{Chrysler 300} Re: A little tech note

Thanks, James! That may come in handy for me someday. On a different note, I am looking for a source for Exhaust Manifolds for my K, single 4 barrel. Iâ€™m not sure Iâ€™ll need them, but my new exhaust came in and will be installed soon. Hopefully, the existing manifolds are OK, but Iâ€™d like to know where I might get a pair, if it comes to that. Thanks, guys!!

I took off all the stainless trim off the door panels in the last few days. I always hate doing that as those little fold over tabs tend to break off.

I tried something different this time. I used my Weller soldering gun and an instant read kitchen thermometer and heated the tab up to 170F. I then proceeded to bend it up. I did them all without any of them breaking.

I suspect that the heat caused the molecules to move without crystallizing and breaking. At 170F I do not think it will mess with the room temperature metallurgy. I will also heat them when I push them back down once the panels are recovered.

I wanted to let folks know that it worked.

Best, James
