I'm really need a rust free front clip, Both fenders,
nose piece, radiator support, valence, etc. Surprising
the inner fenders appear OK. The front frame rails
are bent out but can be straightened.
I may have located a source at the TE/AE United
last weekend. I have to go and look. Rust free parts
for our cars is getting very very difficult to find. Finding
somebody to do the work will be another story. I'm
looking into heating my garage.
So far all I have got is a new repro LAT hood to replace
the original LAT hood. It is a psychological move on my
part to tell myself I'm on the way to fixing it. I have left
everything else as is. I have known too many people
who have disassembled their cars only to have parts
grow legs and disappear. When the time comes I will
bag, box, photograph, tag, mark, etc everything.
The expert is a fellow coworker. I wanted someone
who was well qualified so that others would take the
memo seriously.
One has to ask, Do I dismiss this warning as I know
many people who have been using and racing with
delron for years? Or do I listen to what an expert
is advising? You can be driving with cracked pins
for years. There is no outward sign to look for until
that day when stress finally cracks the pins too far,
and then its too late.
I'm glad you read the article. I hope you don't
have delron bushings as you have so work to do.
Already one lister has replied that he was just a
week away from putting delron bushing in. Maybe
I saved his car/life.
