Subject: Missing 57 a/c parts
Hello group,
Before Mickey-mouse takes over my project, I thought I'd ask if anyone in
the group has any spare 57 a/c bits hanging around. Specifically, the
brackets for mounting the a/c condenser/receiver/dryer in front of the
radiator onto the core support. This unit was in the trunk of the car
when I bought it, so I have only just found out that it's mounting
hardware is missing. I'm sure there are other things missing as well
(like sight glass and it's mounting pieces) that I just haven't totally
figured out yet.
Any help appreciated.
John

Subject: Beware, this could happen to you.
Good afternoon,
Here in the Midwest (Columbus, OH to be specific). The Anti-Restoration
Completion League (ARCL)is operating in full force. This is an
organization which cares little for the mental well being of those
trying to finish their pride and joy.
As some of you are aware, I have owned a G for about 3 years. During my
time of ownership, I put less than 100 miles on the car and it has been
disassembled for most of this time. Now, the car is back from the
bodyshop and the re-assembly process has slowly begun.
The ARCL has come to light in the following forms. Broken chrome pieces
at the platers, wrong parts shipped, broken beer fridge, over 20,000
miles in the last 30 days spent on 757's and MD-80's (with more coming
on tonight) and finally, while out of town last week, my wife bought
another house! This of course necessitates the sale of the current
house.
It is unlikely that the car will make it to the Michigan meet this year
which leads to the point of this dissertation. I, however, will try to
make it.
I would like to put a Limited Slip differential in the car (currently
it is open). Should anyone be going to the Spring Meet that has an early
3:23 limited Slip pumpkin for sale, please let me know. Also, I would
like the correct axle shafts to go with this.
Please contact me privately if you can help.
Best regards,
Richard Osborne

Hi Frank, I don't know if you got your hubs off yet. I went through the
same as you.
Finally I jacked my 55 up as high as I could from the side. I thought it
was going to
turn over. I did that to help the WD 40 to run down along the key way.
Then put the hub
puller on and tighten it up with the hammer. It sat that way for two
days. Every time I
would walk bu I would give it a squirt of WD and hit the puller with the
hammer. After
two days I came out in the morning it was off. I didn't even get to hear
it pop.

The Hubs rebuked my efforts to come off their tapers. I modified the MOAP
(Mother Of All Pullers) to use the hydraulic cylinder from my engine
hoist.
That way I would be using a direct linear pull instead of defeating myself
with a screw that gets harder to turn. The cylinder is rated 8 tons. It
may take 8.001 tons, because they are still on. I am going to re-think
this whole exercise for a while.
In the meantime, I just received my repro tail light lenses from George in
Australia. They are beautiful. If anyone is looking for replacement
lenses, I can highly recommend these.
