    6 cyl 200 to a 302...possible?

    Rust Repair

    Main thing to remember here that the act of rusting is a chemical process, and to reverse it you must use chemicals. Remember safety first, use good gloves and face/eye/lung protection. Just because you have sanded the rust away and it looks gone it will come back if not treated properly...

    65 mustang, front coil spring cover

    Would I do it? Not likely. Structural integrity comes to mind. If you were to remove this piece I think down the road you might find some cracks in your shock tower or on your inner fenders. Also that is the piece that your rubber bumpstop mounts to. I personally would not sacrifice the...

    some more problems
