I?m sure there are products out there that will strip it off but I?m not sure you would want those products soaking into the wood panel. I assume you want to refinish your dash. You may want to just block sand the dash and then refinish it as you like. You might want to try the refinishing product on a sanded area to make sure it does not lift any of the original finish.

If you have the modern plastic ones there is normally a bit of a gap and Terrys suggestion of using something behind the trim as a shield is a good idea. something like a thin acetate sheet slid behind and then taped in place would work fine that way you can use a metal polish or jeweler's rouge to brighten the trim without getting it on the paint. The more difficult one in some ways is polishing the paint up to the edge of the side trim with the same intensity as you can with the more open areas of the body.. the small 1inch polishers are ok for that.. but a PITA. I had considered sticking my side trims on with body tape, but figured if i did it would always be hard to polsih the paint properly up to the edge.

Perhaps a quick R&R system for the fender scripts to enable off-the-car attention remains a bridge too far. But repeatedly removing them from the standard mounting hardware is too risky. Since the badging on my car fits tight to the body, the option of working on the chrome in-situ would require the use of an incredibly thin insert like shim stock. But I can't buy shim stock locally and sharp metal could also do damage. I finally settled on a shim of photographic film. Depending on age and format it can be of various thicknesses but I found standard 35mm film with one row of guide holes cut off worked well. It was strong enough to force behind the lettering, soft enough to not damage anything and tough enough to withstand any type of cleaning or maintenance you might want to do - while completely protecting adjacent paint. With a fresh coat of wax now applied, we're ready to start doing battle with the elements again! Terry -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

If that bracket doesn?t work you can probably reshape it to work or else make one.

Message-ID: <000001d7241f$f144c100$d3ce4300$@mayfco.com> First, the free stuff: When I started racing on the salt flats, somehow I managed to collect 4 sets of heads from various displacement small blocks. Two sets are of interest: one set is from a 351, they are cast iron Z units. I think these were a low buck upgrade to better flowing heads than either the 260 or 289 heads available at the time. The other set is from a Cleveland motor: big open chamber critters and humongous intake runners and ports. Has the same head bolt pattern and the bore spacing is the same. The Cleveland heads are BARE except for one stuck valve. 351 heads a repopulated with everything, springs, valves, retainers, etc. No idea how good they are. Rusty. BUT both sets of heads are FREE. But I will not ship, so if you fancy them, you gotta come get 'em. I also have some 302 heads, and maybe a set of 260 heads, I didn't look. All of them are also free as well. Free because that was how they all come to me. Stuff for sale: I have a posi that fits the low gear range. Has a 4.55 ring and pinion set to go along with it. I had it installed in a rear end and ran it in my car for a very short while. That is because that takes a lot of rpm to run at highway speeds with that kind of final gear ratio. Be really good for autocross probably. Not sure what it and gears are worth, but they are surplus to me. If an honest offer is not received, I will simple hang onto them until it is time for me to sell my car. And al of it will go with the car. So make me an offer within the next couple of weeks and if reasonable you just might own the things. Also, the Worlds Fastest Sunbeam is for sale as a roller. Engine, electricals, transmission are not included. The engine was damaged a bit in a prior to record run (I burned holes on three pistons, lol) scored the cylinder walls, and crank as well. The I broke the bell housing on the tranny. I have a Mexican 302 block which will get the parts from the record engine to make a good serious engine. The tranny will either have the bell housing welded up or the case replaced. But will remain as a pair. The car is open for offers: you will get everything. Fire suit, fire bottles, parachute, seat, engine radiator in a box with a supplemental 10 gallon trunk tank and a 35 gm Meziere transfer pump do that. , rear spoiler, all wheels and tires although tires are original to my racing efforts which started in 2006. It has a frame of my design to stretch the wheelbase 4 inches and Art Morrison in Fyfe, Washington, welded it up for me. Has McPherson front struts, a narrowed ford 9 inch and all corners have Wilwood disk brakes, but probably not migratable to a tiger. Fuel pump, gas tank, fuel filters, but no dash or electricals. You wouldn't like how I did things anyway, lol. As with the posi, make me an honest offer and it may be yours. I am 79 years old with heart issues so I do want to get rid of it . Rear suspension is Aldan coil over adjustable shock and springs. Front struts are adjustable as well, I have a steering slow downer box on the steering shaft and the rack and pinion is a Flaming River unit. I will consider letting the turbo intercooler, pump, and ice box go as well if the overall offer is ok, no turbo though, My last effort t was a NA engine anyway. Included is a NexGen Hans device which is adjustable for lay back, and probably some other bits and pieces as well. Helmet? Yeah, log book, yeah, Oh, yeah, two new Weld Racing 15 x 10 wide wheels with tires mounted on them. Fire sit is complete, booties, gloves, jacket, pants, undies, balaclava. Also the seat belts are there as well. . But likely need to be re-inspected. I even have a rusty nearly gone hard top which is so far beyond my skills that it goes with this race car. I wanted it for that but turns out that the host organizations insist that they be very firmly attached. This is so for from that that not worth it to me at the time. It was given to me so I will include similarly. Bring a trailer, lol. Offers, just to keep things on the up and ups, let's make any offers to me in writing and cc the tiger list as well. No cc and I consider it a no offer. And for goodness sakes, reasonable offers, lol. Hope one of you does want it for a fair price. Let's make it open for offers until tax day (say April 15th?) give or take a day or so? Mayf Pahrump, NV -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
