Thinking about another doing another run of re-plating hood latches......

Hi, well it's getting to be that time of year again. I usually do this between Thanksgiving and Christmas. If you're interested in getting your hood latch restored, please post here so I have an idea of how many people are interested. I will have springs for the earlier years this time around, back to 1964 I believe.

Prices should be the same as last year, which I believe was about $45 for just a re-plating and $54 with new springs. earlier years this time also back to 1964 I believe.

 

Sign me up for the one on my '70 for sure.

Would it be correct for the '64 Wildcat too? If so, sign me up for that one as well.

How about other parts that get the same plating?

 

I'm in for two (2) 1965 hood latches w/new springs. :TU:

 

I have a couple 70's to do...interested.:TU:

 

I don't know if it's correct for a Wildcat latch, but I can certainly do it. I can also do other parts such as disc brake brackets and I believe the shifter bar from the trans up to the column is supposed to be done. I did one for someone else who said that was factory correct.

One thing I cannot do is brake boosters. They have to be dismantled to do that right.

 

I'd be in for both sides--67 GS.

I have a couple to do.

 

Count me in for a '70.

 

I'd like to get mine done. I've been waiting for you to do another run.

I experimented with Eastwood's gold cad mimicking paint, and it looks really
cheesy.

How do you get those springs out?


:TU:

 

Best way to get the springs out is to do the outer one first that works the hood pull. then you do the one on the bottom. After that, you can easily do the big one on the inside in the middle. I use an awl or a small flat tip screwdriver.

 

Thanks Phillip.
I guess without looking at it I was thinking you had to disassemble the whole latch.

 

Put me down for one complete, where do we send em Phil ? o No:

 

Phil-

Would you be willing to do a set of 4-speed linkages such as shown here (photo courtesy of Jim Lore)? That would be a great help to me! Let me know, thanks!

 

I'm in for 1 for my 65 GS. :beer

But I might also have one available for someone else who needs pnone.:bla:

 

Put me down for 1 phillip - I missed out last year

I'm north of the border, let me know about addition shipping costs when the time comes.

thanks

 

For Canada, it would be an extra $4 for the extra shipping costs.

 

Is that everyone? If so that's only about 15, so I don't know if I'd be able to do it this year. I really need to do about 25-30 so that I make sure I don't go negative on the $$.

 

Hi Phil, I will send mine in if you run a batch-PM me when you want me to send it, ok? MarkO

 

Count me in a a couple. would it make a difference if I have other parts to be plated as well?
