Subject: Parts For Sale
Group:
Ran into former club member Joel Cox at a swap meet Saturday.
He still had some reproduction parts left that he had "sand-cast" in BRASS
years ago such as 300F reverse lamp bezels, 300F license frame and 300F
deck "CHRYSLER" script w/ logo.
Among his used parts I saw 300G side madallions and bezels,
300F/G manifold heat elbow, ram intake carburetor linkage,the small piece
for F,G,H console that covers where front and rear side stainless joins
and a hemi valve cover (yes-with rocker reliefs) for I THINK he said C or
D.
Call Joel DIRECT at 440-366-6767. (Ohio)
PLEASE! DO NOT REPLY TO ME - I am not involved in the sale of thse parts.

Subject: Car Assessment Needed
<PRE>A member in central Illinois has a 300B for sale, and he has no idea
whatsoever what it might be worth. Is there a Club member living near
Decatur Illinois (where the car is stored) who would be able to look over
the
car and perhaps fill out a Clearinghouse sheet for it? These sheets are
available from the Club Clearinghouse; see the Newsletter for the address.
Interested members should contact the member directly. His e-mail address
is: boomer4548@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Thanks in advance for all and any help
with
this matter.

Subject: 300L Carpet & Headliner
Hi Steve,
I installed Legendary carpet and headliner as well as seat covers and seat
foam from Legendary Auto Interiors in my 300L hardtop, and was satisfied
with the results . Except for the one following item:
PLEASE NOTE :( as Ryan Hill brought up..) 300L used thick rubber heel
pads, one on each side in the front footwells. These MUST be saved from
old
carpet as they will need to be stitched into the new Legendary carpet.
Also, the Legendary carpet comes with a generic rubber heel pad on the
driver's side only. It is totally incorrect. The way to proceed, if
ordering 300L carpet from Legendary, is to specify a carpet with NO HEEL
PAD
!!!!
Better yet is to order all this stuff from Gary Goers.
Hope this helps,
John

Subject: Masking advice - reply
Hi Ryan,
With regards to your masking question - I have some experience that might
be
of help. In the same way that you did, on each car that I have restored, I
pre-painted the engine compartment, door jambs, inside the trunk and
inside
trunk lid, etc... , allowing some paint to extend PAST these areas onto
the
outer body. I then proceeded as you plan to do , namely block-sanding,
priming and painting the outer body. In order to keep primer from going
into the engine cpt, door jambs and trunk, I used a procedure called
"back-taping" . It is essentially exactly what the name implies - you roll
some masking tape onto itself (creating something akin to a gasket) and
place it all around the hood, doors, trunk, etc. ; you use different width
masking tape depending on need - 2" tape works just fine for most. You
then
shut the hood / trunk / doors over this improvised gasket and proceed with
blocking and priming . When body is ready for paint, you remove the old
"backtape" , clean off everything once again as there will be dust and
other
junk from the sanding, etc.. and then proceed to re-backtape
everything.
Once the car is painted, you remove the backtape, and some light
wet-sanding
will make the overlap disappear entirely.
There is no substitute for taking your time with backtaping and masking.
Hope this helps... no advice as to source for good gaskets. Reusing
originals whenever possible is always a safe bet.
John
