Well, I did as requested and was puzzled by what came up, a camero with a
factory correct hemi orange paint job. Gm + hemi + paint, and I'm
scratching
my head.
On topic to the original intent of the message, WOW, lets everyone pool

Subject: Taking the dent out!
Hi all,
Wanted to know if anyone has any experience or has any opinions on the
dent pulling systems that are availale to buy these days.
There are a couple tools that i have come across. One from Snap-on and
the other from Mac Tools. They are basically pin / spot welders that
work with a slide hammer. They also do shrinking. The only difference
between the two is that the snap-on spot welds the copper tip of the
slide hammer on the car and doesn't use pins.
Do these type of machines work well with the heavier gauge metal cars of
the 50's and 60's?

Subject: Re: Taking the dent out!
Hello Group-
My good friend that did my body work on my K hardtop and is starting
on
my convertible uses a "gun" that electrically welds a copper coated pin on
to the sheet metal and then uses a special dent puller that pulls on these
"studs" for lack of a better description. They worked very well pulling a
crease and a few dents out of my K and I have watched him used it on 50's
and other 60's cars with great success. Unlike a slide hammer that you
have
to drill a hole first and them screw a tip into the metal and start
hammering, this set up does not stretch the metal near as much and you
just
take a side cutter and cut off the stud, and a few seconds with a grinder
and you never know it was there- other than your dent is pulled to the
point
you use filler to finish the work. I have seen him use it with very nice
results. Like anything else you need to practice to get the hang of it,
but
once you use it you won't ever want to use a old style slide hammer again.

Subject: Re: Re: MORE ON MOPar
Hello to all-
I have a large two page ad out of a late 60's Look magazine that shows
half of the front end of a 62 Ford and a 62 Chevy. The caption on the ad
reads" Introducing the new 62 Ford and the new 62 Chevrolet!" " Made new
using Mopar replacement parts". Without going and digging it out some of
the
other info in this ad says parts included paint, trim, engine and
suspension
parts etc. So it would appear that Chrysler made or bought after market
parts for other makes to market under the Mopar name into the late 60's.
There was a Mopar distributor(store) in Billings, Mt. for a number of
years,
closed in the late 60's or very early 70's and the sign (it was green and
white) was on the building into the early 90's before it disappeared- and
no
it was not me that got it! Don't know more about the Mopar name than
what
has been gone over here from time to time. Joe Pierce 300J+Kx3+M+others

Subject: freeze plug problem
I have a problem!! I finished " Gretie" last fall (aug) and seem to be
blowing freeze plugs in the passenger side head behind the exhaust
manifold. I put in the 3rd one last week with less then 2000 miles since
total rebuild. Engine man says this is the nature of the beast. Any
helpful hints??
Gretie is my 61 300 G convertable that I have asked previously. I am
afraid to get out of town until I cure this. I also checked the thermostat
and is ok at 180 degrees, radiator cap is new and at 7 lbs. Do you have
any thoughts or help.

Subject: Ignition wires 101 - resistance?
Silly questions:
Does lower plug/ wire resistance mean more/better spark?
Is reduced radio interference the (only?) reason for higher resistance?
For an old V8 car with dual points & no radio, what are the best
performance
wires & plugs y'all have used?
I ask these questions for 2 applications. One, a 413, the other a 392. I
wondered if they'd run better with different wires/plugs. Many thanks &
happy Spring. mv

Subject: Re: Ignition wires 101 - resistance?
Mike,
Lower resistance in the plug wires does not necessarily mean ''better''
spark, but you might say it provides ''longer'' spark. The higher
resistance wires provide a longer spark duration, which is beneficial in
many engines and has been in use now for quite a long time. My advice is
to
use the same type wire the manufacturer used originally. I believe at
least
the earlier letter cars had traditional stranded copper wire core, and I
just put a set from Andy Bernbaum in my 'C.' But I'd welcome input from
others as to whether this type wire was original with these cars.

Gary,
I have set stubborn, disc type, expansion plugs using JB weld epoxy as a
sealant. Worked great, and I would use a brass plug for maximum life.
