Thanks Grant, I’m going to give that a try here in the next week or so. Mike

I’m going to swap out my sway bars. Let us know if you have any tips on the installation. Mike

I have mine from the 80’s, still in its plastic wrap, decades before I got my car. Mike

A guy told me he put a screw in that hole to keep the bushing from “walking” out. Don’t know if that is a thing, mine haven’t moved. Mike

Here is a site to check https://www.clocksandgauges.com/home.html

How deep is the clock body? Would it be possible to mount a quartz movement with a long shaft on the back of the body? I have a volt meter in the clock location so I’m just kind of speculating. Mike

To each his own, but I think the emblems add to the looks. Mike

Not terribly expensive, just a lot of patience and trial and error. Might find something on YouTube for working with the stuff that would make you a pro! But I agree with Zedman, I like the look of the ornament on the hood. Mike

I used an old “S” insert as a pattern. An engraver did the lettering on a black background and cut the piece to size. Made a mold with some silicone molding goop, then poured liquid plastic in the mold over the engraved plastic. Lots of trial and error, but finally got one that was decent. Mike

I liked the look of the ornament but instead of the “S” insert I made my own paying homage to the designer of the car. I also added the pirate buckles on the quarter panels but just left the inserts plain black. Mike

Steve, yeah I know where Elmer City is. That would work if you wanted to pack one of those home for me. Just need to make the deal with Michael Phillips. Mike

Mark, I think he said it was $150. Are you driving back? Mike

Anyone from Washington State driving? Mike

Looks like a good solution. Seems like it would help the air conditioning be more effective. Mike
