My  Tips  &  Tricks

 To imitate upper ball joint rivets, use button head bolts. Fill allen  head slot
with bondo. Sand and paint with Eastwood 10281z  zink phos.paint.

 I use Rust-oleum bright coat aluminum #7715 for a silver zinc look alike.

 For black zinc look alike, mopar dash paint sprayed dry.  PPG- Dia 9324.

 VHT flat aluminum header paint looks  like galvanizing. Mist a little silver on top to make speckles.

 Stainless steel cotter keys in front suspension.They don't rust.

 Rain-x    makes old tail light lens look like new.

COMMON GM HORNS

67-68 Camaro # 477 L & # 214 H

69-72 Camaro # 289 L & # 290 H

68-72 Chevelle # 279 L & # 280 H

64-67 Corvette # 487 L & # 488 H

The part numbers and date codes are stamped in the corners of the trumpets.

Dates = year / month / week

9A2 = 69 / Jan / week 2

All GM production line horns had spot welded brackets. Horns with large nuts holding the brackets on are replacements. There are no NOS horns. Production horns have the welded brackets and replacements do not.

If anyone tells you to put oil into a non-working horn hook up to a battery hit with a hammer. Don't do it. It seldom works The oil gets into the metal and contaminates my blast media and causes paint to fish eye.The dents must be filled with bondo.Deep dents can change tone.
