    Glove box trim removal help

    I don't see any way the knob is held on. I'm pretty sure there's a procedure to remove the knob with the key & a pin or something that must be depressed while turning the key a certain way. I'll find out eventually.

    Glove box trim removal help

    Yes, that piece on the upper part of the right side I had to remove the PAL nuts on the back side. Now I have to remove the plastic trim piece that covers the glove box door. It's held on with screws that are easy to get to but first I have to remove the chrome outer glove box lock knob to be...

    Dash trim paint

    New questions. I think I'll have to replace the two pieces of trim on the right side, around the radio & above the glove box. They are very brittle, cracked & even broken. I was very careful removing them too. First question, who, if anyone, makes these pieces? Second question. Do I have to...

    Dash trim paint

    That looks excellent. I found out how I remove the right side trim. I plan on Satin black or Semi-gloss spray paint & I do have those same Moltow chrome paint pens to do the borders of the trim & the small letters that are molded into the gauge face for lights, wipers etc. Thanks for the help.

    Dash trim paint

    Also, I'm not sure how the trim piece above the glove box is removed. (I know, the bird is not supposed to be there, it will be removed) Is it glued on? (doubtful) Are there fasteners hidden somewhere? Do I need to remove the glove box liner to access the fasteners? The other pieces appear to be...

    Dash trim paint

    I am about to paint the black dash trim (A good friend's car) that goes around the gauge bezels & across the dash to the passenger side on a 70 w/ Rallye Dash. What shade of black should I use, flat black, satin black etc. It is not a concourse restoration by any means but, it IS a really nice...

    Speedometer faceplate/trim piece

    Can you put up a picture of what you're needing to chrome? If it's a thin area around the gauges & bezel, a chrome pen might do a decent job for you. MOLOTOW makes them in different widths. I use them on some models with very good results. Just my 2 cents.

    I wish I'd kept it!

    I have to say, there's something I really like about a car that looks like it had seen better days but embarrasses a lot of folks at stoplight drags! I've seen pictures of your car here before & I like what I see.

    I wish I'd kept it!

    Yes, the guy I bought it from knew what he was doing. I was impressed with some of the little, time-consuming things he did that most people didn't spend their time doing. All the right combination of parts, not too radical, but pretty quick & you could drive it all day with no problems. He...

    I wish I'd kept it!

    Yes, I think I got a hell of a good deal. The car was easily worth 10 grand. It was a very solid car too.

    I wish I'd kept it!

    Pretty much but, it had the deluxe (Burnt Orange) interior. The seats were upholstered wrong when I bought it but whoever did it, did a pretty nice job & held up well over all these years.

    I wish I'd kept it!

    I bought this from the son of the original owner, who drove this car everywhere. He gave it to his son who hopped-up the engine & trans. (383-4 speed car) & did a damn good job. I was a mechanic for a long time so I can spot nice work right away. I bought the car from him in 2011 for 8 grand...

    SOLD Original 1970 440 Air Grabber filter base

    I have this piece from a 70 440-4 GTX & no longer want to keep it. It's an original base in near perfect shape (has 1 small ding in lip, can be seen in 3rd pic, easily fixed) just needs to be glass beaded & painted to be a very nice piece. I figure someone might be needing it more than me...

    70 Air Grabber base plate paint

    I have an Air Grabber base plate from a 70 GTX that I'm going to blast & re-paint. I know it's black, but is there a certain paint I'm supposed to use to do it correctly & where would I find it? I've used Herb's Parts paint before & was very happy with it, but I don't see this particular paint...
