Staples
In order to sandblast steel parts that have rubber pieces stapled to them I would remove all old staples. I also sandblast all rubber parts to clean them.
I made new staples using 18 gauge galvanized steel wire. This is the gauge originally used. I would hand form each staple using a pair of needle nose pliers. I would make them extra long and after staple is inserted through steel & rubber I trim them down to final length. I then use the tip of the needle nose pliers and curl over the end of each staple.
Fan shrouds were only used on the 61 & 62 Tempests with A/C.
The 3 pieces shown in 3rd picture help to seal along the bottom of radiator and were only used on A/C cars.
The part shown in last 2 pictures is the stone guard that goes behind rear quarter to protect gas tank filler neck.
