Re: SD> 89 Dakota wheel
I saw (and held) one that Tim Costello had done by American Stitches in Mesquite Texas. It was superb!!The leather was tight, but soft to the touch. It felt so good to the touch, I didn't want to put it down. If I had a steering wheel like that in my car, I would want to go on long trips just so I could steer. The wheel he had done was one of the wood grain wheels, so the leather was only on the sides of the rim, but did extend to the rubber part of the center spokes. The stitches were top quality, the fit was perfect.They will cover entire wheels also.

Re: SD> Alternator conversion
I don't recall that article, so it must have been before my time. I don't know whether you are talking about converting to the Nippendenso alternator though. That is what I did on my 86 GLHT and the only other thing needed (besides the alternator) was the lower mount and adjuster from an 88 & up car. I had to trim some of the plastic insulator on the big lead as it couldn't be bolted on as it was (what needs to be trimmed off is very apparent). To select the alternator to use, I just went to a discount auto parts store and bought one off the shelf. I did my first pass of selection in the book to get the model numbers used on the later cars, and then I started opening boxes till I found one with the same number of grooves in the belt pulley. It was easy. Barry > > I wanted to ask if anyone out there has the list of parts (with > part numbers) to do the 90amp alternator conversion on an > L body.

RE: SD> Has anyone ever shipped GLH sideskirts and front air dam?
Keep in mind that GLH parts are extremely flexible and relatively light weight, so I think that you shouldn't nee much for shipping materials except a simple box and some bubble wrap. Greyhound has a decent freight service. UPS, FedEx, USPS and DHL all have size and weight limits.

Re: SD> Has anyone ever shipped GLH sideskirts and front air dam?
I see that my reply only went to howard, so I'll post up my experience here for all to read: Ship Greyhound! Once something goes over 60" FedEx basically doubles or triples the charge. Plug in a 59" long package, a 60" long package and a 61" long package in their rate calculator, you'll see! I just shiped a rear bumper (62x14x28) from FL to CA on Greyhound for $32! I also recently shipped a header panel and lower valance from a Thunderbird Turbo Coupr for $38 from FL to DC, FedEx wanted $210, because f it's size. Greyhound allows up to 84" one direction, ad 100lbs per delivery. I've shipped a complete interior via Greyhound for VERY cheap.

Re: SD> Has anyone ever shipped GLH sideskirts and front air dam?
I shipped a GLH front airdam from Connecticut to the midwest via UPS. It cost $96.00 United Parcel Service. I constructed my own cardboard box with $10 worth of clear package tape. The sideskirts were much cheaper to ship. Vic --- David Salamone <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I've got a real nice set I'm planning to sell but > wow is it long.

Re: SD> 89 Dakota wheel
I did alot of research on another leather wheel restoration company that had an extensive resume of experience and was lower priced. To check out the quality of their work (because I was interested in using them as a vendor) I had them first do a 3 spoke Shelby Dakota wheel. The craftsmanship seemed decent but they used the wrong grain of leather. I was also interested in having them redo the 1987-88 four spoke wheels (that were not originally covered in leather) so I sent one out. What I finally got back after way too many "we'll get it right out's" what finally arrived was a joke. They didn't put the seams where I requested and glued on leather patches around the spokes instead of wrapping it. I had them redo it but it still was still substandard when I finally got it back. There are few companies that are skilled enough to properly recover a steering wheel so I'd say American Stitches is the way to go.

SD> Thanks, and 86 GLHT paint completed in flat black epoxy
First off, thanks to everyone who replied to my email about removing the door handles, and bumper brackets. I did get them removed and do appreciate the help (and yes Andy, I probalby do need a FSM for this car ;) ) SO, I did get my 86 GLHT painted this weekend, with a nice flat black epoxy, PPG DP40 Black Epoxy Primer to be exact. This is a very durable paint, UV resistant, and IMO has a very nice look on the car. It wont fade in the sun light like many "normal" primers will, and it is considered the ultimate primer/sealer for lots of body shops. Paint prep is the same as for any other paint. We may have gone a bit overboard in that we removed everything from the cars exterior except the tail lights, head lights, and fog lights. The car was wet sanded all over with 400, then taped off, washed, wiped down, tacked clothed, and then shot. It turned out great for any paint, and super-dee-duper for primer ;). and yes, this is the FINAL coat/color. Other than some minor body work, this is how the car will be. No fancy-schmancy clean coats or base coats for me. Here are some before and after pictures: Before: http://www.joink.com/homes/users/cooke/86GLH/86GLHT-paint-before-1.jpg http://www.joink.com/homes/users/cooke/86GLH/86GLHT-paint-before-3.jpg http://www.joink.com/homes/users/cooke/86GLH/86GLHT-paint-before-4.jpg http://www.joink.com/homes/users/cooke/86GLH/86GLHT-paint-before-6.jpg After: http://www.joink.com/homes/users/cooke/86GLH/86GLHT-paint-after-1.jpg http://www.joink.com/homes/users/cooke/86GLH/86GLHT-paint-after-2.jpg http://www.joink.com/homes/users/cooke/86GLH/86GLHT-paint-after-3.jpg http://www.joink.com/homes/users/cooke/86GLH/86GLHT-paint-after-4.jpg I think it turned out pretty good. Ive painted a few cars in the past, so I have a fairly good handle of whats going on, and a good paint gun. :) I managed to cover the entire car and hood with 1 quart of paint (2 quarts mixed paint). Its still not cheap, but much better than rattle can and it will last. One thing I cant decide is whether I want to put the OEM style red decals/stripes on the car, or put everything "back in black", so the entire car, decals, and everything is black.
