Im trying to dig up photos from the back of my 38 before i tore it down in 93 :o, it was on the decklid,was originaly a club convertible from argentina,this is the emblem from the front,curiuos if you or any one recognize it

The threads are pulled out on 1 of 4,, it looks like brass,there not enough there for me to retap it,thinking maybe propane torch with wire solder a 12 24 stud in. Thanks ahead for any suggestions

Im in the middle of moving out to Lake Havasu ,,,I have quit a few containers of paints primers and bondo I wanted to bring. It gets very hot in the summer is it safe to store it in my shop with the extreme heat in the summer. If not any ideas how to,, Thanks ahead

Hi Kube... you described them well that's how i pictured them yesterday after reading your post,I was thinking 3/4 plywood but better yet looks like you shaped it out of a piece of 2 by 8.. I can use the inner fenders for a pattern,,,thanks much

Hi Kube ,,that would be great when u get a chance to post the photos,,sounds like you had the fastened very secure to be able to also sand and buff,,Iv had my hands full wrestling these around just doing the bodywork and sanding the primer,,I don't paint every day so it is important for me to...

Anyone have any clever ideas on ways they hung there fat fenders for spraying..I have some square stock was going to weld some thing up off this dolly,,,,thanks ahead

Just Noticing the 40 convertible door top here in the US differs from that,it dosnt have the 2nd reveal or body line ,,here I believe just from 35 to 38

deuce_roadster which line of Single Stage Urethane is your preference? agree too on the 4 to 1 primers these days sure beats lacquer primer and air dry glazing putty,, I thinks it plays a part in why im so impressed now in the finish Im getting out of the AE

Yep Im here in San Diego hands are tied ,That Deltron was really nice,flashed quick,,then came PPGs DCC single stage,,I feel best single stage of all time,,,,but the price! Hard to get out here too last gallon kit I got for a buddy about a year ago was over $500 for black,,bought red about 4...

I remember the Dupont Centari ,,had a sort of sweet smell,was my favorite of all the AE lines ,most of my friends that were painters prefer d PPG Delstar ,I remember the Delstar seem to me was a little harder to get to flow but had an edge on the shine....this AE im using resembles Delstar but...

Tom I used TCPs products,there about a half hour from my house,the Acrylic enamel is the 8 to one I used on my buddy's VW nice shine out of that but is alot thinner the the AE I bought off Ebay.. also used Restoration shop single stage urethane ,,super shiny but struggle with it was really slow...
