Pics for Tony and John-Peter

[fabmandan]

Tony, are these the clips you need?

John-Peter, not in the best of shape, but it's something. It's actually better than mine, the chrome is almost all peeled off. I'm going to paint it til I find a really nice one.

I find it amazing the number of blue cars I see on the site that were re-painted another color. Mine was the same color, the original owner felt like a sissy driving that robin's egg blue so he rattle canned it midnight blue.

That's not just any red paint. It's latex applied with a roller. You have to see it up close to really appreciate the beauty!

John-Peter, I was surfing Spridgets on ebay and saw a couple of nice grill-surround pieces listed there. You may want to take a look here: :thumbsup:

Ive had my Sprite for almost a year and Doug still hasn't seen it. I think it was my Scottish grandfather. He painted his old Dodge truck every year with red latex and a brush.

I know the long clip is one of the ones Tony needs. No clue on the others.

The big open item is what holds the brake line in place on the rear axel, it is brass. When you order now they send you plastic ties.

<span style="font-weight: bold">YES!!! YES!!!</span> They're the 3 things I need....

John-Peter...I've got a complete new grille surround I'm gonna be selling soon...dummy me didn't check my on hand stock when I started my '63.

 

[fabmandan]

Tony, PM your address. John-Peter, I would go with the one Tony has. The one I have probably could be maybe saved, but it is rough.

Thanks, Danm - you have a PM.

L to R: clip to hold fuel hard line to frame rail; clip to hold wiring harness to slam panel behind grille; brass clip to hold brake hard line to rear axle housing.

All little items to make "as built" correct!

Tony can you PM the info on the grille finishers?

thanks

[JPSmit]
