Paint code 29: Stands for my blue is the best there is. :-)"

Norman Silverman commented on Norman Silverman's blog post Original 64 Color sanded and buffed out"Bought it 7 or 8 months ago. Since purchase I've replaced the tires and the exhaust system, and had it polished. I sent the Transducer and Power Module from the Comfortron system out to be evaluated/repaired. Turns out the Transducer works…"
Jeff Kinzler commented on Norman Silverman's blog post Original 64 Color sanded and buffed out"Norman,
My personal favorite is the 4 window SDV. I think it's the sportiest looking of the hardtop models, a truly handsome and elegant design and yours is a standout!
Have you done much work in the car? Owned it a long time? Does your car…"
Jason Edge commented on Norman Silverman's blog post Original 64 Color sanded and buffed out"Yep, great color! My favorite colors are in the teal/aqua/turquoise family. "
Norman Silverman commented on Norman Silverman's blog post Original 64 Color sanded and buffed out"I found it: Paint code 29: PPG/Ditzler code 12701: Turino Turquoise."
Norman Silverman commented on Norman Silverman's blog post Original 64 Color sanded and buffed out"It is definitely not just a blue, but I'll check it out with the trim codes when I can get to the car (probably tomorrow). Thanks."
Jason Edge commented on Norman Silverman's blog post Original 64 Color sanded and buffed out"The interior sort of looks like the standard light blue found with cars that are Beacon Blue (Paint Code 22), although the exterior sunlight picture shows a tinge of green (aqua) which would put it close to the Firemist Aquamairine (Paint code 94)…"
Norman Silverman commented on Norman Silverman's blog post Original 64 Color sanded and buffed out"Thanks, Jeff. I don't remember the name of the color, if that's what you are asking. If it is important to you, I will try to look it up via the body plate. Just tell me and I'll do it. It is a combination of aqua and…"
Jeff Kinzler commented on Norman Silverman's blog post Original 64 Color sanded and buffed out"The body/detail shop can put a wax, polish and "glaze" on the car that will make it very shiny. I had the same procedure done on my very "basic" white single stage enamel paint job, and the final polishing made the paint…"
Jeff Kinzler commented on Norman Silverman's blog post Original 64 Color sanded and buffed out"A beautiful car. What color is it?"
Norman Silverman commented on Norman Silverman's blog post Original 64 Color sanded and buffed out"Thanks for the insight, Jason. Looks like I will wind up buying a replacement from you. I had hoped to be able to do the repair without taking the mechanism out, but that does not seem like it is in the cards. I guess I'm just lucky that the…"
Jason Edge commented on Norman Silverman's blog post Original 64 Color sanded and buffed out"The release lever is attached with a rivet. When the release arm metal is compromised and starts to bend you can straighten and weld to reinforce it, however, I have never welded one completely back on. Someone that can work with rivets could take a…"
Norman Silverman commented on Norman Silverman's blog post Original 64 Color sanded and buffed out"Thank you, Christopher. After seeing what it looked like "before", I'm literally amazed.
Yes, I'm sure Jason has an assembly. What I'd like to do (if possible) is just replace the "plate" that the arm was…"

I finally got the car back from the body shop, where they color sanded and polished it out. I am literally blown away by the result! Now, it looks great from 2 feet but if you look REALLY CLOSE you can see that the paint is not as glossy as it should be, but Sothe end result is much better than what I started with. The interior is still original.NormPS the body shop guy broke off the manual emergency brake release. How tough is it to JUST replace that part?…See More
Norman Silverman commented on Norman Silverman's blog post Source for Replacement Radiator for my 64 with AC"Thanks. Beautiful, fresh green antifreeze and a properly timed/tuned car. No, this is simply a case of radiator fatigue, which I confirmed with my laser temperature gauge; cool spots in a couple of places suggest blockages. Not enough to overheat…"

64 4 Window rear door-door panel removal. Caveats?
Posted on October 28, 2018 at 4:03pm 8 Comments 0 Likes
While waiting for my AC transducer and power module to come back, I started to pay a little attention to the rear door window, which works but gets hung up (the back goes up higher than the front and I have to lift the front while it is coming up). I am guessing the front of the scissors is out of the track and needs to be put back-but I'm not sure and won't be till I get a look at what's happening in the door. …
Continue HVAC Vacuum Valve Clip-need the one for the Power Control side
Posted on September 17, 2018 at 8:15pm 58 Comments 1 Like
Hi.
Update:
I removed both 7 nipple vacuum valves and called my buddy who owns a machine shop. Tomorrow we'll re-surface the valve faces and then I'll reinstall them. HOWEVER, the one that comes out easily and comes apart with no rivet is on the Power module side. It installs on one side with a small bolt, and on the other it is held on by a clip, WHICH IS MISSING ON MY CAR. I am going to assume it is the same clip that is used on the Control Module side. Anybody got one? Happy…
