Re: Daverods project 66
You should count your lucky stars that Brothers didn't send you a bumper. They are thin asian made crap!
Find an old painted bumper and send it out to have it chromed.. WAY better quality

Re: Daverods project 66
No Bubba I kinda like the bomb thing. Besides I just bought a new rubber neck thing for it. Last time I was messing withb the tank I needed to take it out you have to kinda tip it down to get it out. Anyway gas came out the fill hole and went averywhere. It was then I saw the wires going to the gas sender were caught on somthing and where shorting like crazy. I really can't believe I'm still here.

I'm sure if you where doing it you would have red taged it or somthing smart. er er

Re: Daverods project 66
Now you just need to put a egg crate on the frame so you can drive it around.

Re: Daverods project 66
That's easy enough to fix. Try it. Make special tools to fit where the dent is, and hammer them out little by little. Make it as smooth as possible, then lightly use a fine file to hit the high spots. Then hammer out the low spots. Go over it with a small wooden block and 400 paper. Keep looking for low spots and fix them, and when done. Sand with 1000 grit, and buff it. I did a lot of stainless for myself and friends. For one I did my whole 56 Belair. It's a dirty job, but someone has to do it.

Re: Daverods project 66
It's easier if they just give me what I ordered. I'll try what you said on me grill though. It's not to bad just a couple small dents.

Re: Daverods project 66
This method is for stainless steel. Your grill is steel isn't it? I guess it can be done the same way.

Re: Daverods project 66
Maybe it is the fumes from all the sanding the boy has been doing lately. Be careful !
Good luck with the negotiations, I am holding out for a 5 window!

Re: Daverods project 66
There's a nice one here on craigs for $2,000. Check it.http://eastidaho.craigslist.org/cto/2043452243.html Looks a lot better then the one in Utah. Only 500 more and much closer. You need it Bubba. Buy it for your daughter.

Re: Daverods project 66
Yup that will do!! Go ahead and get it and hang on to it until Christmas-- Please!!!
Daughter slid the Yota into a curb in the snow/black Ice and trashed the right front rim (an obsolete Enkei rim no less ) It goes to the front end shop tomorrow to see what else got whacked . I hope the rack and the struts are undamaged. Ruined the tire too. The 64 is back to work as a daily driver I have a 13 year old daughter also but she is wanting a 70's Camaro But she says " just buy one all completed -It is faster than you building it"

Re: Daverods project 66
I hope the Yota is not done . It is a 99 Camry with 122,000 miles and still runs great.
I am a little worried whether it is going to be worth fixing. I guess we will see tomorrow what all is trashed. She hit it 2 weeks ago and did not say anything. I drove it last night and discovered things . Of course the tire is ruined and it pulls badly to the right. The rack turns OK but I wonder if it jumped a notch as the steering wheel is way off center now. It is only a car and she is OK ,as she just slowly slid into the curb and whacked it just right. Not even enough to set the air bags off . I have a friend who will work on Yotas and I do not like to mess with them. I may have to get the 71 project going for a spare vehicle.
