This week the headliner didn't show but we decided to move on to the stainless window trim and we come out shiny!
@gbx78 Yes, it is the door drip rail molding. the best tool we've found is an all aluminum bottle opener like the one offered by Home and Wine on Amazon. Put: Keychain Ring Buddy Bottle Opener in and find the one that they offer. Don't use one with steel or the all steel kind, they will dimple the stainless. We will go over this when we install the drip rails on the '67 Mustang in the next few weeks as well.
Very nicely explained and near complete how to/informational!
but...
...Dude! you can certainly do without the "70s porn music!
But I LIKE porn music...
Never too late! Good ideas Gatling.
@gbx78 Great! Biggest thing is to make sure it is flat against the stainless. You can also round the outer edges (but not too much) that sit on the stainless to keep from dimpling them. We also will warn that some of the aftermarket stainless is less sturdy than the originals and can damage easier so be advised. Go slow and be careful!
@JBOOTZ4 Those are Rocket Racing Boosters 17x7s in Hyper Silver. We got them from Newstalgia Wheel. Also, we're running ZR245/45-17 BF Goodrich G-Force Sports.
Cool! We'll try that! Thanks for the tip!
Eucalyptus oil will remove the tape marks much better and safer. Also the dings that you hammered out which appear as pimples on the other side would be much safer to turn over the piece and use the flat hammer to push them back down while supporting the inderside with the edge of the anvil layed sideways. Taking a file to stainless steel could really mess up the piece and if it's 80's stainless, then you'll get down to the anodised layer.
Thanks for the input David! we appreciate it!
@AutoRestoMod Got it in the mail today and tried it out .. worked like a charm although i didnt notice is left little dings on some places cause the top end of the opener wasnt straight and had a "high" point :(( but your vid on polishing stainlesssteel shows how to sand and get them out .. theres no pimple on the underside so theres nothing to push back out .. so i hope sanding it will get it out.. THANKS!!!!!
This may be a little late, but removing the stickem from duct tape on stainless or other surfaces. Try "Goof off" with a suitable abrasive according to surface. It does remove more than just the stickem if other than metal. Well dried paint on cars it can be used carefully, but in that situation olive oil does wonders.
I need that trim on that falcon fender...
& the rest of it too
If we didn't need it for our car, we would sell it to you.
AutoRestoMod Car Restoration Modification wow didnt expect a response. I got it handled. Going to machine the trim .its cheaper than trying to find it all
is that the door drip rail at 18:00? for the life of my i have no idea how to get it off without damaging it. Can you do a quick well detailed vid on how to get it off :((
Thanks Silver! We are just a couple of guys trying to help the average Joe or Jane restore their car!
@gbx78 @gbx78 The one we're talking about is the best style. But we'll go into it more in the video.
@Lukinsfamily Thanks Luk!
@reijerlincoln MAN, we don't envy your task on that big ole gal. Not sure about the game, the theme is Protofunk form Kevin Mcleod's free use site incomptech. Nice guy, cool that he offers this stuff up for use. One day we hope to get him or someone to do an original blues funk theme!
Please use your tools right, files only cut in ONE direction. Go both ways you're only dulling your file.
Yes. You are right.
What wheels are those on the Mustang in the back?
Dumb Q: How to determine if a part is stainless or chrome plated?
@AutoRestoMod coolio thanks, ill order this one in the mean time and wait for the vids .. thanks again. keep up the good work. i cant wait to polish up my window moulds etc..
acetone and no gloves ,,,, that will deaden the nerve feelings in the fingers
Ibfinkyoubarerigbt.
@AutoRestoMod a few of the bottle openers ive tried just dont grip or grab onto it to pop it off but perhaps im doing it wrong. Ill check it out and look forward to seeing the upcoming videos. i enjoy them .. thanks for that! cheers
what's with the groovy back ground music?
The episode is seven years old. We were putting more background music in back then.
so relaxing ? its the most tedious boring job one can do !
Another great video, thanks! There's lots of stainless on my '64 Continental...
By the way, isn't your theme tune from the Gearhead Garage computer game?
wd40 removes adhesive way better than acetone!
