Closing the clock case of a 63 Corvette clock

[Bill S.]

I opened a 63 Corvette clock to lubricate the mechanism. How do you close it after you open it? Pushing down on the seam with a screw driver will not properly close it and seems to leave additional scars. Is there a "trick" or a special tool to do this? If there is a tool to do this, where may I purchase it?

Bill,

Everybody uses side cutters and crimps it closed. Yes, it will leave a mark but who cares and who is going to see the crimp marks. They were on there when the clock was made.
