Finally Got Some Snow

[AMC74Hornet@xxxxxxxxx (Mr. AMC)]

We got hit with about 2 inches drifting with very high winds and some
ice under it here in lower N.Y., up north some places got 6-8 or even 10
inches. They can keep it. By tuesday with the warm weather back and with
rain forecast it will all be gone again by wednesday. With both Hornet's
in different shops I have a project to work on for my orange Hornet.
Restoring the 2 aluminum door sill plates. I picked the best 2 out of
the 6 I have. So far in 3 days I have about 9 hours in just one picking
out and straightening 32 years of dings and dents. Then comes the hard
part sanding out all the scratches with 400#,600#,1000# and crocus cloth
sand paper. Next is to polish them with a metal polish I have from
Eastwood Restoration called AUTOSOL. They will then look like chrome. A
final touch of non original AMC but a personal touch of detailing by me
is to paint the recessed American Motors letters on the sill plate
orange to match the car. At best even with all this work the best I feel
I can achieve is they will look 80-85% as good when they were new. But
unfortunately they will have to do unless I can find a NOS set, and then
my wife won't be allowed in the car because she will step on the pass
side one for sure. But then again this is not going to be a 100 point
show car when I am finished, but a really exceptional nice driver. My
son say's they make repo ones for his Javelin's. :-(((~~
