Location: Williams California		The dashboard installation went easily, so yet another step done. Next was to install the windshield after readying the gasket for it. I had saved what I though was a good pliable original gasket about five years ago, but after spending a few hours cleaning it and applying bedding compound, that it was a couple inches too short. I decided to let it soak overnight in a bucket with Go-Jo, and see if it was just because it had shrunk. The next day I had no better luck, and was just getting frustrated, so I went back to the Desoto where I had the gasket stored. Seems someone had dumped several other gaskets there also, and upon comparison, found I had been trying to fit the wrong one. I found the one that I had thought was a good one all those years ago, but after spending several hours picking old sealant and cleaning it, there was a burned spot in one of the lower corners that would stick out like a sore thumb.

I ended up pulling the windshield on a '59 Chrysler coupe that had a pliable gasket. After cleaning and adding the bedding compound, it fit right on the glass. I didn't have anyone here to help, but was able to get the windshield installed in less than fifteen minutes, as if to make up for all the previous battles I had been having with it.

Location: Williams California		It's actually a tinted one, Ron, The sun was shining directly onto it which makes it appear clearer.

I haven't really decided on the door panels, or the rest of the upholstery for that matter, as my friend that did my other cars is no longer physically able to do the work. I still need to make seat frames and springs up, as the originals were rusted to nothing, as well as the quarter window interior panels.

Location: Williams California		I got the majority of my aluminum trim back from the plater, everything looked good, except for the trunklid 'toilet seat' insert, which is pretty well destroyed. There's a chance they misunderstood what I was wanting, I have a couple spares, but may find someone else to doo it depending on what I am told.

I masked and painted the parking light bezels, and reassembled them to the lower grill strips and grills with all redone original hardware. Then I fitted the assemblies into the front filler panel, and bolted them in. Next, I acid dipped the park light sockets briefly to remove corrosion, then painted them silver for better reflection. Next, NOS lenses were installed.

Also, I see your earlier photos of the under side of body shell with black paint before the out riggers are welded. Is that something you put on and can weld through when the other panel is mated to it???? Looks like it would work well so rust wouldn't form between.

Matt, it was just a protective coating with rust converter rather than a weld-through primer. Right where the rosette welds are, it will burn off, but the surrounding metal will be protected. When the underside was painted, it should have gotten any exposed metal.

What is the product called John? Looks like something I should be using in those areas so the metal will be protected and no further rust will happen.

Location: Williams California		Mick,
a friend of mine that polished faceplates for slot machines for a living dinged and polished a full set of trim for a 2-door hardtop for me about fifteen years ago, so I just need to do the convertible specific ones to match the rest. Most were in decent shape to begin with, if I recall correctly. Glen passed away a few years ago, so I will have to have someone else do the remainder, as I do not have the proper equipment to do as nice a job.

Location: Williams California		I looked into buying a reproduction fuel tank and sender, as it would save a ton of work, but after weighing the fact of the cost, shipping, and that the tanks are not plated, but painted, I decided to refurbish an old one I had.

The tank I found was solid, but had a large, but light dent in the bottom, and did have a degree of surface rust on the inside. I removed the sending unit, and proceeded over to our garden hose, and pressurized the tank with just the pressure our well supplied, until I heard a deep 'Thunk'. It did a good job of popping the dent out without any damage. Next, I used a small propane torch to heat the remaining undercoating, and carefully scraped it off, to the original galvanizing. Note of caution- never try this on a tank that hasn't had at least a month to fully dry out, if you can smell ANYTHING, it can explode.

Next, I used some used lacquer thinner mixed with fresh fuel, poured it into the tank, then dropped a few three foot long chains inside. After swishing the contents around for a half hour, I inspected the results. The chains had scrubbed 90% or better of the surface rust from the bottom of the tank. I repeated this with the tank upside down, then all four sides. The liquid that came out was very thick with rust. I then rinsed the tank multiple times using Super Clean to remove leftover residue.

Next, after the rust had settled to the bottom of the drain pan, I soaked a rag in the fuel/lacquer thinner mixture, and wiped the tank down to remove the undercoat remains. Looks a whole lot better now!

I cleaned and painted the two straps, replaced the neck O-ring, and did a solder repair on the sending unit. I then installed it in the car, and fitted the fuel filler door.

A very talented gal in Michigan made him for me. I can ask if she is willing to sell another, if you wish.

Honestly, no. I've always ran breaker point ignitions as I rarely ever have any trouble, and if I do, a test light is all I need to diagnose it.

Most folks that have ignition troubles either have too much voltage going to the coil, or the bushings in the distributor are worn, allowing a change in dwell angle.
