So I just realized that I'm about 2mos into my restoration, and don't really have a thread for the progress. I have my Floor Pan thread, but I'm done with that (for now) and need a place to put the REST of the work I'm doing.
I made up a bunch of posts, and will put them here, in this thread. I'll then keep going as I progress. Some of these pics are dupes that you have seen before in other threads, others are new. Here's the starting point, on Jan 12th, 2004. (IMG:http://www.hardman.org/pix/914_progress/914_progress-Images/1.jpg) |

There's a little round metal circular dealy in there with a hole in the center and relief cuts coming off of that. Like a speed nut sorta, I don't know the terminology off the top of my head. Bu thtese are really meant to be one time use probably. They push on to the plastic and dig in. That's why they break the plastic pins off oif the letters if'n you gorilla them. If you take a grinder to them, you won't be re-using 'em and I would imagine it would take some skill or practice to even do that without breaking the letter's pins.
