The BEST kit on the market is the Nuvo-Shine™ Plastic Polishing Kit Year One . Year one sells it but they want way TOO much $$. This kit should be avalible at any good hobby supply shop. It has gritted cloth from 3000 - 12000 grit. After using the kit the lens will have a slight dull look. Use this stuff from Meguiars http://www.meguiars.com/product_showroom/showproducts_template.cfm?SrcLine=PI . NOvus also used to sell similar products if you can find them somewhere. This combo should make your lenses brand spanking new MarchieB [This message has been edited by MarchieB (edited 11-22-2002).]

That is the one of the best prices for Cloth considering they are made form original material. THe vinyl ones are only $350 though

Are you looking for cloth or vinyl? & are you refering to Musclecarsonly.com? [This message has been edited by MarchieB (edited 11-06-2002).]

First Greg you need to have your pics on a web page/server. If that's done check out this link to FGMCC faq. It has info on posting pics. MarchieB [This message has been edited by MarchieB (edited 09-28-2002).]

Please correct me if I'm wrong but if you can put a pic in a sig then it must be on a server somewhere right. Therefore why can't members just put a smaller thumbnail size pic in there sig and link it to their server pic or website. I was creating my sig today and then read Pete's thoughts and so I did just this. My pic is small but still big enough about the same as Pete's and is less than 10kb, 7.7 to be exact. Also I have no problems with reducing the image quality and therefore the kb's of the image as knighttime007 mentioned. ------------------ <IMG SRC=\"http://member...t;> 1972 Chevrolet Monte Carlo 402 Custom [This message has been edited by MarchieB (edited 09-25-2002).]

Thanks guys, I'm not too concerned about any engine codes b/c 72's HAVE the engine code in the VIN# "U" being for a 402, if the engines stamped # matches the VIN's # I'll be happy Update: Offically called back owner and going to go tomorrow morning to take a second look at the car. Convinced my father to tag along. I think as soon as he sees it it will be love @ first sight ... the second time (the first new car he ever bought was a '72 Monte 350; owned 20 years, daily driver which is quiet outstanding considering he drove it in the 70's and 80's in Canada where they used almost straight salt in the winters) Anyway I should be able to scan the pics tomorrow afternoon and possibly post them Sunday (fingers crossed) Is there any less obvious area of the car that I may not have thought of to shoot a photo of so that someone can help determine the value of the car. Thank MarchieB [This message has been edited by MarchieB (edited 09-20-2002).]

Thanks Mike, is the stamp on the machined pad behind the alternator easy to see? or does anything have to be removed? I'm pretty sure the engine hasnt been decked and it's almost all original so I'm hoping the stamp is still there.

Thanks Andreas. Do you happen to know what part of the VIN # is on the block casting. The website mentions it being "partial VIN code" [This message has been edited by MarchieB (edited 09-18-2002).]

I mentioned a while back about a '72 402 Custom I was thinking of buying. Well I've been very busy as of late and was going to go back this weekend for some pics and a copy of the appraisal to show you guys to determine if the asking price was fair. What I need to know is where can I find the VIN/Serial # on the engine block ('72 402). I think I have a rough idea but I'd like some input before driving out to see the car and then not being able to find the stamping. If anyone has a pic or diagram of the location that would be greatly appreciated. Hopefuly I should have a crude website setup by Monday to post my pics then we can reopen the discussion about the value of the car.
