i broke off several bolts and back nuts taking off one of the inner fenders. Where did you find replacements?

Rick you can come on down anytime you feel like it. That nut broke from a front hole believe it or not just got under and held it with the vice grips. I like your pop rivet idea and assume a larger piece of thicker gauge metal would work just fine behind that crack?

Changed oil, purchased 4 x Gabriel shocks that we'll put on this weekend as we change the front inner fenders.

Short day as I don't normally like working on Sunday aside from cleaning cars etc. changed out the original wiper arms , new blades, and got the glow plugs changed. The plugs were not swollen but we were getting hard starts etc. and looked like the original plugs. We also cleaned the wire...

It is a WWII Chemical Alarm, made for the US Chemical Warfare Service. It is loud!

Thanks Tim, close on the guess.

I bought mine off Govdeals.com from a local police department and they'd purchased it from Ft Knox. I'm in mine for about what your budget is but I must warn you about the addiction. Good luck.

Got wiper arms and new blades, and glow plugs to do tomorrow. We also have the inner fenders to do. I wanted to add a photo of an upcoming project for restoration. Any guesses as to what it is?

Today my Son and I spent cleaning and working the new seats we scalped from a Mini Van at the pull it place yesterday. They are the second row seats, but exactly what we were looking for; just $60 for the pair. Had to do some modification of the base and clean the new ones up of all the kiddy...

Rick I know you did this just for my son and I. And we are grateful. :clinto:

Got the urethane one. It's very rubbery. Can't paint it but they have like 5 colors. The original was too far gone for a cover. Went to the pull it and found some seats (hope they fit) and lucked up to find an ashtray insert.

NPD has covers as well as two replacement types. Went with the less expensive because we are not looking for an original look.

Got finished with the dash last night and wanted to show how good it looks. Last photo is the old dash to give you a better visual. Not the oem dash from LMC but a repro from NPD and we had to punch a few holes but the black looks good in my opinion. We are going to a pull a part today in...

Started out trying to get the dash done. Mostly because my son was geeked up to do it. I went with the non-OEM poly replica in black. First you'll see what was behind it, second is how bad the dash looks after we got it out, and what the replacement looks like in the box. Ran out of light so...

Look what came in the big brown panel van today. New dash pad and front inner fenders from National Parts Depot.

Sorry but I love the fuel filler cover. You should make me one.

Amazon has those plugs at just under $9/each with free shipping.

One of my Senior Maintenance NCOs told me the same thing about vise grips and a pry bar. Said he'd come over if I got one stuck just for good measure.

Thaks from here also; wife went by the local chevy place today and they quoted $17.72/ea plug. Holy Snails batman. That about right?

Thanks very much for the information; I always cut too big and trim downward if needed. Looking on the other thread, I have a dang good idea on how to proceed with rocker panels and those two rear holes. Have you ever thought of using PVC pipe for a gas filler cover? I hate paying LMC for...
