Ash tray retainer spring steel piece
Posted: July 21, 2017, 8:28 pm
Hi all, been a member here for a while but haven't posted much at all. Just trying to soak up all the knowledge that I can. I have a 61 BBW unibody that I am currently putting on an 85. Crown vic chassis. I originally bought a 2008 crown victoria to put the truck body on before I even found my truck, but when I found the truck on Craig's list and got it home from Tennessee, I knew I couldn't do that to it. Sounds crazy right? Even though I'm still putting it on a crown vic frame for the ride and drive train, I still want to keep it old school with the overall feel of the truck.
But anyway, sorry for the rambling, if I can figure out how to post pictures I'll put some on here for everyone to see, because I know you guys are a lot like me and pictures are worth a thousand words. I build and test jet engines for a living, but can't figure out how to post pictures.
Ok the reason for this post is during my rust removal adventures I put my ashtray in some apple cider vinegar and it did a good job of removing the rust, too good of a job. It completely ate the spring steel retainer piece, and it wasn't even rusted, just the tray itself was. The only place I have been able to find one is on eBay. Before I pay 25 plus for one I thought I would ask if anyone here has an extra one they would like to sell. I will gladly give 25 for one but would rather not give it to someone on eBay.
PM me if any one has one to sell please.
Thanks,
Mark
