I've been receiving the list all day and just got the digest version! No
problems here.
As for the roadster sighting I guess I'm cheating because it was me. Took
off for ice cream with Kathy and saw a beautiful MGA at NAPA. Ran up for a
vanilla cone ( 25 cents a piece at McD's this week ) and ran back to NAPA.
It was a customers car of Daryl Wagner of Automotive Artistry. Daryl
restores mostly British cars, but once you get all the oil off of him, he is
really a nice guy. He was road testing ( Yeah right Daryl! ) the MGA after
a total rebuild.
From there Kathy and I took off for a run to the lake. Not many boats out
yet. As long as I was out that way, I stopped at J's Upholstery and asked
about having him install my new CDM soft top. Two months wait & $250. I
knew I would have to wait this time of year since it is the best shop around
and just a two man operation, but $250 sounded high. What's the going rate
out there?
One more set of questions and I'll get off the band. My valve cover has
developed a slight crack so I picked up another one. Before I install it, I
would like to polish or paint it. Any special prep work needed to paint it?
High temp paint? I tried some MOTHER'S aluminum polish on it and nothing
much happened other than the rag turned black. Same results with an ancient
can of BRASSO! What should I try if I decide to polish it? Or should I
just have Phil with SEROC machine me one from a billet?
TIA,
PAUL
