    New sill? Or just re-installed? Did you recondition it?

    Hi JLF.
    Thanks for following my progress.
    That is a Factory Ferrari part, came off of this car 15 years ago. I then polished it with some 1500 grit 3M pad. Located some #10 Stainless Steel screws from local hardware store.
    ( all done)

    I'm reading that Centari is NLA for maybe 10 years now. But I don't believe everything I read (unless Edwardo writes it). Is this true?

    Also, what was your last grit for scuffing base paint before respraying?

    hi blown fuse,,

    you are right, sorry, I accidentally said “ Centari.”
    I meant to type PPG “ Concept.” ( a much better quality paint.)

    and, with the New Compliant Paint Reducers, you only need to sand down to 330 grit.

    Did that give it sort of a matte finish?

    hey JLF,,
    Thanks fir following my progress,,

    No, this is a,, PPG Single Stage.
    The “matte” finish your mentioning is for the 2 stage paints, to facilitate the additional top, clear coat. (smile)

    Hey JLF

    i just use Turtle Wax. On the bottom of the SS sill, on the Car Frame and then ,, I add three 3M sticky’s under the sill then screw it to the car frame.
    Then, I installed it.
    any urethane’s on Stainless Steel tends to chip and yellow with time.

    Thanks for the wrench offer, that would be nice for a qv in my future. ( smile)

    Hey John,

    I hope your projects are going as planned.
    This one is quite bumpy, but now better. ( whew)
    Ha ha

    Plz. vote. ☺️

    Image Unavailable, Please Login So I got the, right hand side light installed. I had to decide between the USA or the European side lights.
    but, I went with USA model side lights.
    This car originally came with the European Side Lights, but I felt like I had to go with the DOT, ,?because this “euro car,” has California ARB and DOT paperwork. ( smile) And, I don’t want my paperwork to get revoked by the leftest loons in charge of the California Dept. of Motor vehicles.

    Oh followers , btw, the clicking in the foreword bank was a New Distributor Rotor combined with an OEM Distributor Cap. ( hummm, why did I get an interference,,? ) I didn’t add the cork gasket under the distributor cap. ( wee will see. )

    Won't that throw off the torque reading, being angular to the straight axis and extending beyond the torque wrench's calibration?
    Am ignernt and wanna know for science.
