  1. I'm installing hood pins and have a question about cutting the holes in my hood. I drilled a hole large enough for the pin to go through, but now I need to cut a larger hole for the receiver to fit in. I was going to use a hole saw, until I realized that I had no center guide so the hole saw just wants to crawl around. I guess I could dremel it, but it might not be the prettiest of holes (although it would be covered by the receiver flange). Any other suggestions?

  2. This is an old thread, but thought I'd resurrect it rather than starting new one. I'm trying to install the plastic rivets on my grille. I got the top 3 to set using a hard plastic mallet. However, the bottom two are sunk into the grille, so I can't make contact with the mallet, plus these connect to the pot metal tabs on the headlight buckets, so I'm afraid to get too rough, else they'll break. Any suggestions?


  3. I was just reading your post again .If those are the two nuts at the bottom of the slide track for the quarter window  they are a crimped  in nut like the hood hinge nut on the inner fender aprons . You can drill another hole beside the missing nut and slip in a fender clip ,i have had to do that before when i could not weld one in .

    Ridge, this a square hole in the rocker that the bottom adjustment bracket attaches to. See pic.

  4. Or maybe it's cage nut... I'm missing the cage nut that attaches the quarter window regulator assembly to the body at the bottom (374251-S). Anyone have on laying around they would part with? AMK carries them, p/n B-12033, but they have a minimum $30 order. I haven't found them on any of the usual parts sites.

     

    And while I'm asking, I'm also looking for a door lock rod, the one that goes from the key lock to the latch (middle one in attached pic).

  5. I'm finally getting the hood mounted on the car. Everything lined up really well! However, I'm not sure about using the stock hinges. When I tried to pull the hood down, it felt like I was going to break the hood. When it made a small "pop" sound, I stopped. I don't think anything was damaged, but decided to consult you guys before I proceed.

     

    I did have the hinges powder coated. Would that make them initially stiffer? Would lubrication help? MikeStang, are you running stock hinges on your hood?


  6. Dang it! I was tightening up the final nut on the bottom of the driver's side fender extension, when I felt the nut loosen up and discovered the stud has broken in two. So, any suggestions for the best way to remove the broken stud from the fender extension? It broke off so that I can't grab it. I'd sure like to get it out without trashing the threaded hole. Help!
