What did you do to your car today?

[kcmash]

Took a trip to the plating shop.  Dropped off the Hurst shifter handle and both twist lock tops for re-chrome.

$100 for all 3.  I thought that was a hell of a deal!

Well the plater quoted 3 weeks and finished in 3 days!

Here is the 40 dollar shifter handle job.

Well, I am super satisfied with these guys.  I got the shifter handle and both hood twist lock buttons replated and polished for $100.    The chrome looks incredible and they are super friendly to deal with.  DeTray Plating in Independence MO.

Let me know what else I can tell you about them.

I topped up my diff with more fluid...is that ok? 

:-/

 

[Don C]

How often do you have to add gear lube to it? Usually the differential does need topping off unless it has a leak.

 

[rocketmans2k]

Mine moved under it's own power today for the first time in at least 10 years, maybe more!

 

[kcmash]

Started mine up for the 4th of July party guests.  Just because I finally can....

I had a small leak -- stopped the leak and added about half a pint

You should be ready to go, then. One other question, do you have a traction lock rear end? Some require a friction modifier in the lube.

Just a little Idle time.

Checked fan and blower functions, checked Power Steering.   Blower- good, Power Steering-not good.  Idling - Sweet, a little rich.

I'm pretty sure the PS pump went bad sitting dry for 20 years.

 

[73pony]

Sweet. Sounds good. Looks fantastic!

Sweet! When I close my eyes, yours sounds just like mine and it's only a 302 Windsor LOL!

Started media blasting inside the car.

I forgot how miserable that Job is. Should have done it during the winter when it was cool!

 

[kcmash]

I got the new BFG sneakers for the Mach yesterday.  Torqued the rears down today.

Went to the air show, so not much garage time.  Back to the office tomorrow.

I put the hood and grille on this past weekend. She's 99% back together! All that's left are the rear valance that I can't seem to get a good finish on with the Dupli-Color, a couple of electrical issues (horn and brake lights), and chasing a leak or two. Then she's ready for safety inspection and a tag!

 

[73pony]

Awesome. Looks great.

I really like how those wheels look. Great job!

 

[rocketmans2k]

Thanks! I was going for something a little different, yet period-correct. These are American Racing Vectors like the General Lee wore. No offense to anyone here, but I get tired of seeing Cragars, slots, and Magnums all the time, and I'm not a fan of the new-style street rims in 18+ diameter on old cars.
