I'm back too.. but wish I was not,
Has not stopped snowing since I got home
Mon. am and is still snowing now!
no build up but darn annoying.
Peter Fredsal in Daytona beach is our movie man and has allot of good film
from past meets etc.
I always send him copies of any thing I take. in turn he sent me a copy of
that( cotton pickin chicken film.....yuck!)
Only had one problem with my Amphicar down in FL... the door hindge,(lower)
sheared the pivot shaft right off which made closing the door fun but it did
stay water tight.
I am now in the process of repairing it.. that's even more fun.
the Hinges were welded into place before the front fender was installed so
in order to drill out the old pin, you must remove the seat, steering wheel.
side triangle. and door.
then get a light and you face in that small area and drill out the remains
with a tiny angle drill.I was able to remove the lower half with a air
chisel. Today I will but a new shaft and bushings as in most domestic cars
and reinstall!
To prevent this from happening to your car I recommend that you oil these
hinges once a year.To do this you must remove the Triangle kick panels.or
maybe go in threw the trunk, If you do not have the Fender type blower.
(Teck tip for you to print ED)
I sent a Clock plate out to Jim Davies in Rochester and I think he almost
has new face decals ready for them, Let me know if you would like to have
some and will put them on order.
