I might have got it wrong, Prius/leaf not sure, but it was pink like pepto

I met Dave Heacock and saw his conversion, as I was contemplating an EV conversion. He got most of the parts from Thunderstruck Motors in Sata Rosa ca. Brian Hall is the owner and put me in touch with Dave. I've seen one other EV converted avanti dropped onto a Prius chasis it was peptobismal pink. I have a fair amount of knowledge on the subject if anyone is interested

Mfg states that R4892 is the first square light produced but I have R4334 it is a square light and it says 1963 on the title

Here are some photos of a turn signal bucket I made yesterday for my 63, cardstock mold coated in candle wax hand lay up fiberglass

Thanks for the input from all of you,I didn't know about that oil either. Good info

Wanting suggestions on the installation of sbc into 63, motor mount placement and whatever considerations about hood clearance would be appreciated.

My 63 had this same problem, I used 3-M 5200 the marine industry uses this to bond the top half of a fiberglass boat to its hull, clean the space between the top and bottom with folded sand paper wipe with acetone, squeeze in the 5200 hold together with weights and good to go.

I don't understand why they designed the window crank shaft the way they did,it could have been simple, a shaft with gear on end but they use a little gear with a dog eared u shape thing that indexes the top of little gear then the shaft fits inside of that to drive gear lots of room for slop, maybe that's the point. Thanks for the pat on the back

My window crank was flopping around like the shaft was broken, I am disassembling the car for paint anyway, removed window and lift mechanism and discovered the start of the problem, the lift assist spring had disengaged leaving the previous owner cranking so hard for long enough to wear a big Groove in the crankshaft. I first had to remove the shaft from regulator requiring drilling out the rivets to get shaft out. I filled in the groove with my mig welder than cleaned up the shaft on the lathe came out nice, next the bushing cap that holds the shaft in place had also worn in the process, I was able to swedge it back to tolerance with a piece of tobing and a hammer. Last step put it back together,didn't have proper rivets so I spot welded it. Good as new. Hope someone finds this helpful. Guy 63R3477
