+1 The originals are like the first photo, note how the vinyl is lifting out of the center of the arc. It is difficult to pull it tight over the metal with out pulling up the center. Most of the aftermarket covers add a seam in the center to help with the lifting. One tip when looking to buy...

I went to the dreaded fabric store and found the Rit. It works wonders on black belts. Marty

I use clothing dye. In really hot water then rinse with cold to set the dye. I have never had it come off on me. Marty

In the Concours classes if it was noticeably off I might deduct -1. Exact colors back to original are tough with todays paints. Base coat clear coat just looks different than enamel. 1968 Thoroughbred class you must use enamel paint. Much of what is put in rattle cans is not close. Marty

It's a little light but not bad. Marty

If you are interested in it being correct, yes they are covered.

Mike I have to make some for someone else I can send one to you too. I am glad it has been useful, I remember how nervous I was cutting on my newly restored doors. Marty

No one said that it was not possible. Just easier and more accurate. The screws mount in a square insert that must be centered If you miss the speaker hole by 1/4 of an inch it will show out side of the grill. Measure twice and cut once in IMHO.

Great find.

Many restorers do not go this deep on restoring components including my self until the last few cars. You pictures showing the internal condition of these parts show why it is time well spent to restore them if you want a car that operates like new. Marty

Bad Alternator or voltage regulator.

I carry most of your list but I am not nearly as organized. I am impressed. I carry a extra set of points or Pertronix module depending on what you are running. First it is frustrating to be on the road side, but much more frustrating not having that one thing you need. Having this stuff will...

Rob do you know who got it after you? Marty

Looks to me that he let his inner rockers get bad and hit a rough Railroad crossing. I just hate when that happens.

That is correct location but it is not for the negative it is for the started wire. Some cars have one on the front and back engine mount bolts. Be sure to crimp the eyelet a bit after you have run the wire through. Marty

Yes T-9, I have been very happy with it as a rust preventer.

Neil most places that do plating can so it. I think I paid $25 for the pair to be done. It is not hard to get the supplies and do it on your stove. Just do not let you wife catch you. That is why I have a old range in my shop. For mataintaince I spray with Boshield. Marty
