Or some Ford twist lock hood pins - https://www.summitracing.com/parts/sdk-c8zz16c896a?seid=srese1&ppckw=pmax-restoration&gclid=CjwKCAjw3P-2BhAEEiwA3yPhwHoJUKrAfynuaih8VmDuotThsB-vvmZU-YvpZdIyxft-FOk5ITtKvRoCB3sQAvD_BwE They'd match the silver stripes.

Work always required us to wear a harness when using one -

The skill is the most important. Skill will let you get those results even without the best equipment (which just makes the job easier/faster). Skill is looking at the paint viscosity as it runs off the stir stick and knowing if it's thin enough to lay down smoothly or too thick and you'll end...

50s sports cars are an art form of their own. I've got a friend who builds the Lister/Corvette. But he uses fiberglass and has produced about 30 - He's also done the 904 Porsche and 1,000s of Porsche 550s https://forums.aaca.org/topic/386687-chuck-beck-1958-lister-corvette/

They call them AED over here. Most businesses and public places like stores, theaters, arenas, etc have them placed around for easy access. An AED, or automated external defibrillator, is used to help those experiencing sudden cardiac arrest. It's a sophisticated, yet easy-to-use, medical device...

Don, here's a new idea for your phone booth....... Interestingly, this traditional red British phone booth has been repurposed into a publicly accessible defibrillator. The defibrillator is located in the village of Upper Slaughter in Gloucestershire, England.

It must be a 1959 which is a little paler than the 1958 Panama Yellow

Looks like Panama Yellow under florescent lights. The bluish tint of the lighting makes it have a greenish cast. The front area of the fender looks right it may be catching some daylight from a window or open door.

You need a SoCal Red Car. The successful rapid transit system whose demise was depicted in Disney's Roger Rabbit. The Pacific Electric Railway Company, nicknamed the Red Cars, was a privately owned mass transit system in Southern California consisting of electrically powered streetcars...

Our area requires X and recommends C. "Normal" drywall doesn't have the fiberglass strands in it so it will not hold together as well in the heat.

Different rules/laws for different areas. His was signed off with no fire break. Your code seems to require 1/2" our code requires 5/8" fire rated.

Probably not to code but I have 3, 220v outlets, on one 40 amp line/breaker. One is for the compressor another for welder, plasma cutter and wife's dryer, I also had the EV car charger wired to it. I have a 40' extension cord so I can move all over the garage or even in front of it when needed...

Use the age as a guide. Those old looking (darker) ones are part of the original structure. They are there to keep the side wall from bowing out. You'll need to figure out (engineer) a way to replace them while still supporting the wall. The newer ones (lighter) were added for storage and to...

I suspect they were 3 rows deep around your car all day. It's a stunner. Saturday we went to Thunderfest in Covina. We knew going in none of our 5 "Pomona As" cars would be considered. But we had a good time socializing.

I'd love to see that Lincoln V12 get the Ferrari intake manifold treatment with 1/2 dozen Strombergs.

A labor intensive process. When I started stripping our 1966 Shelby Hertz car I discovered its second paint job was a very nice candy apple red. It had a black primer over the original red (yes they made about 200 Hertz cars that weren't black) then the silver and finally a translucent red. It...

I see an English Wheel in your future.

It was well worth the drive. That little bit of pin stripping at the bottom really completes it.

I grew up in West Covina. We'd watch the pre parade and start on TV then drive over to where the parade ended and watch them arrive where they got parked for a couple days of viewing. Now they charge to see them parked. When I was a teen in the late 60s we'd cruise the parade route all night...

Sand blaster and paint booth are just luxuries that make the job go easier and quicker. It's the skill level that makes it possible.
