Re: 1951 Pontiac Chieftain
In this respect I do like America.
Imagine the same situation in England.

Re: 1951 Pontiac Chieftain
There would be much steepling of fingers and breath drawn in through teeth with a "Well there ain't no demand for that no more, is there?" style comment.
America has it's faults but I got what I needed, in a small town at 4:30 on a Friday afternoon.

Re: 1951 Pontiac Chieftain
Took the inner clamshell, removed the remains of the air seal.
Buzzed it down with the DA.
Rust treated it.
Finished up with a coat of semi gloss black.
Took all the screws and removed the rust from them in my drill.
Lined them all up like soldiers...
...and gave them a coat of gloss black.
Time has run out today, so that paint can all dry and I'll be able to reassemble the box, at least.

Re: 1951 Pontiac Chieftain
Also bought an electrical antenna to fit up front and some cloth looming tape like Mercedes Benz use (because I like the look of cloth looming tape).

Re: 1951 Pontiac Chieftain
Well, good news. Bumped into my neighbor last night and asked him about the welding- he said he'd take care of it. I need to make up some brackets, clean up the tops of the horns where they've festered a little and get crackin'

Re: 1951 Pontiac Chieftain
Not showing the first attempt, the second came out nice.
Tested for fitment, acceptable.
Bent to shape with mounting holes drilled.
Nice surprise, my antenna arrived a few days early.
