    If you are interested,
    I believe I make all the Chassis stickers for your 69 car now. They would include the stickers for the Frame, F&R springs, Shocks, Sway bars, Steering Box, Master Cylinder/Power Booster, Throttle cable, and the one that goes on the driver side valve cover for the engine/trans combination.

    I build my sets according to the options for each particular car, not some "generic" set of decals like other people sell.

    Duane,

    what is the price on a complete set of stickers and do you have the locations on where they should be applied just in case I missed one.

    I believe I am selling the entire kit as described for $63.50 with the shipping included to anywhere in the Continental US. I supply them with a sheet that shows exactly where and how they get installed. (The frame sticker goes upside down.) The only ones that are not shown on the sheet are the Throttle cable, Steering Box, and Driver side valve cover stickers. When you call to give me all the info I need to build the set, I will explain where and how to place those stickers.

    None of my stickers come with any adhesive on them. Many guys use a double sided tape, but I am sure there are other methods as well. If you mess one up trying to put it on, just let me know and I will send a replacement.


    I will also be coming back out with my Copper Coated Cotter Pins soon. Where they get used, and how they get installed depends on the year of manufacture as well as the Production plant they were built at. Some cars require all Steel, others use all Copper, while others are a mix of both. I also supply a sheet with these showing how they get installed at the appropriate locations, and can explain over the phone how to do it easily so they look correct.

    If you are interested you can give me a call @ 610-544-6776 after 7:30 PM eastern, or you can PM me your number (with times to call) and I will give you a call back. You might want to do that because I would like to ask a few questions about your car. Historically I have not been a 69 guy, but I am sure learning about these cars fast. Building one has a tendency to do that to you.

    Looking forward to seeing more pics of your build.

    Duane,

    I will reach to you later today if this would be okay. I want to talk with you about your project and the decals.

    Roger,
    Great talk the other day. Just wanted to post a pic of the Chassis Sticker set I am sending you. They will be going out in the mail next Tuesday.

    Sorry for the shameless plug.

    Duane,

    No thank you and I really appreciate the information you shared and the stickers. I am sure we will be more calls during this build.

    I am in need of some guidance, Has anyone sent off a steering wheel to have it repaired? If so, who does good work. My second question, does anyone know of a place that we can send the carburetor off too as well?

    You can probably find a Nice used Horn pad wheel much cheaper. However, lately they have been going up. To have it " re cast" in new material that won't crack again, you're looking a close to 1K. If you want to just grind out and bondo the cracks may as well do that yourself.

    I have another question. We were not abel to tell during the tear down. What is normal for the trunk latch? painted with over spray or natural metal?
     
  13. Daves69

    Daves69 Too many cars too work on

    The latch located in the trunk lid would be painted body color. Unless power trunk release then it would be natural.

    Question, I am showing the undercab and frame received some body color over spray and I am wanting to verify. The body appears to been repainted once in it's life and I am not sure if this is correct or not.

    Hugger is correct, the frame should not have any overspray on it, as it was not on the body when it was painted.

    If your frame has paint on it then it was put on when they repainted the car.

    Thanks. We do have some overspray on the frame which leads to our thought process that it was repainted at one time.
