Terrible news, but fortunately he and his family are alright. And the Jetfire lives for another day.

Very nice. Thanks, I’ll ck with them to see how deep into my pocket they’re gonna go.

Hi Jim,
When you say cards I assume you mean door panels? Mine for my Cutlass convert are very beat. Can they do the shiny insert material too to make up new ones?

It is not NOS material. It is very good reproduction material. Ask them for a sample and see what you think, or buy a yard for a better idea.

Try SMS Auto Fabrics. We got blue upholstery fabric from them and it looks good. They show samples of their material on line. Pricey but it’s right.

Try SMS Auto Fabrics. We got a mat from them and it looks good. They show samples of their material on line They also have correct material for seats. Pricey but it’s right.

My 62 convert is not in as nice shape but I am keeping it a survivor with no repaint. The interior paint was pretty oxidized (convert) with some bubbles here and there. I used a very fine polishing compound by hand and then paste wax and it came up very nicely. Even used Eastwood clear Rust encapsulator on the rear trim panels for the quarter…[Read more]

Very nice Eric. Luke’s looking forward to getting the 62 down to the Sat morning drive in show local to us here. You NEVER seem them around.

Hi,

Sent you a PM on parts along with my email.

Thanks Layne

Try Fusick Olds for some parts, Rare Parts has suspension parts-buy on a commercial account for good prices-web site is a little confusing so call and they can walk you around, Shocks 2 Springs has shocks and other stuff, various suppliers for new springs including Detroit Spring, you can re-line your shoes, check other threads for suppliers on…[Read more]

Not sure what you mean with your question. Ben’s is still selling the 5 lug disc brake kit for the front and is now selling 5 lug axles for the rear, you can also send an axle off and Moser will make a 5 lug axle for you. 1″ lower Detroit springs work great and the rear sway bar with the bracket mods shown in another post also works well, car…[Read more]

Well Joe you’re right, the base has a V front and back. Pretty good repro for quality but the method of retaining the glass is a little different, it only uses one large recess instead of a recess for the glass and another for the split ring as the orig mirror does. The glass is slight larger and will not fit the orig, have to drive out the ball…[Read more]

Damn, I kept looking at that picture and thought, does it have a V, and then thought, no it’s just a reflection. Well it get’s here next week but at least it should have a good glass I can use or maybe the complete head. The glass shops out here want $25 just to cut a round glass!

Wow, what a find! NIce going. That paint looks fantastic. Does it run? More pictures.

We have a couple of blocks apart right now, one each. I’ll be at the shop either this weekend or early next week and check it out. I’ll let you know.

Checked with the machinist and also uses beefier rods and longer head bolts.

My understanding is that the Turbo engines have deeper bolt holes/longer bolts for the main bearing caps. I believe there are some other small differences but they escape me at the moment. I’ll check back if I can find the info.

Hi Jim.

Just sent a new PM with my new email address

Thanks
Layne

Sorry Jim, not looking to sell, looking for a mirror glass for my good frame for my car. Like to talk on that glass. Send you a PM.
