Did the caps come with the wheels? Tony

I was wandering who was a good source for a new center cap and trim ring set for my rallys. I wasnt sure who had the best prices at this point and wandering who you all ordered from? Man I must be getting close asking this question huh??? Tony

We should probably make it more clear over there to everyone, I know it has been posted before, but there are still a whole lot of new posts over there for now. It seems more are coming over here slowly though. Tony

Thats very good!! You did say you got him in sixth grade! Tony P.S., It might be the "trick shift" fluid.... It made your shifts disappear!! Now THATS at trick!

Very nice story you have going there now! Maybe he will find some old pics of when he brought it home! Congrats on that car, you have a rare find Tony

Nice find whether it is or isnt an SS its a nice looking car. I hope it is the real deal! Good luck and welcome to the club Happy day when the car arrives isnt it? Did you check out this link? Real SS?? Tony

Very nice!! Thanks for the songlist, thats a "groovy" 8 track you got there! Great find! Keep On Truckin'! Tony

Pretty nice find there, Ill bet it shows the pure quality of the 1972 Chevrolet audio system!! I think thats a real neat item to have with the car though. Tony Any particular songs on there, or just music to enjoy? Id be curious as to a songlist if there is songs on it.

Looks real nice Terry! And dont drink and post Tony

Still having trouble with the whole big hand/little hand thing? I know I prefer digital! Tony

RM has a product (EP689) its a epoxy sealer, that can be sanded if youd like before you spray basecoat, also, with DS30 you can sand the basecoat after it flashes off. Any basecoat can be sanded as long as you put another coat or two back over it to even out the metallic. The EP product provides excellent protection against sand scratches also. Whatever you decide to do, you will probably be ok, Im just giving my opinion as to what I would do. Not saying that I am the know it all, Im just telling you what I would do, and what I do on a daily basis. Good luck with the car Kevin, Im sure itll turn out great Tony Actually reading that section again Kevin, it sounds like Len agrees that sealer would be best. I am not saying its necesarry, just an added safety measure.

Kevin, I would recommend some sort of sealer overtop of the primer before basecoat. It acts as an adhesion promoter, and seals minor sandscratches in the primer. I think Aaron(Mccall72) had a problem with scratches visible through the basecoat. This will especially be noticable in the gold color. Talk to the jobber you got the paint from and see what they recommend. Diamont DS30 is a good choice, its a transparent sealer with very good adhesion to the primer. Its not very expensive and considering what it would cost to repaint it, its money well spent. There is also an epoxy sealer that works very well too.PM me if you want and Ill help in any way I can. Glad its coming along well and I cant wait to see it in person. Tony

One of them things with lots of practice Im sure you can get good at it. I have a book on it and some small hammers and anvils for it, not great at it yet, but working on it. You can actually block sand out quite a bit on stainless, as long as you get it fairly straight to begin with, it does polish up fairly easily Ive noticed Tony

Limco really isnt a bad product Kevin, Ive used it for the less expensive jobs in the shop, it is definately less than the Diamont, and red will kill you!! Nice choice, should last quite a while. Did you get any type of sealer for under the base yet? If so, what did you get? Tony

Actually checked mine today, it say 1970 Monte Carlo and a part # also, guess I was wrong, I thought it said 1971 Tony

Could this happen with the e-brake cable also? Mine is stuck hard. Tony

Hey Riz, West Chester huh? I work in Exton and live outside Coatesville. Maybe Chester County is getting more popular with the FGMC's And RichG... finally making progress on the car, Ill be in touch soon. Tony

Im almost sure mine says 1971 monte carlo, but Ill check when I get into work today. Tony

Copyright!! If your going to get technical Rob It was just something I joked with Mike about a while ago. Tony

I believe there are some metal ones available, I got the plastic ones from here the parts place Good quality, and I think they were 245 a pair, but not sure on that. They are the only ones reproducing the plastic. Im sure others will chime in here that have used metal though. Tony

Arent we becoming the picture posting experts!!! Looking good Sam! Tony
