Default Spot Welder

I have seen those Mitch. Ive considered it but I like being able to clamp panels together with vise grips and do the plug welds. The ones GM used were strong enough to basically act vise grips. Over the years ive become proficent at getting my plug welds to look like spots. Doesnt always work, and when it doesnt i grind and then go back and create dimple that looks like a spot. Ive also noticed unless you buy a professional large unit they wont create the large deformed dimples along the bottom and up the back of the rockers the factory did.

They normaly dont fall into place. I start with the door gap and then work my way back. I probably pull the quarter on and off the car 20 to 30 times before i do a final install and clamp. Sometimes you have to massage things. Even after its installed a block of wood and small hand sledge can be pretty handy to get areas like the deck lid fitting to the quarter.

Default SMS Seat Covers

SMS actually got me my headliner a few weeks back. The seat covers finally arrived this week. I had been hearing from others about long lead teams but my experience was only a few months. Door panels are yet to arrive. Im really happy they included head reast covers as well. Not something I have seen with PUI or Legendary.

Default Spindle and Brake factory marks

The calipers had some very light traces of factory paint marks on only one side. I also found some torque marks near the brake lines.

The spindles were fun because they have all kinds of different colors and neither side matches the other. On one spindle there is black and blue, while the other side is cream, blue and violet

Default Axles

The axles sadly are trashed as the bearing surfaces are flaking. That being said still found some yellow marks on both axles beneath the brake dust.

Default Brake Line Clips

Ive seen other cars that utilize p clips and bolts for the brake line. My car actually had the older style clips. They still had some mustard color under the brake line but were mostly rust. Still very good shape and cleaned up nicely. I also noted the assembly manual showes p clips and bolts.

Those 3 clips are from that frame ? Did u restore them already and if so how? Your frame looks like it will clean up real good.
