I bought them from a gent in Wales, UK, but he seems to be out of business. MGAguru.com has a listing of all the bolts, nuts, et al, where one can take part nums to McMasters or the local hardware store to purchase.

@@dough3oy but apparently not for restaurants and grills. Can't understand that

@@christos7440got some carbon off coming in tomorrow for my wheels. Thanks for sharing this information, i guess be safe with this stuff try not to huff it lol 😂

@@cm.5023 not quite, with this stuff. It's works IMMEDIATELY. No need for plastic wrap, no need to wait.

@@ahmadhassan83 yes. It's pretty strong stuff

@christos7440 Thank you

@@BrianRoy-x2e funny how light they are, huh? :)

"it takes a long time" is an apt descriptor! I'm thinking I'll have about 60 hours into just the buff/polishing part alone!

@@therestorationshop <grumble> I know, I know... hours spent now equals perfection later, and I have nothing but time

I like the cart you made for the body. I am going to make one so I can roll it in and out of the barn while working on it. You didn't happen to record the dimensions? Thanks.

Yes. This stuff is freakin' legendary. No need for multiple coats, no need t o leave it to work overnight. Brush on a liberal amount and within seconds, it starts to work.

@@warrenp2022 I thought as much, thanks for the research!

@@christos7440 Your welcome. I bought mine in 1967 after the 2nd owner demonstrated some spirited driving on a back road in NH. Limited abilities and funding have contributed to it's present state of possibly terminal dis-repair. Maybe someday I will work on it instead of watching everyone else.

​@@warrenp2022 maybe look me up if you decide to sell :)

@@christos7440 I may. I have memories of it being fun, if slow on acceleration, to drive when I was 19 through 26 before I took it off the road for some repairs. I was better at disassembly it seems as it never was driven again. Now at 76 with an aging body the reality of crawling around trying to weld new panels and all the rest may be too much. I have a spare car minus the engine and transmission for odd parts and a blueprint of how it should go together, it is a 1600 but close enough. A point of contention, I spent five years in the Army! 😎

@@adamscoggins4553 likely the whole account. I'm using fiberglass fenders so didn't strip the ones that came with the car, and what was left didn't need stripping or was mechanically stripped (smaller pieces).

Amazon. It's a bit pricey though - about $98 per gallon. You've seen how effective it was though. For me, well worth the cost.

same chemical. dichloromethane or methylene chloride

Hi there! No, not original. Mercedes, Audi and a few domestic brands have the same formula. Chevy calls it Elkhart Blue, common I think, to Impallas and such. It has a nice metallic to it

@@christos7440 thanks! Really nice with the white walls. Well done!!

@@jed7644 I uploaded another video, same stuff but without music

I've got another round of clear coat to put down, but I appreciate the kind words

It was roasting in the space where I keep my compressor, which led to it not working well. I would like to invest in a garage AC, if nothing more than to keep temps bearable in the summer, at least enough to put down more clear coat some time in the future.

Thanks! I'm having trepidation on the color - I'm looking for a burnt Orange for either a '19 Ford GT or a MacLaren P1, but cant find the paint code

So, burnt orange was a tri-coat, so I went with an Acura red instead

Yeah, bookmark this as "the dumbest thing that dude did so far!" :)

@@christos7440 I just got a '62 MGA and I'm going to be following you to help me on my project. Thanks for posting your journey.

@@jonathonmctaggart are you on mgexp.com? I started there with my roadster and got to know a lot of folks and I got great tech tips and advice (I'm a member, not an influencer)

I would have instead said "chattering your teeth," as my gums hold a full set of the things

Or, if you disapprove of the baritone of my finely modulated voice, you could watch something else. That's an option...

In my heart, I feel you will get over it

@@christos7440 you’re lucky I like you. 🤣

I searched fruitlessly for that S/N multiple times. No idea where the heck it is/was.

I don't know of a source for the seals ... it never occurred to me that they're hard to find. I usually go with Moss Motors first, and then branch out.

I decided to call Moss and spoke to them --- and they -- DO -- have them both --- front and rear ---- One has to get them in a Bundle Package and they are on back order --- Makes me feel a lot better --- for I have a chance at getting a Coupe also ---- I wouldn't want to get the glass out and not have a source for the seals

They're probably as hot as any other car from the 50s. I'll be adding air conditioning to mine in time

@@christos7440 I've got a '54 Nash Healey Coupe and will add AC as well.

@@therestorationshop Very nice!, especially in silver

Lovely car, superb music! There's another, music-less version, with the same video, if you are interested.

It looks like all the normally rusty bits (inner sills, rockers) have been replaced already, so I got a helluva great setup

I did more work this weekend, using that same stuff. Sure as hell beats sanding all the old paint off, and orders of magnitude cheaper than having it dipped.

Oh crap! I forgot to edit that out!

@@christos7440 All good, if you can't laugh at farts, you're choosing to have the same number of farts with less laughter.

Moss Motors sells these. I believe Kilmarten and Metal Mickey do as well

From.all that I have read moss panel is of poor quality

@@michaelsmith7544 I've heard it too, but the ones I got were fine. The "Moss sux" bandwagon seems to have a life of its own, but I've had more issues with their competitors than with Moss itself. If nothing else, at least I can get in touch with Moss' reps. Head to mgexp.com and look in the MGA section - lots of members there and a lot of vendors who advertise for parts for our cars. Moss isn't the only game in town and some of the specialty vendors make really good products

My roadster is done, minus any minor changes I might do later. I buy a lot of parts from other MGA owners, and new if it's chrome or such.

Oh great. ... that actually explains a few things though.

Nice! These are pretty unique little cars, that's for sure

Or $1 per gallon wine :)

My first, the blue roadster, was a rusty nightmare. This is a veritable virgin by comparison

Not sure what that means ...

Well, I paid $60k for it. ;)

Yeah, agreed. I'm already resigned to do just that...

Not sure I'm going to cut in the stop light. I'm thinking I'll mount it externally...
