Conn47D24 Posted September 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2020 This was a lot more involved than I thought, and looks. But done, and looks great! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conn47D24 Posted September 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2020 Door handles done. Tapped new threads 10-24. and added a nylon lined nut to each. Very solid feel. Taping to prevent scratching the paint has worked well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conn47D24 Posted September 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 Exterior stainless trim installed. 40 years since I remove this trim so putting it in was intimidating. Turned out very easy after all. Lots of tape to protect the paint. Push it all firmly into place until the two ends lineup with the slot in the body ,on the interior side of the door. Clip over the seem, tab on back bends into the door frame slot. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conn47D24 Posted September 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 Rear stone shield. Interesting challenge here. One of the welded speed nuts was missing. I was able to carefully insert a nut with attached star washer through a slot near the bolt hole. Lined it up and slowly grabbed the threads. Whew ! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conn47D24 Posted September 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2020 Before and after steering wheel. Old wheel had only one large crack and to tiny ones. It was still a very tedious job! Sanding epoxy, and getting the paint right was slow steps. Pretty happy with results. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniper Posted September 30, 2020 Report Share Posted September 30, 2020 Nice work on the steering wheel. Mine needs similar repair. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conn47D24 Posted September 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2020 Easy on the epoxy limits sanding. Spinning the wheel while painting kept the drips away. I learned both of these things the hard way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't you just love putting cleaned up pieces back on a fresh paint job. It really makes the car seem like it is coming back together and close to the road! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been there and done that. 90% of your time is cleaning, repairing, or replacing old crap. 10% is putting all of the nice stuff back together but worth all the effort to get there. It is so nice to get a restored car out on the road for the first time! 2012 2020 and the car's been on the road for two years Edited September 30, 2020 by RobertKB 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desoto1939 Posted October 4, 2020 Report Share Posted October 4, 2020 clay it is looking so nice and you are taking your time to put it back together. Fall Carlise was a real bust you should glad that you did not go. Lots of empty vendor spots. Most venders thought it would be packed and fullof venders becasue of not having hershey next week but maybe that is the reason. No major Mopar dealers not even ed speigel no packard dealers either some hit a miss dealers but mostly junk. Looking forward to Hershey of next year 2021.

Conn47D24 Posted October 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2020 Rich, That's bad ! I thought for sure due to no Hershe, Carsile would be packed. Wierd Ed was not there. YES 2021 for us all ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
