If you use a computer, try the free program called “shrink pic” to reduce the file size of your pictures. Once you post some pictures, you might get the feed back you are looking for? -
JimNoel replied to the topic 62 Jetfire convertable for sale? in the forum Discussion Topics – Ask the Experts 1 year, 9 months ago
Yes, I have seen pictures of that red 1962 convertible many times. It is a Cutlass or even a plain F-85 trimmed out to look like a Jetfire. It is NOT a factory produced car. To the best of my knowledge, I made the first Jetfire convertible back in 1982. I still have that car today. It has been pictured in over ten books and has been in numerous…[Read more]

Your car has a vinyl roof as Eric noted. The 1962 Jetfire in your picture is Chariot Red, paint code V. The car could have been ordered with two tone paint for $16.46 option price. The Sports top vinyl roof covering was a $75.32 option and was option J-1. Neat car, I have the twin!

A 1962 and 1963 Oldsmobile Jetfire was a specific model of Oldsmobile, not an added to a F-85. Unlike the 442, and could be ordered on a 2 door, 2 door hard top or convertible, F-85. The most unique feature of the Jetfire was the 2 door hard top, the only 2 door hardtop offered in the 1961-1963 F-85 line up.

JimNoel replied to the topic Looking for small (1/4") fuel hose clamp in the forum Discussion Topics – Ask the Experts 1 year, 11 months ago
Bruce,
What is the outside diameter of the hose you are using for the fuel return to the gas tank? I only assume the 1/4″ you state is the inside diameter. Might have one to fit a “standard” Jetfire application. -

This is the Jetfire from Williston, ND, that surfaced in 2014. The mirrors on the fenders is a give away, they are aftermarket.

JimNoel replied to the topic wiring harness in the forum Discussion Topics – Ask the Experts 2 years, 5 months ago
My recall is that is a large rubber plug with a hole in the middle for the wires to go through the fire wall. On the engine side there is a large glob of black body putty to stop and water or air from passing through to the passenger compartment. I just pushed the rubber plug from the inside to pop it out of the hole. Then removed all the old body…[Read more]

Hi Bruce,
I am not sure of the clip you are looking for? Many letters and emblems are mounted with a barrel clip like the JETFIRE emblems on the 1962 Jetfire front fenders. Some are in the Restoration Specialties 2020 catalog. Look on their page 213 for barrel clips. The letters on the front of a 1962 use speed nuts, also in their catalog.

Hi Eric,
What has become of your vent window seals? Wrong ones sent or did the finally fit? -
JimNoel replied to the topic Steele Rubber vent window seals in the forum Discussion Topics – Ask the Experts 3 years ago
Hi Eric,
I used Steele vent window repro rubber (38-0082-55) and seal on divider (50-0337-56) for two 1962 Jetfire’s and my 1962 conv’t. All three came out very good. My last replacement was in 2013 and the Steele part number was the same as yours listed here.
You might want to check with Steele to see if they are really correct or maybe marked…[Read more] -

I have one bottle cap with the original lettering, somewhat rusty too. It is hard to tell the color but it looks like white?
I have had several bottles without the lettering. Wonder if the only ones lettered were original to the cars and the dealer sold extras were just black? - Load More
