Re: Project Vitamin C-10
I met with a highly recommended body man here in town. He looked at the hood and said he can fix it for $75. I think that is pretty cheap. It kind of scares me. . I asked him his procedures and sounded right to me.
I wish I was more capable of doing it myself. Sometimes we have to admit our weaknesses. We'll see what comes of the hood. Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Glad to hear you found someone that might be able to fix it for you. Keep his number handy I might need him too when I get this point in my build.

I think he did the blaster a favor. They might have a good working relationship. No word on the hood yet. I heard he is slow, but good. That's fine by me. Some other progress made today. The upohlstery guy got the seats apart and gave the plastic trim pieces so I can paint them. I got them degreased tonight. Hope to paint this week.

He is trying to retire, and I guess it was something I said as he was turning down the job that made him change his mind and take her car on. I also hope the best for your hood, I bet it turns out fine!

Got the trim pieces painted tonight, so I can get them back to the upohlstry shop tomorrow. I just went thru the interior color chip book and picked out a color that would work. I just wanted to go with a satin black single stage. The flash was on in the first pic of the trim. It kind of washed it out.

As far as the hood, I called Friday and the guy hasn't even gone to pick it up yet. The upholstery shop is closed on Fridays as well. Tried to get the wiper linkage installed temporarily because I need to take the motor back out and install the seal (Christams present). Discovered I was missing the link off the motor. It's somewhere, but luckily Greg brought my parts cab back and it had one on it. I also used a Port-o-power to fix the frame rail. It had three cracks in it that showed up while working it. I never knew there were 3 cracks there. I saw one a little while ago. I had the frame sand blasted and primed since I was in the process of building my shop 4 years ago. I never saw the frame in bare metal. The primer they used was thick and hides a lot of stuff. Just another minor set back. I'll repair the cracks and repaint the frame horn.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Port-o-power???? What happen to the good old days when it was a tree, a chain and a come-a-long. Getting all high tech on us. I'm surprised it didn't bend your radiator.

Trying not to get upset about it. I consider this a good learning experience not only shrinking metal on a big panel, but don't let anyone else mess up something that I can mess up myself. Join the crowd. Trying to figure out the wiring to the wiper motor and switch. I can make it work like I have it wired in the pic, but how does the 2nd speed work? The yellow wire is a jumper, the green to ground/switch and the red on top is 12v. Don't mind the lower red wire. I think my 59 impala switch is fried. It only has continuity in one position. With the yellow jumper wire in place it is low speed. If I remove it it goes to high. How do I do that with a switch. I checked the FAQ and posted a pic below of the diagram. I'm not going to explain (confuse) anymore right now. I'll just wait to see what is said. While I do some more searching. I did bench check the motor with instructions off Bruces88 (I think) thread. It seemed to pass the test.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Alan, so sorry to hear about the hood... Heck I could have done that.. LOL 36 grit on a farely straight hood.. NOT in MY shop... I've seen ridges such as yours taken out with a shrinking hammer and file. takes a while but can be done... Check the net for videos of medal shrinking or get a copy of the medal working DVD from Eastwood. I hear it is pretty good...
Looks to me that the switch is history. Let me look in my pile of parts.. I might, I say Might, have one from a 57 sitting around.. I believe they are the same switch. Let me look as I know I put a new one in mine a few years ago. It came with a kit I bought for the windshield wipers. |
