Re: [Amc-list] more information on my 63 770

Adam,

It's unlikely that an accident would have damaged the engine. Chances 
are that any accident that server would have done major structural 
damage to the car and most likely killed everyone involved. A hood and 
grille, on the other hand, could have been from a mild accident.

The vinyl and plastic parts need to be painted with a special paint made 
just for the job. SEM is one brand that has excellent products for dying 
vinyl and plastic (make sure you use their prep solution and follow the 
directions exactly). For metal parts, you can use regular spray paint 
but it will not be as durable as the factory paints (the SEM stuff will 
be okay). I'm not sure what type of paint the factory used on steering 
wheels but I would not use a lacquer based paint (which is what most 
spray paint is) since the solvents are very aggressive.

As far as the seat materials go, that's up to you. Cloth inserts were 
available from the factory and with a little bit of research, I'm sure 
you could dig up what they looked like. Which ever way you go, I would 
stick with a factory style for stitching.
