Re: IML: 1959 Decal Interest survey

Hi Paul,

I have not been able to find foil paper that works. No one carrys it or even can even order it. The foil paper I've tried does not hold the black ink and comes out too light. I went to six places in town looking for the correct foil paper and they all looked at me like I had two heads, except one recomended a print shop in Chico that can make most anything. If anyone knows a source for material that works, let me know.

Marty

The link provides instructions on how to make them ourselves. Why do
you need to hire a print shop?

Just curious.

Hi All 59 owners,

I'm contacting a print shop tomorrow that should be able to make the
correct decals for 1959 valve covers. Not the oval type. Please contact
me off list if your interested in getting a pair. I'll have a set made
up and test drive them, to see if they work out and look good. I'll
give interested buyers the contact to get them, if I think they are
satisfactory. I want the leverage of possible multiple sales to get a
good deal on making them. Below are the type I'm looking into. Thanks,

Marty let me know if you get the correct 59 value cover decals printed,
( the large rectangle gold on black deco text). I just discovered a
hair crack in my engine block. This is after the machine shop magna
fluxed it and said that it was ok. The crack is clearly there in a non
high stress area. It is in the lower end of the block in a radius about
7/16 from the edge of the cylinder wall. The crack is only

1 1/2 inches long and does not comprise the wall of the cylinder. I am
planning to have it welded with a low nickel

weld. My question to the group is. In terms of resale value, is an
original correct numbers engine block better than a second similar
engine block with numbers that do not match my car. I have no doubt
that the weld will hold it is such a small crack, but if I sell the car
I will have to say that the block has been welded and I am sure this
will hurt value.

No I am not going to lie and say it was rebuilt without welding
although I am sure many would.

Thank you for such great input from this site.

David

Hi David,

I believe it was a semi gloss on most everything. The radiator was
satin. The master brake cylinder is painted dark cast iron. I will be
getting the exhaust manifold ceramiced light cast iron eventually. Hope
this helps. I'm working on printing up the correct valve cover
stickers, all other decals should be correct. I'm still missing the air
cleaner decal.

Marty thank you for the fine photos. Do you recall what finish black
you used? Gloss, semi gloss, low gloss, satin?

I would like to hear from other members about the issue of engine
finish. Some of your components look satin. Thank you, David

Hi David,

I believe mine is to original. The valve decals are wrong and with be
replaced soon. The Imp site has them listed under 1961. Hope this helps.
