Hi to all,

Currently on eBay, you will find two auctions running, one for 1961-62
Chrysler parking light lenses, and the other for 1961 Chrysler taillight
lenses. The seller I.D .

Well, guess who "desertnos" is ?

PLEASE forward this e-mail thru any other listservers that you might be a
member of !
Gary Whitehead is the one and same person that also goes under Suncoast
Plastics and West Coast Antique. He has ripped off lots and lots of
people,
including me. His ads are no longer accepted in Hemmings, Mopar Collector
Guide, etc. ; now, he is turning to eBay to peddle his substandard
product,
since he has burnt all of his other bridges !
I urge each and every one of you to PASS ON THE WORD to all your friends
and
acquaintances! Please post to whatever listservers you might belong to !
Don't let this guy hide behind an anonymous eBay seller I.D. and rip off
more people than he already has !
PLEASE !!!!!
J.

Subject: Car Show in Billings, Mt July 12 & 13th
Greeting to all Montana members of the 300 Club!
I am inviting all of you to get the Brutes out of the garage in July
and come to Billings to the Cruzin the Rims car show. The hosts for this
event are the Beartooth Mopars, a local chapter of the Big Sky Mopar Club.
We have 27 trophy classes with three awards in each,Top 15 vehicles will
receive Jackets, long distance (driven), hard luck, peoples choice etc.
The winner of long distance and hard luck get a trophy and a gift
certificate for a nights stay at the Billings Hampton Inn. The Hampton has
also set a block of rooms aside at a better rate for those who stay that
tell them they are there for the show. There will be a poker run and
cruise Friday night and a informal get together at Blondys drive in on
S.27th st. There will be a swap meet at the show, and a craft show for the
ladies to attend and or participate in. Cost is $25.00 for the car show.
If you want to do the swap meet and the craft show it is still $25.00. So
if you enter any one of the three events, it covers doing all at no extra
charge! Pre-registration lasts until 6/30/02 and after that it is $30.00.
We have tables available at no charge for the swap meet and the crafts
people so you needn't drag tables all the way to Billings. The event will
be at North Park, on the grass and in the shade. We are renting the
multi-purpose bldg. for the week-end so those that have crafts that can't
be outside for whatever reason can be indoors. We will have KRKX 94.1 FM
broadcasting live all day from the show, entertainment, door prizes
galore, food vendors, NO ALCOHOL allowed, Uniformed Sheriffs Deputies for
security, numerous other vendors, and a really beautiful spot just below
the Rim Rocks! Please bring your Letter car(s) so we can show Montana
what a real Milestone Automobile is! Any questions or for
pre-registration forms and/or brochures, Please contact me at
jkrestor300@xxxxxxxxxxxx Looking forward to seeing you at the show!
This is also to invite ALL club members, but due to distance and the
remoteness of the area I don't foresee many traveling to Montana for this
event. HOWEVER...... You could get the long distance award and a trophy!
Thanks and have a great show season!
Joe and Kelly Pierce
300K and many others

Subject: Painting Procedures. '65 300
Hi everyone, I'm eager to hear some suggestions as to how I should paint
my
'65 300 which is currently completely stripped down to the shell. My
concern
is overspray. I will have the front subframe and suspension rebuilt and
detailed prior to painting and reassembly and don't want to end up with
primer and paint all over it, this is one problem. The other problem is
that
if I paint all of the firewall etc. prior to assembling and aligning the
fenders, hood, doors, and cowl ; I'll have primer spraying through the
seems
onto the fresh paint when I'm applying building primer and blocking out
the
body.
My solution at this point is to prep the firewall and jambs, assemble and
align the cars body parts, finish all of the bodywork and apply final
sealer, then disassemble the front end parts again so I can paint the
firewall and inner fenders etc. prior to final assembly before taking the
car to the bodyshop for body paint.
Anyone got any better suggestion? How did the factory do this? Should all
of
the pieces (Rad support, innner fenders, gravel pans, etc.) be painted
alone
prior to assembly and then re-painted once assembled or should they go on
after the entire process is done? Little help.............?
Sincerely, Ryan Hill ('65 300's)

Hi Ryan,
There are more than one ways to tackle the job... the bare body was
originally painted at the factory by itself, and only then attached to
the
subframe. For most of us this is impractical.
If subframe is off the car, have it painted or powdercoated and then all
components reassembled. What I like to do then is install the engine and
trans on the subframe, hook up the radiator and a fuel line to a can,
and
run the freshly painted and detailed drivetrain , thus making sure there
are
no stupid leaks that will necesitate pulling it out again ( rear main,
etc. ) . It's just so much easier working that way.
While this is going on, I clean, prime and paint the firewall, and also
the
inner fenders and engine cpt stuff.
Then I roll the subframe with drivetrain back under the car, reattach it,
bolt the nose together, align it, etc. and touch up the pre-painted bolts
that have been scuffed up during reassembly.
Also, door jambs, inside of doors, inside of trunk lid and inside of trunk
are done same way - cleaned, primed, painted, and reinstalled and aligned.
Make sure to OVERLAP some paint on the edges all around.
Then , all one has to do is carefully backtape all the openings ! get 2"
or wider tape, roll it over itself lengthwise, apply to the edges of the
doors and trunklid and hood that have already been painted, and SHUT the
doors, trunk and hood ! The backtaping provides a seal for primer and
dust
. Applied carefully, it works great.
Once outer bodywork is completed, and body primed, backtape is removed,
car
is washed and cleaned and prepped for painting, and backtape once again
reapplied.
Outer body is then painted, wet sanded, buffed out, and backtape removed.
Now some careful wet sanding to remove the "edge" where backtaping was.
This is NOT the correct, concours-type restoration, way to do a car, but
it
sure makes sense when restoring a nice driver to #2 condition.
John
