58-64 Full Size Body Tech

4SPEED427 · 4SPEED427

There was a thread with discussion on where to locate emblems on a particular vehicle. Todd has suggested that there be a section in each of the separate forums for particular models, so I will start one in each of those sections. If you are able to assist with specs on body emblem placement for the model...

Just testing the waters about re-casting some Custom Sport trim pieces. I have found a couple of the lower trim finishing caps and was thinking about having them re-cast. I dont have a full set yet only 2 of the 4 but maybe someone here could step up with 1 or more samples. They would be used to make a mole so...

I know I'm the dumb one here but are 64 Custom Sport grills a stand alone item?? I see that they look like 63 grills but not quite. As I surf around I notice all kinds of ads with all kinds of conflicting descriptions and pics regarding "Custom Sport" in 1964. I am referring to Canadian models....For some r...

Thought I'd start a new topic for this incase anyone wants to follow along and to help me find previous post on the topic. The main floor pan has been in for a while, it was blasted, treated to 2 coats of POR-15 inside and out and the underside then had 2 finish coats of paint to match the body. Pretty sure I...

Had a question from George about the letters on the mouldings, how are they fastened? Heres pictures of the front and back side of the front fender and rear trunk Parisienne mouldings. Pretty sure they are cast into the pot metal mouldMings, not changeable.

So it was a glorious fall day in November, here in Manitoba yesterday. I thought: "Hey! Procrastination Pays!" I still had the road insurance on the '64, so Mrs. and I took a cruise up a nice back road (paved). But some big, ugly, old dump truck wasn't too happy about that and threw a nice rock off the back...

You never know what someone has until you ask. I am looking for a good set of rear drop downs that go from the trunk pan to the bottom of the rear quarters. Chevy is just to different to bother trying to modify. If worst comes to worst we'll make them but would rather save the time if someone out there happ...

Does anyone know the proper thread pitch for the bolt that holds the battery hold down bracket to the radiator support? I've got a new bracket as the current bungie cord is visually unappealing. I have a variety of bolts and pitches but nothing is threading in smoothly. Trying not to cross thread this t...

This is more of question for the entire board but I couldn't figure out where to post it. Has anyone ever had luck repairing the posts on an old pot metal emblem? I finally found a trunk emblem for my 59 parisienne but unfortunately most of the posts broke off when it was removed. I bought it anyway, as I don...

Hi all, trying to install some new rear quarter window leading edge seals I got from rubbertherightway and I'm struggling. Took awhile to get the old ones out as the steel insert in the rubber had rusted through. Got it all out and everything is clean but the new seals are pretty tight and I don't think th...

Looking for a 1959 Parisienne trunk emblem. Currently have what looks to be a Laurentian emblem and a bunch of holes where the Parisienne one should be.

I need rear quarter panels and Nor/Am seem to be the only source, but they never answer the phone only offer to phone back. Since I'm often in a different day let alone in a different time zone and they would be phoning international, the chances of my phone ringing when I'm awake or even near it are very...

My hood has bad rust along the front end. There is quite a bit of rust between the hood brace and the hood itself. I took the plunge today and drilled out almost 100 spot welds and popped the two apart. Have one side of the hood patched now and a good start on replacing the leading edge of the brace. When all th...

I'm in the process of replacing/building the floor sections on the 58 Pathfinder Sedan Delivery. I am planning on leaving the bench seat, the only seat in this beast. The question is, what have others done as far as installing seat belts for these older cars. I would think lap belts woul...
