Ok, I can't resist any longer!? What in H*LL were you doing going that fast
and trying to prevent SOME ONE ELSE from passing you?!!!? Are you writing a
country song, or what?

Excellent analysis, Bill!

I don't know how to do it, but it should be possible to set up the
transmission to downshift at a higher speed. I know in my particular case I
downshift to second and full throttle upshift to third at the same speed,
about 78 mph. With 225/70/15 tires using your calcs that suggests an engine
speed of 4479 rpm. That's lower than I thought (maybe my 2nd gear ratio is
higher than 1.45?), but I know its good for my motor as previously it had
been downshifting even at 85 mph and at that speed I had no power and the
motor felt like it was overrevving. Anyway, my mechanic adjusted it so over
78 mph it doesn't downshift so it seems to me it should be possible to
adjust it in the other direction too.

The old cast-iron torqueflites could not be held in 2nd gear past about 80
mph, they would upshift, even with the selector in 2. It's likely there is
a similar feature in there that limits the use of passing gear at higher
speeds.

Subject: RE: torqueflite trans.

I'll throw my past experiences in on two different G's I've owned.  Somewhere between 75 and 80 is where the 'natural full throttle' upshift into 3rd always seemed to occur.

There was always so much torque on hand, I never had the occasion to go for 'kickdown' at speeds above 65, just ease into it and watch the needle dive to the triple digits.

By the way, should we be doing this to cars that are almost 50 years old?
Sure, why not!

Hi David and all

I got to my C aluminum door panel inserts today. David's experience rose
my
curiosity. I have not looked at mine for a couple of years.
I knew they had a pattern, but could not envision them. As we do stamping

in my business I knew it had to be a stamping process of one means or
another.
What I found it is an imprint. A form of stamping using a engraved die
that
is struck in a press just deep enough to leave the shallow pattern. An
example of imprinting is when we all see a piece of metal that has a
logo,
part no., etc. depressed into it.
This panel is not a piece that you want to polish for the reasons David
experienced. Polishing removes metal and the shallow pattern will be
gone.
There is no cost effective cure to reproduce the process. I also took a
close look at the panel finish. It is not anodized. Chrysler in the early

days used a process called bright dip. We can all relate to that as we
climb in and out of showers with an aluminum frame. That is bright dip.
Not
quite chrome, but shinny. Chrysler also used it on at least 57 to 59 300
grills. Due to weathering and the elements the bright dip is long gone to

leave dull or corroded aluminum. Brite dip is still done today just like
shower door aluminum.
At best one could use a fine steel wool or 500 to 1000 grit paper to try
and remove fine scratches. Forget any deep scratches or other damage.  If

it cleans up a coat of gloss or semi clear may make them look ok.
David. There may be some salvation for you. Not to many know that 57 NY
had
the same panel. That gives you a broader base to find some. 58 may of had

them also. The pattern may have changed like they did on radio and ash
tray
back ground. If you find a pair of  58 then I won't tell.

Hi to All,
     Response from Gary Goers indicated that the project to reproduce the
inserts was to be done by the guy from Sweden that did the sill plates.
For whatever reasons, the inserts are not going to be made at this time.
Gary feels that the pattern was indeed a stamping operation, although a
shallow one.  Refer to the post from Gary Nelson for a an excellent
insight on what is going on with these inserts.

Subject: 300C brakes - disc conversions

Hi Gary,

I remember communicating with Nick Conrad about your Swiss 300C, and he did
explain to me that it was indeed converted to discs while in Switzerland,
early on. Did he mention Corvette parts were used?  I forget.... If this
current conversion is giving you problems, I suggest that you purchase and
install one of the two currently available FRONT disc conversions.  I
strongly suggest that you leave the rear drum setup alone.

Either of these conversions will fit under the front 14" stock rims.  If you
are very mechanically adept, you can save yourself some money and make your
own using Dan Reitz's blueprints.   Contact Don Reitz for more info at :
Dan300F@xxxxxxx or check out the article at :
http://crossrams.com/disc/neanderthal.html



As far as the two conversions, they are available from

1/  Stainless Steel Brake
     11470 Main Rd
     Clarence, NY 14031
     800-448-7722
     www.ssbrakes.com

I did install such a kit, and it was an easy job. I took pictures, which you
can view at:
 http://www.crossrams.com/rinaldi/discbrake/main.html
and you can also read an article about this at:
http://www.moparmusclemagazine.com/howto/26038/

2/   AAJ Brake
      Located in Portland, Oregon (503) 890-1469
     http://www.aajbrakes.bravepages.com/
I have not seen or installed their product.

Hope this helps,

sincerely,

Good morning group,
A few years ago I cleaned up the grill of my 62 Sport Fury, which I thought
was anodized but turned out to be bright dipped also.  First I sanded the
dark spots with 600 grit dry, then sanded the whole grill with 1000 wet.
Then, just for fun I machine polished it with white compound, which really
made it shine.  It wasn't embossed so I didn't have to worry about wiping
out any detail except for the black painted lines.  I cleaned the compound
out of the thousands of little square holes using my parts washer.  After
painting on the black lines, I sprayed on some clear coat urethane thinned 1
to 1.  Four years later it was still the shiniest part on the whole car.
