The Ford Barn

Lawson Cox · 08-20-2020, 09:57 PM

I posed this same question on a thread several years ago but I cannot locate it in the archives and my fading memory cannot recall all of the great suggestions given to me. I have a NOS radiator core, still in the box, that is covered with fine film of oxidation on the brass. I need good solution for removing the oxidation before painting. Looking for information to refresh my memory.

Also, what is the correct nomenclature for the felt covered glass channel pieces that fit in the rear edge of the front doors that the glass slides back into when "cracking" the window for ventilation. We call them "Bat wings" around here, but that is not a Ford term.

Much appreciation from an old man with a bad case of CRS.
